Or so it seems to our teenage daughter. But, honestly, she’s right. We do eat the same… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan

Monthly Meal Plan
While, at this time of the year, more of the vegetables we’re eating are coming from the grocery store or market and not our garden, we’re still eating what’s in season - even if we didn’t grow it and pick it from our little urban garden. Changing what I cook happens naturally because what’s at… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan

Eating at this time of year is so delicious! When I can go out to the garden and pick vegetables, prepare them, and eat them all within about 30-minutes, it’s absolute heaven.

If there’s an opportunity to make a new chart, implement a routine change, or save time with a new tactic,… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan

Weekly Meal Plan
The trick with having beans on the weekly meal plan so often is to make them taste good and be good for us without adding lots of salt. Honestly, I’m trying to make them taste great and not just good! What I do is vary the flavor of the bean centered meals and cook them… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

The last of summer 2012’s tomatoes got thawed and devoured this week. I made the mistake of thinking the sauce could be used for two dinners but it was so good, we all had second helpings! All that was left was a very small container that I tucked into the freezer. It will make a… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan
