(hamburger soup)
First week of the new year, woohoo. For those of you are new 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.
| Day | Main Meal | Goals (Veggies, Whole Grain, Fish) |
| Sunday | Big lunch out for my birthday observed |
veggies: broccoli with yogurt ranch (snacks), cabbage and nut salad (lunches), pasta and broccoli salad (lunches), green beans soup
fish and shrimp: Sunday and Thursday |
| Monday | Stir Fry | |
| Tuesday | Shepherd’s Pie | |
| Wednesday | Taco Mac and Cheese with Avocado | |
| Thursday | Jambalaya | |
| Friday | Hamburger Soup | |
| Saturday | Tomato Wine Basil Pasta |

Hey Marissa, I too am always trying to get more greens into my/my families tummies. One trick I have is to make a spinach and fruit smoothie. Sounds gross but you cannot taste the spinach AT ALL! Start with a blender FULL of raw fresh spinach and put in about a cup or two of OJ, puree. Make sure the Spinach is fully emulsified. Add any fruit you want, I usually do frozen mango, peaches, strawberries, blackberries or blueberries, and a banana. Adding OJ as necessary to thin it up. Give it a try :) I have also added yogurt (protein) and flax seed meal (grain/fatty acids). Let me know if you try it and what you think :)

I wish I could create a menu and stick to it. I’ve been trying to do bi-weekly grocery shopping to save time, and it turns out that it saves a bit of money in the long run, too.
