I have been wanting to start posting my meal plans for a while, partly to keep myself accountable and also so when my kids ask me 6,000 times every day "What are we eating today" they can look it up themselves! :) I try to do somewhat South Beach-friendly meals (most of the time) or make it so some portion of it follows the guidelines (for example, I will eat taco salad instead of tacos on Tuesday). Scott informed me last week he might want to start trying to follow the South Beach plan, although I think he will do much better with Phase 2 since it isn't quite so strict, so that's where we are with food right now!
I plan based on what meats are on sale and shop once every two weeks, although we do have to fill in fresh fruit, milk and bread on the off weeks. Usually the kids will eat fruit and sometimes yogurt with dinner since the girls aren't huge vegetable eaters.
