Weekly Menu 12/3 - 12/7 | Large Family

I'm trying to keep things healthy but still easy enough that my teens can throw meals together with no trouble. They are getting pretty good at following recipes, so that's been a life saver for this pregnant mama!

I will clarify that although I am aiming for healthy options, I did not succeed for every meal. I had to take some shortcuts, such as premade frozen meatballs instead of homemade, due to financial reasons and my being 9 mos pregnant.

Since we homeschool, the kids are here for every meal.

If I end up having the baby this week, we will probably have a different dinner/meal plan for the day since we will also be having our midwife and doula join us for meals that day.
