Jer has discovered that processed tomatoes of any kind seem to really upset his stomach. So we went with the clean eating meal plan to try to avoid that... not to mention it can't hurt to eat healthier in general right? We committed to a three month plan (that gives you weekly dinners) and found a coupon code online (they are out there...www.retailmenot.com....don't pay full price). Also, we do the family plan so that we have leftovers for lunch etc. usually we have more than we need but id rather cook once and be done than add the lunch plan to our account and be cooking twice. :-)
Grocery shopping was a little bit of an undertaking just because I either couldn't find what I needed or we were going to make a substitution and I was figuring that out in my brain. I use the app so that makes grocery shopping fairly painless, AND I don't have to write on my paper copies. I do however write on the copies notes of what we liked or didn't, or any change we made.
The first meal was chicken corn chowder with a strawberry spinach salad.
It was DELICIOUS. The salad called for goat cheese, but no way. I'm all for trying some new things but not that, not yet. We used feta, and it was awesome. The chowder I felt was a little thin but really really good! If you're dairy sensitive it may give you some pretty hearty gas though, just FYI.
The second meal was coffee marinated chicken with blueberry sauce and lemony garlic peas. 
While it wasn't my favorite sauce I still liked it. The chicken was really good! I also really enjoyed the peas. Jer didn't care for either item but managed to eat it anyway. So it couldn't be TOO bad right? We were supposed to use snow peas....but I not only had never heard of them but couldn't find them either. So regular peas worked just fine! The sauce was probably a little thicker than it should have been, but all in all still a successful meal.
The third meal was supposed to be horseradish-dill salmon with wild rice and asparagus. I don't have a picture of this one because we were so hungry by the time it was ready (and it was so good) I forgot to take a picture of it! We couldn't find salmon, so we bought cod. However, it had a puncture in the bag and just to be safe we threw it out and substituted chicken. Yum. Yum. YUM! I don't care much for fish anyway, so I was glad to know chicken was just as yummy. They said to grill it...but I pretty much use my George Foreman grill for anything that I can (some you can't...later in the week). Also, the asparagus would have been better in the rice if it were chopped a little smaller. We didn't like the big pieces.
Fourth meal: Mushroom and Onion Quiche in a Potato Crust with Summer Fruit Salad
This made a perfect Saturday brunch! It was supposed to be asparagus not onion, but ours had gone bad before time to use it. I personally think the onion was probably better! I had forgotten to put cheese in so I had to pour out the egg, spoon the veggie mix back into the pan, put cheese in and then report egg....I was worried. However, it was amazing! Jer said possibly his favorite meal yet...EVER in emeals. I also added apples that we needed to eat to the salad. I think next time I would keep the apples and not out peaches and maybe add another kiwi! Who knew I liked kiwi!? It made SO much. But it's perfect for parfait breakfast as left overs. I'm a huge fan of this. This meal made me want to play and create my own dishes now, starting with potato cakes.
And then today's meal.....Flank Steak with a Corn Salad and Grilled Zucchini 
Oh. My. Word.
This one we did on the actual grill because you grilled bell peppers and corn for your salad. We did those separately and then out the steak and zucchini on. That corn salad was so awesome! It was so fresh on the steak. Delicious. The zucchini was good too. Next time I think I will slice the zucchini a little thinner instead of just in half. But it was great too! Jer LOVED this one. He can't wait to take it to work and show it off tomorrow.
We did skip two meals this week...I will say we will probably always skip one. Cooking every night like this is tedious and tiring at times and sometimes you just want to come home and sit on the couch. So we get a "quick meal" when we grocery shop for those nights that cooking from scratch sounds too much to bear haha. Also, the app lets you skip meals and it adjusts your shopping list FOR YOU. it's genius. I love it.
So there you go. I highly suggest emeals clean eating program. We are excited about this week's meals...pulled pork nachos here we come! For more info or to sign up yourself go to: http://emeals.com/account/go.php?r=243091&i=b11
Oh and we also baked a Dark Rum Bundt Cake that was amazing and made me want to bake Bundt cakes monthly. 
It stuck to the pan on one side...but for our first try it was a win!
