Check out these 15 delicious and healthy meal ideas that are husband and child-approved for when you hit that inevitable meal planning rut.<\/em><\/p>\n

I finally figured out a photo organization system that works for me. ::cue the angels::<\/em> Considering the mass amount of pictures I take on a weekly basis, that’s no small feat. Among these, I have a folder of meal pictures that I consistently add dinners (and sometimes other meals) I’ve snapped pictures of and for which I don’t yet have a set purpose. I scrolled through the other day when I was in a meal planning rut and realized how grateful I am to have an online resource in which I keep a large number of weekly meal plans<\/a> and also healthy dinner ideas<\/a> to reference.<\/p>\n

So with that over explanation, I hope these 15 healthy meal ideas can offer some inspiration for those inevitable times when we all hit a what’s for dinner?<\/em> rut.<\/p>\n

Also, I owe you a grocery budget update! I’ve been experimenting the past 2-3 months with a monthly budget instead of a weekly and it’s making a difference in our overall total. It includes some store-hopping (Bj’s, Aldi, Whole Foods), but since it’s done on a monthly basis instead of a weekly, it’s manageable. My CSA starts next week too so I’m interested in seeing how that switches things up. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

YAY SPRING FOOD!<\/p>\n
