I have been thinking about what to do and came up with the idea of making a few salads that keep for a few days in the fridge early in the week. That way, I feel less like I “have to cook and plan” every night… I also made some protein options, and we can all choose what we like. We’ll see how it goes…

- Hard-boiled eggs (I’ll stick to the whites because of my gallstones)
- Grilled chicken breasts
- Grilled portobello mushrooms
- Cooked shrimp

- Cherries
- Apples – the toddler just recently started eating whole apples and is obsessed with them right now. So I CANNOT run out… :-)
Be well,
