Here are just a few thoughts to get you started.
SAVES TIME!!
SAVES $$ MONEY!
IMPROVES NUTRITION!
Start Simple-Write down 5 meals your family likes-or-
5 meals you can start to plan with the ingredients you have in your icebox/pantry
-use your sale ads from the paper or online to create your menu/shopping list (this is the part that saves you $$)-be flexible {plan 5-7 meals and pick from those-instead of saying you will have ___ on Monday-that may throw people for a loop and then not continue}-continue once a week to set aside time to do this-take input from your kids and family members-if you don't blog and you need accountibility to do this EMAIL your menu's to me (cookwithbarb@aol.com)- I would be glad to praise you for your efforts-help you with recipe ideas or give your resources-and overall be your cheerleaderto help you stop asking yourself

** Some of my readers have often asked -"why do you eat so much Caesar Salad?" Well-that is the hubster's only salad dressing choice-so I have searched HIGH and low for a "healthy" alternative to the original and I found it!! Thank you Publix Market! Found in the Produce section of refrigerated dressings Bolthouse Yougurt dressings are DE-LICIOUS! I linked to their site above so you can see!
