I know it has been awhile since I have posted a menu. You may also notice we are eating less grains and if I see this correctly, I believe this menu is actually grain free. I picked up most of my groceries today and definitely noticed how much more organized I feel for the week with a menu in place. It does save on a lot of time and stress.
