We succeed most of the time sticking by it...It has also saved us lots of money! In other words, it's kept us from making quick stops at the store during the week. Girl, those little quick trips can ADD up quickly! <BR/><BR/>Let me know if you need any help from me. Email me if you need to.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Daphinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401566362778946134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920268204710565623.post-48281242812779025222009-03-31T07:49:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:49:00.000-07:00Your post really hit home with me!!

It is all too often that it is 5 o'clock and I am just beginning to consider what I am going to serve for supper. I, too, am going to start taking the time to plan our meals so that we can eat healthier.

Mostly we stay on track but occasionally we fall off the wagon...so to speak. My only problem is that I have one child (my 1o year old) who doesn't like much of anything that I cook that is healthy. So please share with us when you find something that your kids really like that his healthy!!<BR/><BR/>Oh and about the pay it forward....just go ahead and skip me and give it to the next person this time.
