Easy Clean Eating Menu Planning: New House Edition
Somewhere between Sandy, the ER hospital visits, and having no heat in our new house at this time, we've figured out dinner. One thing I can pat myself on the head for is my list making tendencies. Wunderlist is my BFF. Wunderlist comes with me to the grocery for a shopping list and menu writing. And pre-move in, I thought out what I would need for several days of dinners using the same ingredient purchases. Thank goodness, because in my 55 degree house, I don't think I can hold a pencil through gloves.
By planning ahead, I saved a ton of money at my Wegman's pilgrimage and we ate a clean and balanced dinner instead of take out. Albeit, with a very large bottle of Pinot Grigio.
