I actually discovered something interesting last week. With all the eating out and eating on the run, I felt horrible. Even exercise wasn't enough to fend off the feeling of grease and fat and generally unhealthy foods I was consuming. I was actually missing my home-cooking and portioned meals. The balance that comes with cooking for yourself and having control over what ingredients are used and in what quantities. It has reignited my desire to continue with my weekly menu's and work harder to find ways to avoid eating out (or at least find smarter ways to eat out).
When planning this week, I really wanted to keep it simple as we figure out our balance in our new summer schedule. I created a magnet schedule (I'll have to write a post about that sometime this week), and so far the kids are interested. As for food, here's what we have going on this week.
