Menu Plan
Posted By linda on November 24, 2008
Feeding my family healthy meals is very important to me. I try and make sure all food groups are meet. It does not always happen. I try to follow a general rule of eating 80/20. That means we try to eat healthy 80 percent of time. I believe it is okay to have something not so good for you every once in awhile. I try to included a fruit or vegetable in every meal. I also try include all the food groups. I don’t always list all that we eat during the day. I have three teenager who seems to be eating all the time. We are going have a few repeats from last week because on Saturday we went out for dinner. My Hubby surprised us and took us out a dinner and a movie. This is our menu for this week….

Wow! Great and thorough meal plan! I like that you include breakfasts and lunches as well – maybe I’ll add that at some point
. I like the 80/20 rule as well!
Looks good! I try to remind myself of the 80/20 rule when I slip up, and it’s helped me a lot. I’m doing that for Thanksgiving actually – 80% of my meal will be good, 20% won’t. Luckily I’m not big on the typical desserts (I don’t like pumpkin or pecan pie) – it’s the mashed potatoes and bread that I go for.
But I’m making biscotti since they are such a good 80% choice for me.
Great meal plan. Thanks for stopping by my site. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well.
Oh my, egg nog french toast – why have I never thought of that!!! We try to follow the 80/20, 90/10 rule as well. Life is too short to be stressed about 100%!
Great meal plan and Happy Thanksgiving!!
I have three teenagers (boys) too! It seems like I’m always cooking, and the two younger children are rapidly approaching those teen years as well. Ugh.
I put up the recipe for yogurt pound cake on my blog today so I hope you’ll get the chance to visit.
Eggnog french toast, that is what I want! sounds so yummy. looks like a great menu
