Smart Habit Saturday

June Habit: Meal Plans Again!

I don't know what my problem is but I cannot get back into a cooking routine. It's not because I don't want to cook. It's because I have no idea what to cook and nothing sounds good to me. One of my favorite meals is black bean burritos with homemade wheat tortillas. I put lots of fresh cilantro and lime on them and I could eat them every day. My kids will eat them but if I make them more than once a month they call the authorities and report me for child abuse. Stranger came home with cup 'o noodles for them to eat tonight. I think THAT is child abuse. (Stranger and I did make a great dinner tonight but we took it to book club so the kids didn't get any!)

The moral of the story is that I need to start making what I want to eat and let everyone else deal with it. (Where have I heard that before?) Having beans for dinner every night is better than no dinner right? You would think. But as my kids like to say when I tell them they can eat what I made or they can starve, "I'd rather starve."

Go for it!

Good luck with your habits this week!

Here is how you link to an individual post if you’ve never done it before: Right click on the date at the bottom of the post you want to link to (or the post title depending on where you blog) click “Copy Shortcut” and then paste it into Mr. Linky.

we just had the kind of week where i intentionally made healthy foods that my kids don't like in an attempt to get them to try new things. the first day, they mostly chose to starve, but the second and third days, we had some real breakthroughs. yeah!

Sorry about the mess up on #8. Sometimes my sneezes are powerful and I accidentally clicked a key.

I need to get back into meal planning as well. In fact that is one of the squares on my Bingo card: plan/prep dinner.

Oh I love your baby sleeping ideas on your last post! I seem to be learning things way late! My baby only just started sleeping through the night at 20 months YIKES!

And the meal planning thing I hear ya there. It's not so much the fixing it's the what to fix. Check out www.simplehealthytasty.blogspot.com maybe some my family favorites might look good to you.

I have a page called My 21 Meals. I list my most common family favorites. That way when I am planning my 2-week menu and grocery list, I don't have to wonder what to make.

I need to make my own meal plans, but keep putting it off. Also, I have a picky eater. We've allowed him to turn his nose up to way too many choices.

Why did all the meal plans fly out the window as soon as school ended? :)

Mine have been simplified lately by planning around "what's on sale" rather than "what am I in the mood for?" Narrows the filed considerably.
