Hi Friends! I hope your week is going great:) I’m in my “Simplifying my life Era” HA!, I’ve been decluttering and on a low spend journey (just me not my family) for almost 3 years now and I think there’s improvements (my closet is not overwhelming me anymore!) The kids toys and clothes are somewhat manageable now but there are still areas of my family life that I want to simplify, like our meals at home. I want to prepare simple meals (but healthyISH!). I don’t expect us to go unprocessed and organic, home cook 100% here! That’s not what I see happening. Let’s be real!
I like shopping at Trader Joes. I think they are affordable and have lots of fun treats. The problem is I get carried away and end up buying junky food that my family eats! I plan to share my groceries shopping/meal plans here to help me be intentional with what I get/prepare. I hope you get to join me!
Simple Meals that I’ve prepared so far for the family:
