  1. Now that we have the shopping list and menu, I need the accompanying pictures and directions. I need these things by Tues. mornings because that's when I do my shopping.(Beth, by doing this blog you are contributing to our family life in a meaningful way. I appreciate it. Thank you.) -Chris Ingram

    1. Hi Chris!

      Your best bet will be to follow along a week behind if you need pictures and all that by Tuesday as I don't take pictures till the morning I make the lunches. I'm so glad that I can contribute to the healthy eating lifestyles of your family!

    1. The recipe for the Clif bars are here:

      They are listed under the recipes page under "sides" since they're not really a dessert. Maybe I should make another category :)
