Phase 1 Week 1 Shopping list
***Although this shopping list might look exhaustive, please remember the menu plan and recipes are intended to not just feed you healthfully, but feed your family. These recipes on the menu plan are intended to provide you with many servings and left overs. Look over the recipes before shopping to decide if you want to have left overs or not. If not and your family doesn't like left overs then choose to cut recipes in half then purchases on your shopping list will also be half of this. I can not anticipate how much your family likes left overs, but I know I enjoy having them as a busy mom who works at home. I often purchase most of my fresh produce and basics like eggs, cheese and milk and Aldi's very inexpensively. Again the menu plan is not set in stone and you can simply change recipes to meet the needs of you and your family.***
*Remember whenever purchasing anything store bought, read the label to make sure sugar is not listed within the first five ingredients.
