Meal planning Monday

Well hello there :o) Let's get going on htis schedule thing. 

Meal Planning has literally saved my domestic life.  I mean seriously, I would be domestically dead right now without it :o)  Meal Planning makes my life so so much easier. Save money on groceries, cook every night, never stress about dinner.  I have found some awesome tools where I don't even have to do the work Ha! Isn't that fantastic.

I will share a few tips with you today and also products and websites that have helped me.  In the weeks to come I will be posting my own weekly planning guide so you can just take mine if you want :o) Sound good? I knew you would love it  :o)

My first run in with meal planning I found while blog surfing.  I came across this.....

http://www.pocketmealplanning.com/

They have all the recipes, the grocery lists, and even the pocket to put it in.  Really inexpensive and I love the recipes.  This got me going, taught me how to plan, and helped my cooking skills.

Now I have graduated to planning with my own recipes.  Here is a great website that has recipes and a planning guide on it.

One of the awesome things about it is you can be specific, like low carb, or fast, or easy and it will give you recipes for that.  It also can make your meal plan into a shopping list.  oh how lovely!

Ok so here I am going to throw in a little information about the upcoming meal planning mondays. I am on a very specific diet.  It is really changing my life.  I am the administrator of a Facebook page for Utah PCOS support. A link to this wonderful book was posted there......

Every symptom in the book I had.  If that wasn't enough to start this plan, then the thought of miscarrying again is.  You see, we are going to try and have a baby again.  But FIRST, I need to get my body under control.  This will help me do it.  If you have ever had trouble loosing weight, gain fat around your middle, diabetes or prediabetes, and for sure PCOS, read this.  It might help you too.

My personal meal plan will be according to this plan, low carb for 8 weeks.  I will also post a regular plan for all you skinnies :o) 

Today is Monday!  Meal plan away!  Ready set go!
