Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
Do you dread grocery shopping and/or meal planning? Even if you don’t actively haaaate it, everyone hits a rut sometimes, needs a break, or gets overwhelmed with other priorities. There are a whole host of services that aim to make getting a healthy home-cooked dinner on the table a whole lot easier. I recently...
I’ve been following Jessica Fisher of Life as Mom and Good Cheap Eats for a while now and was really excited to see she had a new cookbook coming out: Good Cheap Eats: Everyday Dinners and Fantastic Feasts for $10 or Less. It was FishMama’s chronicles of her 2014 Pantry Challenge that lead me...
Happy Summer! Some would argue that fall is right around the corner, but I’m lucky to be able to ignore that for a few more days. Between camping trips, visits with family, and vacation we’ve been quite busy – but never too busy to eat well! Here are some highlights from our kitchen this...
It’s been a month of great eating, I must say. When I look back on a month of stellar dinners, I smile. And then I think of you, Dear Reader. 🙂 What I SHOULD be doing though is taking photos when I have a month of good dinners – what kind of a food...

There are so many deadlines at work, so many projects to start, gym membership that’s getting old, let alone the whole household and cooking. With our busy schedules, it feels that life is too short to spend cooking. The...
Meal planning for weight loss is not much different from regular meal planning—whether you’re counting calories, fat, points, or something else entirely, it’s just one more small thing to keep in mind. You might change where you look for your recipes or which recipes you choose, but otherwise, the process is much the same....
A couple of weeks ago, I posted the latest in my meal planning series of budget-friendly organic meal plans, and a lot of the comments I received had to do with the fact that people LOVED that you used up what you bought for meal No. 1 in meals No. 2, 3, 4, etc....
Most of my previous meal plan suggestions have started with a “Sunday” roast and then stretched the meat and other leftovers over the rest of the week. This one is a little different, in that it’s pretty meat-lite, and doesn’t start with a roast at all! In fact, this menu is extremely hot-weather friendly;...
