Meal Plan: 2/12-2/18 (with recipe!)

It’s RETURN OF THE MEAL PLAN!!! After a week of WAY TOO MANY meals out, I put together and shopped for a meal plan that has us eating home every single night this week. My goals for this week’s meals were to have at least two vegetarian dinners, keep waste at a minimum, and be [...]

Meal plan: 8/28-9/3

Some beef empanadas I made about a week and a half ago. I made a TON and they are delicious and there are some in the freezer. They may appear on the menu if I find myself in a pinch. Wow, two weeks since my last post! Awesome blogging there. I promise that I have [...]

Meal plan: 8/8-14

Meal plan is back! Now that I’m back to my luxurious part-time schedule, I have time to curate a (somewhat) thoughtful meal plan and the corresponding shopping list. As it turns out, BK is done with summer day camp and is now set to enjoy two weeks of Camp Mommy. The first order of business [...]

Meal plan: May 23-28

Image linked from 101 Cookbooks. Monday: Sea Salt baked potatoes, probably with some shaved Parmesan and maybe some prosciutto tossed into that arugula salad. Arugula from Johnson’s Backyard Garden. Tuesday: Antipasto pasta salad, perhaps eaten before or after a trip to the pool Wednesday: fish tacos Thursday: Dinner at Uchiko for Mom & Dad, fish [...]

Meal plan, May 15-21

Oh hey! Here’s a meal plan for the first time in months! I’ve been remiss in blogging, yes, and in making a weekly meal plan. This has led to many impromptu, less-than-balanced meals, many shortcuts, and just a general sense of chaos. I just completed my first three weeks of a temporary full-time copyediting job [...]

Menu plan: Feb 7 – 13

This is the inside of my freezer. Notice anything interesting about it? You know, that it is stuffed to the gills? It contains salmon, pork tenderloin, tilapia, chicken sausage, leftover roasted chicken, some deer meat shot by a coworker of Matt’s, leftover quiche, some ancient salmon burgers, frozen waffles, and no fewer than 10 tubs [...]

Menu plan: January 31-Feb 6

I confess: I wrote out this week’s menu plan during the sermon at church yesterday, but only after I updated my Facebook status expressing my joy that the offertory music was a Nick Drake song. #churchfail We’re supposed to get an ARCTIC BLAST this week, so I’m going for the warm and comforting/get all of [...]

Menu plan: January 24-30

Yesterday I shopped at the Farmers Market with the idea that I would build the week’s menu around the veg that I found. I love, love, LOVE winter produce, so I gleefully snapped up kohlrabi, beets, cheddar cauliflower, and a stalk of Brussels sprouts, all from Johnson’s Backyard Garden. (The French breakfast radishes are from [...]

Aloo gobi in the crockpot

This week has been hectic. Between trying to maintain what fragile traction I have on my fourth dissertation chapter, jumping “once more into the breach” of the Spring semester, and dealing with Week 2 of the toddler’s virus(es), I haven’t had much time for blogging (or exercise or knitting or reading or doing much other [...]

Menu plan: January 17-23

It’s cookbook week! I’ve decided to plan this week’s menu from my cookbook archives, especially since I have some that I’ve barely used! However, tragedy has struck! I just got back from this week’s shop (done a day late because I was out of town) and left my menu plan at the grocery store. D’oh! [...]
