Menu 2014: January 6-February 2

I wish you all a blessed New Year! We have been busy trying to get caught up on housework and also diving into our goals for this new year. School begins tomorrow so I need to be on top of my game in order to keep up with everything. Both Jared and I have determined to get back in the routine of eating healthy and working out so I will be trying to make meals a little healthier. My menu plan for the month is Comfort food, Sandwiches, Tex-Mex/Spicy, Italian, and Miscellaneous.

• BLTA Wraps and brussels sprouts
• Cowboy Skillet
• Grilled chicken with steamed broccoli and roasted garlic cream sauce over rotini

Sunday Breakfast Ideas - Sunday morning is always crazy so I need to have a breakfast plan
