Actual Menu for November 2009

Note: I didn't usually write down the fruits and vegies that we ate. We generally eat fruit for snacks and have 1 vegie with dinner. My goal is to increase that to 2 vegies with dinner. It's been my goal for a couple of years now. LOL! I also don't include the milk that we drink. To see what I purchased throughout the month of November check out this post.
