Autumn is always my favourite season. It's the start of jeans, sweaters, wool socks and plaid shirts. It's socially acceptable to drink tea more than twice a day {I'm not the only one, right?}. It's time for soups, stews, and all things crock pot. Oh yes, fall definitely makes me happy.

Meal planning used to be my second biggest frustration around healthy eating with my family (the first by far is getting my kids to eat vegetables). I would often default to the same old meals so that no only was I bored but my family literally couldn't stomach one more round of homemade tomato sauce.
