I have been all over the place with meals the last few weeks and have been experimenting with a new diet for myself. I hate calling what I eat a diet but hey, that’s what it is, right?

Week 7 was a better week in the meal dept. Although we were still dealing with Scott’s Dad escaping the senior living facility multiple times, we still managed to eat pretty well.

Weeks 5 and 6 were a complete free-for-all after my mother-in-law passed away. I did have something strange happen the day before she died though.

Who has time to make two complete dinners atContinue reading “Grocery Shopping and Meal Planning 2024 Weeks 6-7 of 52”

Week 2 was a pretty emotionally exhausting week and it showed in the meal dept. When I get overwhelmed or stressed I just don’t want to cook. Are you like that too?
