What’s for Dinner: Week 24

(tomato basil soup)

For those of you are new  to my blog I write these weekly plans to help me spend less (I kinda of love grocery shopping, yea I know I’m weird), to save time and to try and help us eat in more often. Also I love knowing what other people eat so I thought it would be fun to share. For a while I’ll be adding my plans for what greens I’ll be eating since one of my resolutions is to build a habit of introducing more green veggies into our diet. Maybe some day it’ll be so normal for us that I won’t have to mention them any more.

Ug another bad week of eating. I only stuck to the meal plan for 2 of the days. We ate out a lot, used some Restaurant.com gift certificates so it wasn’t too much money wise, but you have to spend a minimum so we ate way too much food yuck. I still am not sure what I think about those gift certificates. I got a great deal on a 6 month certificate of the month thing but I don’t know if it really saves us money and we totally over eat trying to order enough to spend the minimum. Maybe if we took people out to eat it would be a better deal, but yeah I’m still undecided. But all of that is to say there are a lot of repeats from last week but hopefully I’ll stick to it and have a healthy eating week.
