Our family is in a busy season of life right now because our house is on the market and we’re renovating our new house. It seems like I’m constantly cleaning and/or running between properties, which is a good 30 minute drive. That being said, I’m trying not to rely too much on convenience food or eating out simply because our budget is pretty tight lately. Also, posting my meal plan here is giving me accountability to stay strong and cook from scratch. (I’m doing it for you ladies!!)
 On another note, since Strawberry season is almost here, I’m concentrating on using up last year’s jam and frozen berries to make room for this year’s harvest. That’s why we are eating bread and jam with a few of our meals this week and I might make a few smoothies for breakfast with some of the frozen berries.
 Since I try to stay within a certain budgeted amount for groceries, I have to get creative when it come’s to buying meat because it’s so expensive. This week I’m planning on buying the bulk family pack of ground beef and stretching it with oats to get more for my money. I will cook it all at once when I get home and separate it into freezer bags or keep it in the fridge for upcoming meals. I LOVE having ready-made ground beef in the freezer. It makes dinnertime that much easier for me. So anyway, enough of the chatter and on to this weeks meals.
