I'm not all that good about meals when Brad is not around. It is harder to stick to a schedule, especially when you add in homeschooling. It all has to be self imposed and sometimes feels kind of artificial. We eat a lot more "kid" food when he isn't around. And we go out too much. But I do try to make sure they have three decent meals and don't just snack all day. I do a much better job providing fruits and veggies and healthier fare for meal time than for snacks.

I do make a meal plan before every major grocery trip. We only stick to it loosely. It at least gives me something to work with. When Brad is gone meals also tend to be very, very simple.

Tonight we had frozen MrsT's Potato Pierogies that I sauteed, steamed fresh broccoli, and canned pineapple. For lunch we had Taco Bell because we were out. For breakfast I made scrambbled eggs with cheese and various fresh fruit on the side.
