Welcome!

Welcome to Stick to the Plan! I am starting a journey. A journey to hold myself accountable to meal planning for my family. In the past, I would haphazardly construct a meal plan, shop for that meal plan, but then end up only following some or none of the meal plan. Sometimes I wouldn't feel like meal planning at all. And sometimes I just didn't feel like cooking or planning or thinking about just to end up eating out.

Well, NO MORE! It took sitting down with my husband to determine how much money we were spending eating out to make me realize that the money spent on eating out and buying food for a nonexistent meal plan was not good on many different levels. So, I have made a commitment to make a meal plan and stick to it. This is not to say that sometimes things happen and preparing a meal at home is just not possible plus there are times when eating out should be planned into the schedule. I also need to have some accountability to myself so that I won't fall off the wagon (or at least not too much). Blogging about my attempts at meal planning will help me do that.

I have taken a lot of time and effort into perfecting my method for meal planning. I hope you can find some inspiration, recipes, and tips that can help you along in your journey for meal planning for your family as well.
