What We're Having To Eat

It seems like I've gotten in a rut cooking lately, so I decided to write down what we're eating. Writing it down helps me see what I'm skipping and forces me to be a little more creative. I can tell it's fall because there isn't nearly as much fruit as we like and that we aren't eating enough leafy greens. My list also confirmed what I already knew, we eat a lot of leftovers and we eat too many chicken casseroles! My plan now is to see if I can keep from making any type chicken casserole until the end of the year.
