A fun festive salad that packs a sweet punch. This orange salad is wonderful and sweet. www.busybudgeter.com

We use mealboard (which is life-transforming) to handle every aspect of our meal planning. If you haven’t heard of it, click here to read my full post on it. It’s a game changer in the kitchen. We eat simple yet delicious meals, with an emphasis on cooking extra at dinner to also give us lunch the next day (there’s only so much turkey sandwiches a girl can take). We feed a crew (4 kids and 2 adults) and our grocery budget is $150/week. We usually spend between $70 and $150 and almost always buy in larger packs.

Take a peek and grab some ideas for your owns menus this week (or steal the whole thing!)
