It's really amazing to see what healthy foods you can feed your kids, when you just put some time and effort in planning.

I am all about healthy foods, but I was never a tyrant about never eating snacks. I guess I have to be now, though. We just...

I'm not doing the grocery cart challenge this week. I will tell you that I did go over budget, but I was under budget for the whole month by $127.26! A whole weeks worth of groceries! 
I have  new recipes this week. I found them over at The Pioneer Woman. She was in Southern Living, People-Country Edition, and More magazines. Her cookbook just came out and I'm dying to get one! The highlighted meals are her recipes.
Post your meal ideas for the week in the comments.

I forgot to mention in my last post, Grocery Cart Challenge, about my sweet potatoes. We purchase a big bag full of sweet potatoes for only $6.00 around this time every year.  If you live in the Memphis area: It is an older man that sits by the side of the road as soon as you enter Oakland. They are on a trailer. He loads 5 gallon buckets, then pours that into a bag. I would highly recommend getting a bag!! Go to recipezaar.com to find recipes.

I forgot to mention in my last post, Grocery Cart Challenge, about my sweet potatoes. We purchase a big bag full of sweet potatoes for only $6.00 around this time every year.  If you live in the Memphis area: It is an older man that sits by the side of the road as soon as you enter Oakland. They are on a trailer. He loads 5 gallon buckets, then pours that into a bag. I would highly recommend getting a bag!! Go to recipezaar.com to find recipes.
