Meal Plan for the Week Sept 9th-15th

I based this week's meals off what we have plentiful in our fridge and what's on sale where we live. Most of the fruit that my family enjoys is on sale this week and last week. So I literally stocked up on fruit like peaches, nectarines, grapes and melons over the weekend. Plus, the greens in my garden are abundant so, they have to be cooked and eaten and stored this week.

Slowly, I have grown to really enjoy simpler foods. I love just having a bowl of fruit for breakfast. My fruit bowls usually consist of about 3 cups of fruit so enough to keep me energized and satisfied in the mornings. I am also simplifying things by having my Shakeology for lunch. I won't fret around this week wondering what will I have for breakfast or lunch because it will either be a bowl of fruit or Shakeology period. On Wednesday, I will try and still keep up the "no animal product" rule that we as a family kept up this summer. Saturday is a work in progress so until plans are solidified, I do not have meal plans in place except for breakfast. Then on Sunday morning, I will relax some and have some warm cereal just to change things up a bit.

So here is my plan for the week and I will share pics and recipes next Monday!!
What challenges do you face when planning meals
