Happy Monday:) One of our &#8220;goals&#8221; this year is to really be intentional with our family budget. I&#8217;m responsible for budgeting, paying bills, getting groceries, and making meals while the hubs earns the money! We&#8217;ve already talked\/made plans this past weekend about our financial goals for the year so I&#8217;m glad that is taken care of. Anyways, I wanted to share our dinners last week (after Christmas) and our menu plans for this week. I did the grocery shopping this week and came under budget (YES!). We have well stocked refrigerators right now and I plan to use what we already have for the coming weeks. Here&#8217;s to saving money and cooking at home!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6868\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
