Menu Planning Tips:
I find a lot of recipes to try online and use my Pinterest Clean Eating Board to keep track instead of printing them all out or bookmarking them all. Works better than any other org system I've tried for online recipes.
A favorite online recipe resource is Martha Stewart's Whole Living.
Recipe and menu planning template downloads found here Recipes and Menu Planning Templates.

That looks great - the lasagne sounds lovely.
You're blog hop is great - so supportive. Definitely makes me want to get my trainers on and get out there.

Hi Jennifer. I'd be happy to share my eating out. Do you have a favorite restaurant or 2 and if I'm familiar with them or at least the type of restaurant I will share what I would order and how.
