How is menu planning going? We have been busy with lots of stuff going on in the background the last month or so, and I have been so grateful that figuring out what we are going to eat is not on my list of stressors every day. It takes a while to do on my day off, but so worth it on the crazy days. This week I don't have much time to try something new or complicated, so we are relying on some easy meals that put food in our bellies without a whole lot of effort. I am hoping soon we can add a little more variety to our diet, but at least with a plan I can feel confident that we are at least eating and eating healthy. Some weeks we just need to make it easy for ourselves and take care of our sanity!
Let me know how you are doing with menu planning! Has it proven to be helpful? Did you get frustrated? Do you have any tips to share?
Have a great week!
