summer meal plan
veggie meal plan – 8/8/16
Picked up a handful of vegetables at the grocery store (peppers, cukes, zucchini, etc.) and am working my pantry and freezer to the max this week to help pull all of our meals together. Wish me luck as I try to cook up a week’s worth of meals without my trusty CSA stash. Meals Quinoa […]

The 11yo starts middle school on Friday, so we are officially in reset mode. That means practicing portion control for packed lunches, getting up and being dressed (and fed) by 8am, and having a dinner plan in place for *most* nights. This is no small task if you take into consideration how slammed we have […]
Moreveggie meal plan – 7/12/15
Last week kicked our butts, but we survived and even managed to squeeze in some quality time with my mama. Meal plans help me get my bearings in the kitchen and, in turn, the time in the kitchen helps ground me altogether. Lots of food to put up, a recipe coming later this week, and […]

The weather around here has been strange (and unwelcomed, quite frankly), but our local vegetable stash is doing its best to shake it all off. Summer is here and I am cooking with it every day. We have produce in every nook and cranny of the house, so a week of cooking for meals now […]

Guys, I need a whole new game plan to get us through the summer. My usual breakfast-lunch-dinner framework is not working. The 11yo has an insatiable appetite. She is hungry and scrounging around the kitchen for more food within 30-minutes of a meal and I simply can not keep up. I stocked the kitchen with […]
Moreveggie meal plan – september 8, 2014
We did the unthinkable over the weekend. We had to throw out produce. A cucumber, a couple of tiny eggplants, some peppers, and those darned bits of onion that I can never seem to find when I need them went from the crisper drawer to the garbage. There may have even been a zucchini in there. […]

We will be playing along with all of you that head back to school from home this week. Getting energizing breakfasts (and coffee) out to the table in the early morn this first week of practice is always a little tough, but this is why we practice. Also braving the new world of having the […]

An end of summer meal plan that aims to beat the bean and taco burnout that is currently playing out in our busy vegetarian household.

We are officially swimming in figs. Needless to say that this week’s meal plan will feature lots of ’em. I ran out of space in the fridge on Wednesday last week so I only have 4 meals planned. Getting our cooking/leftover rhythm figured out is top of mind this week as is stocking the freezer […]
Morevegetarian meal plan – september 3, 2013
I am failing miserable at meal planning while my mama is in town. We’ve been winging it for the most part and have managed to have a few nice meals out as well (more on those later this week). The following short list should carry us through the next few days while we continue our […]

Ready, set, go! Gonna take it a day at a time and meal by meal instead of the go-with-the-flow lists that have been the standard this summer. Birthday Number 10 is going to be the most challenging to pull off. Hoping to get some ingredients (pate brisee & quinoa) into the fridge tonight to make […]
Morea week of ingredients – august 12, 2013
We’re back in town after a quick trip to Dallas and are all craving home cooked meals. We got back late yesterday, so a detailed plan for the week, I have not. What I do have is a fridge that is stocked to the brims with fresh and home-cooked ingredients that I am hoping will […]
