And so it begins...

Welcome to my blog about managing a crazy schedule and trying to provide the most nutritious food for my husband and two kids, all while avoiding the need to take out a second mortgage to pay for it!!!

When I started eating Paleo about a year ago I struggled to find the time to plan enough food to sustain us for an entire week. I was always a planner pre-paleo and would make a menu for our weekly dinners, but when switching to Paleo I would find myself running out of the basics several days before grocery shopping day...this not only made us spend more money by going to the store again but I would end up eating less ideal meals because the good stuff wasn't available....so there in lies my reason for starting this blog...I wanted a place where I could go and see someones weekly menu broken down and an associated shopping list. There are a couple of sites like that out there, but I always felt like the food wasn't all that practical for a family with most recipes only being for 2 servings and that just didn't work for us. I was also slowly introducing my husband and kids to the Paleo ways and now that my husband has completed his first Whole30 (see here for this amazing and life changing plan: whole9life.com ) and saw/felt noticeable changes did I really feel like our family was at a point of total transformation.

I will be posting my weekly menu, the links to the recipes if they aren't something I've thrown together (those I'll give you the instructions), and my grocery list. I'll start with this weeks list on a post next week so I can give reviews of recipes and some quick tips for prep, etc..
