A couple of months ago, I talked about my newfound love of green juice<\/a>. I’m happy to report that I’ve been imbibing chock-full of vitamins and nutrients in liquid form every day for the past seventy days, and I tell you, it’s changed my life. I’ve even got M and K drinking the stuff, and we feel so much healthier. On the rare days I can’t start off my day with a tall glass of green juice, I can tell a major difference in my mood and physical well-being. I’ve got a whole system down and keep a pitcher full of juice in the fridge all the time.<\/p>\n

However, I have to confess that because I feel so virtuous about my veggie\/fruit consumption, I’ve let other parts of my food intake slide. I’ve noticed that I’m drinking more coffee again (though nearly not as much as I used to) and somehow Trader Joe’s frozen foods have been playing starring roles in our dinners as of late. And let’s not even talk about dessert. Not good.<\/p>\n

So I’m now turning my attention anew to our non-liquid diet for both nutritional content and economical savvy. I’ve gotten many lovely recipe ideas from you from past posts (of which I’ve tried many – thank you!), and I’m determined to assemble a solid list of go-to recipes that are quick, easy, and nutritious that don’t break the bank. Now that I feel more focused with K back in school, I’m finally ready to hunker down to make monthly menu plans. I was chatting with someone the other day and she’s successfully whittled her monthly grocery bill to less than $350 – I’m so inspired! What about you, do you make weekly\/monthly menu plans? Do you freeze a lot of food (something I don’t do nearly enough of)? Any tips and tricks and websites\/blogs on saving on grocery bills?<\/p>\n

On a related note, I thought this<\/a> was awesome! Also a good resource and very motivational.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
