It's been a few weeks but here I am with another weekly menu plan. I'm going to try to post these every Saturday since I plan my menu from Sunday to Saturday. I repeat a lot of the same meals every week. No, we're not boring...it's just easier that way and we like these meals a lot so it works. Dinners will change up from week to week some but breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are usually pretty much the same every week. Nathan and I eat slightly different than the kids for breakfast and lunches since we follow THM, but our dinners are always the same. Our dinners are always "on-plan" and it's easier to just make the same meal for everyone at dinner time. If you see something that you would like the recipe for, feel free to ask and I will try to do a post with that recipe.

*Kids Snacks: (We eat snacks at 10AM and 3PM but I don't
tend to ever stick with what I had planned so I just make a list of what snacks
I have for the week and pick something off the list as needed. My snacks are a
little different from the kids but I never know what I will be in the mood for
so I don't preplan my snacks.)
-Pretzels
-Peanuts
-Almonds
-Smoothies
-Popcorn
-Fruit
-Homemade trail mix
-Graham Crackers
My Snacks: This is a list of the snacks I usually eat.
- Greek yogurt with PB,
truvia, and sugar free chocolate chips

-Shake (there are so
many variations you can make with these)
-Apple with greek
yogurt & PB

cheese
-Almonds & Fruit

berries (thawed)
*On the days Nathan is
working at the station, he takes a shake with him to drink on his way to
work. I pack him 2 snacks, lunch,
dinner, and usually a dessert. Since
Nathan joined me in the THM diet about two months ago, I have been packing his
meals.
