Tip 1: You'll notice that for all four weeks, the salad on Monday is almost exactly the same. This is because we really like this salad, so we don't mind eating it a lot. If you don't like this salad, find a salad that is simple to make and that you do like. Eat that on Mondays instead.

Tip 2:Wednesday is our EAT OUT! night, because kids eat for $1 at our favorite pizza place on Wednesdays. Consider similar deals in your area for your EAT OUT! night.


Lesson Learned: Smoothies for dinner? Yes. Yum.
