Here is my plan for month 2. Notice again that my count and dividing is for 2 adults and 1 toddler. So if you have a family of 4 this will be more like 2 weeks worth of food instead of a little over a month. Also I just steam some frozen veggies or toss a salad with most of these unless they are noted to be served with something else.
