Summer is here, work has begun to wind down, the secret santa gifts have been given and the camping gear is being packed!
In this week's eating plan, I've included ideas for Christmas Day breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have included the main meal which is Salmon in the weekly shopping list too. So if you think that you want to include the others in your weekly eating plan, you'll need to add the ingredients.
I have also made a separate shopping list for the Sweet Treats and the Breakfast menu. Hopefully this will make things easier if you are wanting to shop purely for dinners only.
This year both of our families are spending Christmas together at Waimarama Beach in the beautiful Hawkes Bay. I cant wait to mix the crazy fun of the in-laws with the spunk of having the 3 Green girls together. Let alone all of the wonderful food that we have planned to eat. On that I wanted to share something that Makaia Carr wrote recently on her blog (http://motivatemenz.co.nz/ or https://www.facebook.com/MotivateMeNz):
'Tonight I had planned a 'clean' dinner for the family, but we all felt like fish and chips. So fish and chips it was. Meals like this are an important part of our total health and wellbeing journey, they teach us to stay included socially, treat ourselves and teach us balance. They also help us to remove guilt and emotion from our eating and encourage us to embrace our plan of healthy clean eating and active lifestyle."
