i realized that i have NO idea how to plan a menu/menus for a week. i do know how to cook and i like to think i am pretty good. but how to plan and shop for a week or two and then have meals that are healthy and dont break the bank.
i have always "been on a diet". dont eat this or only eat that. it is how i always lost weight. now i am looking at this is for the long term. as in "forever". a life style change and not a diet.
so just what IS a healthy meal? and i am asking for input from anyone. doesnt matter what plan you are on. and for me, i havent even gotten to figuring macro/micro nutrients. that is so beyond me right now that it overwhelms me and makes me want to scurry back to the newest diet in "womens world".
what would(or what did ) you teach your kids about how to plan and cook and shop for a decent budget?
i know i am a smart woman but this.....i dont get!
