The Healthy Tales

I don’t know why it is so damn hard to update this blog and keep it current. I mean, I eat every day, I cook each week, and I half-ass count my Weight Watcher points online. One would think I could post my meals and reviews but apparently I have gotten totally lazy! This is going to change and it will begin tonight since I spent my hour lunch break at work creating my July 2010 menu. I’ve never done this but I’ve read about it all over the internet and have been meaning to do it. Now that I’m not working 12 hours + a day, I can think about planning and being healthier.

So I am hoping to accomplish a few things with this menu planning thing. The first is I hope to cut my calories down by preplanning fun, new recipes and mixing them in with some tried and true favorites. Second, I am hoping Mike and I can cut our grocery shopping list down and save a little money here and there. Fingers crossed!

So if this works right, here is the July 2010 menu. I have added known Weight Watcher points where I could and plan to add points after I make something and can calculate the points. I have linked to recipes that I have posted in the Sunshine Rewards Forum or recipes I found there. Any other recipes are from the Hungry-Girl cookbooks and I’ll post them as I make them. Just yell at me if there is a recipe you want and I haven’t shared it in a timely manner or if you want to skip ahead.
