How To Make a Weekly Meal Plan

I think I repeat the same lines in every post or conversation I have about meal planning….“it’s life changing”….and “you can do it!”, both of which I believe to be true. However I have recognized that not every one feels like they know how to tackle meal planning, and in many cases feels as if …

Meal Plan Monday

I can feel myself and my schedule ramping up over the next few days, before the slide towards March Break. I can’t wait for a few days of no schedule and some easy living, but we still have to get there. And we still have to eat. It’s Meal Plan Monday! This week we will …

Real Food Meal Plan

I can’t call this Meal Plan Monday….because it is Wednesday. That is my life right now. I am behind, by at least 2 days, in almost everything. Not really, but that’s how I’ve been feeling. It’s just a busy time for me and my family. So you know what we need? A plan. A real …

Meal Plan Monday- February 1

My meal plan this week did not involve me looking up recipes, scanning the sales and sitting and writing a detailed list. Sometimes life doesn’t work like that. In a busy week, I made my meal plan as I shopped and checked a recipe on my phone while I was there. I still left though …

There are 5 of us, plus we have a hockey billet living here currently, plus girlfriends, plus teenage friends, etc, etc. I currently prepare meals for 6-8 people most nights. That requires a plan. I’ve tried to “wing it”…it’s a disaster…of epic proportions. I am a …

Sausage Skillet Meal with Charred Bread

This Sausage Skillet Meal with Charred Bread, was a recipe that I saw done on a Rachael Ray show last year.  It felt like a comfort food night, so I made it just recently and decided it was share-worthy.  I made some modifications, because our family likes sweet peppers rather than hot peppers, but feel …

Pumpkin Tart- Plant to Plate

There is nothing prettier than seeing the markets loaded up with squash this time of year. It symbolizes the harvest and all the hard work the farmers have put into growing their crops. There are many different varieties of squash, with them either falling into the summer or winter category. Pumpkin is part of the …
