Need Some New Menu Ideas?

So often I have the hardest time coming up with variety in what I feed my family. I get so tired of fixing the same things over and over, and I'm sure they get just as tired of eating the same things over and over!

I'm also on a journey to feeding us healthier, but none of us are very big veggie eaters. Corn, potatoes, green beans, the occasional salad, and that's about it. So I'm working on small baby steps to switch us over to healthier versions of our favorites while slowly and gradually introducing new things. At the same time, I have to find ways to do this without spending a fortune. Can it be done? As of right now I'm not completely convinced it can, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I know there have to be other moms out there who battle these same things, so I thought I'd share our menu for the week. (My menu this week started today, Friday, because I just went to the grocery store yesterday.) I try to give the kids milk one to two times a day, water with AT LEAST one to two meals/snacks a day (they drink it on their own throughout the day as well), and juice one to two times a day.

If you see anything you'd like the recipe for just let me know and I'll be more than happy to type it up. Many of them are Weight Watchers recipes, so even though they may not sound healthy, they aren't nearly as bad as they look.
