If you ever wonder if I try and trick my family with meal planning the answer is yes, I do. With weekly meal planning, I’m able to keep track of how many times a week we eat fish, greens, and meat. Weekly meal plan #48 and weekly meal plan #49 each included 6-days in a… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

Weekly Meal Plan
Remember when we had to get rid of one of our backyard chickens last year? It was hard and I don’t want to have to do it again but one of our hens hasn’t laid an egg in months. At the top of the pecking order, she’s quite mean to the other hens who are… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

When someone tells me they don’t meal plan because they don’t cook elaborate or fancy meals but instead simple ones, it makes me smile. There’s nothing fancy about the meals that are being cooked at our house but I still meal plan. It’s a money saver, time saver, and keeps me on track for using… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

This week’s meal plan includes “Super Bowl Sunday” and with the football game shown on network TV and not just on paid television, we were in business. I don’t really care about watching the actual football game but I do care about what we’re eating and I do most of the cooking because it’s generally… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

“What do you NOT feel like cooking this week?” is what I try and ask my teenagers every week before I make our weekly meal plan. While I gave up ages ago trying to get them to look at a cookbook, choose a recipe, and make a list of ingredients, I do like to get… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

We’re beginning to run out of food we grew or picked this summer. It’s all in our basement freezer and every time I use the last of the berries or the last of the tomatoes, I think about how it’s time to start planning for the next growing, picking, and preserving season. We still have… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

I have them write it down so… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

Whole Foods Market contacted me recently to ask if I’d like to participate in their 28-day healthy meal plan challenge and share my progress on Go Gingham. I had to decline. Honestly, I’m afraid readers are tired of reading about what we’re eating for dinner. Because we stopped eating out as a money saving tactic… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

My plan to share my cinnamon roll recipe before the holidays didn’t quite work out. With recipe testing, not every version is a hit. Sometimes a recipe works - and I remember to write it down and get it photographed - and sometimes it doesn’t turn out quite right. The cinnamon rolls we make every… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

I tried to get my kids to cook more dinners this week since they didn’t have school while it seemed as if the rest of the country did. (Personally, I like kids in school right up until Christmas day so I can get stuff done before the holidays.) My kids weren’t too keen on the… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan
