I newly discovered a site called My Online Meals. What it does is for 4.95 per month, every Wednesday you will receive in your email, five recipes and a shopping list to go along with it. The recipes are scaled to serve 2, 4 and 6 people. You also have access to the message boards, where you can ask questions, post comments or just get some tips!

You really can’t go wrong for 4.95 per month, especially if you are like me and feel like you are eating the same thing every week! They try not to send the same recipe for a whole month! Wow..look at all the new recipes you could try!

I also found this list for Healthy Snacks…

40 Quick Healthy Snacks

3. Rice cakes – Spread with natural peanut butter and top with banana slices or raisins.

4. Whole wheat cheese sandwich – Cut it in half for a smaller snack.

5. Turkey and cheese wrap made with a whole wheat tortilla – Skip the mayonnaise and fill it up with plenty of lettuce and tomatoes instead.

6. Fruit salad – Cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and drizzle it with a bit of lemon juice as a natural preservative. Keep the fruit handy in the fridge to make it easy to grab instead of chips or sweets.
