    Nourishing Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    Meal planning has been going great, it has helped me not only save money but stay on a caloric goal.

    Turning off the sink when brushing! There are so many little ways to reduce water use. Try finding new ways each day.

    We donated food last month and delivered it this month for Hunger Action Month. We donate food to help others and I’m a firm believer of helping when you can. No one should go hungry.

    Indoor all the time isn’t healthy. I may not be super outdoorsy but we find ways to be outside be it in the pool or at football games supporting the fam. 🏈
