I’m back again with a recent recipe post as everyone really loved the last one (Volume One Here). I’ve been trying to make time to meal plan more recently and when I actually make it happen it pays off with feeling creative, healthy, and accomplished in our kitchen. We are less tempted to eat out and more inclined to cook together and enjoy a meal where I know what all is in it.
That’s not to say we haven’t ordered food from some local places (because oh we have, and oh it’s so good!); but we are trying to limit ourselves to once a week if that. This stay at home order is tough stuff some days but I’m doing my best to find the good in it, and the good can be finding new recipes to try!
PS – If you love these types of posts check out my instagram page because I’m always posting what I’m eating in my stories and in my “food” tab on my main instagram page and then collect them and make these posts sporadically!
