MENU PLAN

Here is our meal plan for this week. I purchased a new cookbook that I have been wanting for a while. The name of it is Nourishing Traditions.It is wonderful. I have been trying to cook alot healthier for my family. We have tried several recipes out of this book. We try to make kefir on a regular basis and we found a very yummy and healthy kefir smoothie recipe in this book. This week I am using a few of the Nourishing Tradition recipes in our menu plan. I will give the page numbers to the recipes just in case you have one of these awesome books and would like follow along or join me in preparing these recipes.I will also have some of the recipes available in another post. You can get them under RECIPES!
