Wednesday's MEAL PLANNING GURU HOMEWORK: Today identify the proteins that you will pack your plan with to make your meals filling and most satisfying to your family! When compiling this list, think BROAD. For example, I would list beef and not meatballs. As with Monday and Tuesday, ask your family for their input. Put an asterisk next to any family favorites and take suggestions. Maybe there is a great protein out there that your family has never tried. Be optimistic and add it to the list!
