weekly eats

A while back on Instagram I asked you guys if you liked seeing my daily meals to which most of you replied “yes” so I decided I’ll try to do a round up every so often like I used to!  This is simply a true look at what a week of eats looks like for me – not always balanced, certainly never perfect!  I’ve found since having Owen (and especially now that Owen is so much more active) I have a lot less time to prepare meals so most of them are easy, as balanced as possible and eaten with one hand while wrangling Owen in the other
