You may start to notice a theme in my meal plans. Homemade. I try as best I can to make my own homemade anything and everything. Why? Well there are a couple reasons. First I ENJOY it! I know, kinda crazy huh? I love being in the kitchen cooking or baking up whatever I feel inspired to do. Second, I know that it’s better to eat non processed when possible and also out of necessity because my kids have had allergies and skin problems so I like to give their bodies as little as possible to deal with (we are certainly NOT perfect about it but do my best when I can). Enjoy!
Please NOTE that all the wording in ORANGE are links to check out, thanks!

SHOPPING LIST:
So shopping lists seem to be an exact science. Please be sure to double check the list with the recipes you will be using. There is a recipe key included. I am using my list from my Plan To Eat (see below) program. This is my first time sharing a shopping list. I apologize for any mistakes, like I think I forgot bread because I make my own! 😉 I may have also forgotten a few staples like bananas, peanut butter and jelly. For the most part I hope the list helps you out. The best option for you is to get your own Plan To Eat account and add the recipes to your plan and do your own shopping list. I am telling you, I save SOOOO much time and energy with Plan To Eat! I can’t say enough about it. Get your own account by clicking the link below.
