Having a meal plan for the week is the best way to make sure your kids eat well. It minimizes shopping trips and saves you the headache of trying to figure out what to cook when kids are HANGRY (Hungry + Angry). August, September and October meals will focus on fresh vegetables from my garden. I love greek food, so we eat tabbouleh and tzatiki a lot! If you don't have a garden, shopping at a farmers market is the BEST way to shop for vegetables in the summer and fall. With the double up program, you can double your food dollars at farmers markets, check out the details here https://www.uah.org/get-help/snap-farmers-market
