  2. Meal planning is a great way to say healthy :) my family uses one but sometimes I don't like it since you cant have a "spur of the moment meal" without rushing to the store!

    1. Thanks for your comment! My spur of the moment meal would likely be a BIG FAT pizza! Yummm... that sounds so good. I'm definitely much more thoughtful about what I purchase at the store now. :-) xo Kelly
