January 7-13th Dinner Plan

New Year Resolutions for my family are in!!! And eating more healthful is one of them, starting this week you be seeing meals with fresher ingredients and I will be cutting out over processed packaged foods (well for the most part), a lot of our red meat consumption and adding fish to our diet 2 times a week.
My husband I have decided that it is time to start eating right for our health and most importantly teaching our girls that eating well is the best thing to do and that it can be downright tasty. Beware I will be trying new recipes which I will note on the page if something is a first time use for me. I am going to be on a mad hunt to find fabulous recipes my family will love and hopefully you too. After I try the new recipe I will post my review on it and let you know whether it will be a repeat.
Also next week be watching out for some healthy breakfast ideas, lunch, and snack ideas.
