Did you make a monthly meal plan last month? If so, how did it go? I found it helped me stick to making dinner a little better even if I didn’t follow it 100%. We still did a great job for the most part and only got off-track near the end of the month when we ended up running unexpected errands until later than dinner time.
And now for this month. Yeah, it’s almost the end of the month ALREADY. I totally fell apart on my meal plan, so here’s what I’ve got for the rest of the month.
February Breakfast Plan
I was going to change up breakfast a little bit this month because I feel zero motivation to actually eat eggs as often as I scheduled them. I much prefer a healthier muffin and want to work on making some protein packed breakfast muffins over the next few weeks.
- Egg Sandwiches
- No-Bake Peanut Power Granola (Recipe Coming)
- Oatmeal
- No-Bake Peanut Power Granola (Recipe Coming)

Hi Heather,
Are you using fresh, frozen or canned vegetables in your dishes? I usually suggest fresh as my top priority to my clients. would you please say something about fresh versus frozen vegetables.
Thanks
Fresh is my priority, but I am also about balancing affordability with eating well so if someone cannot afford fresh, by all means I encourage them to buy frozen. It is as close to fresh as you will get and still holds nutrition.
