How Often Do You Wash Your Kitchen Towels?

@stopfoodillness I keep two towels in my kitchen. One is near the sink, and it’s for drying hands, and the other hangs on the stove — it’s used for drying dishes, and only for drying dishes. Of course, it’s not like they’re labeled or anything, but since my husband and I are the only ones in there the vast majority of the time, I feel it’s a pretty good system. And it’s one I learned as a kid — my mom was strict about never using the hand drying towel on dishes because, even if you’re using soap on your…

What Your Child Can Tell You About Yourself

Are you actively working toward being the person you really want to be? Are you living your life in a way that suits you — and in a way that reflects who you want to be as a mother? One way to check in on this is to keep your child’s being — voice, actions, and reactions — in mind. Because what your child is — or isn’t — doing can tell you quite a bit about your own self, as well as about your needs, and whether or not you’re meeting them. Here’s how. Children are magical in that…

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (September 3-September 9)

A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

Happy September! It’s warm here in NY, and I am hoping it stays that way for a while because this summer girl right here is not ready for cold weather. However it’s started to get cool at night, which is pleasant so I included some baked comfort food dishes in this week’s meal plan.

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!
