It is not easy staying fit & healthy...let alone when you're a mama and have small children in the house. How do we stay fit and cook healthy for our family when we have babies crying, diapers needing changed, and the constant cleaning up and laundry? It takes a lot of commitment and a little creativity on my part. So, this blog will chronicle my life as a mama of 4 little ones: how I make it work, keep us healthy, and stay fit.

This week's meal plan 11.10.12
Total weekly budget: $150
Notes: I have the chicken on hand for the chicken fettuccine. As a money saver, I cut down on the amount of meat. The only other meat product I need to buy this week is 1 lb organic ground beef ($5). I love pasta and soup dishes since they're more budget friendly. All recipes are linked below.
Mon- Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken (breaded with homemade breadcrumbs and cooked on skillet) with salad (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and organic ranch)
Tues - Quiche with whole wheat homemade crust with cheddar and diced organic canadian bacon; cucumbers & feta salad (2 cucumbers + 1/2 c feta crumbled, mixed with 2 T olive oil, 1 t red wine vinegar)
Wednesday - Clean Eating Sloppy Joes with Roasted Green Beans
Thursday - Corn & Cheese Chowder with homemade whole wheat artisan bread
Friday - Homemade whole wheat pizza with organic pizza sauce, organic mozzarella, (with half veggies/half cheese only) with salad (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and organic ranch)
Saturday - Leftover Night
Sunday - Weeknight Spaghetti (without meat) with roasted brussel sprouts
Snacks/breakfast items for the week: Whole wheat bagels with organic cream cheese, banana muffins, trail mix (oat bran sticks, sunflower seeds, almonds, raisins), cinnamon chocolate chip protein bars, lara bars, and maple cookies, scrambled eggs, whole wheat cinnamon pancakes (using only 1.5 c almond milk - instead of 2)
