seasonal, vegetarian meal plans for a household of 3.
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 […]
MoreGuys, 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 […]
MoreJust a quick hello. I haven’t put a meal plan up in a couple of weeks because I am mostly working from my repertoire of old classics. You can find an archive of my spring meal plans here. I’ll get something fresh and exciting up as soon as I get my bearings.
MoreThings have been a little quiet on the blog because we have been very busy getting the 11yo ready for her first trip sans parentals. There has been lots of practice and more lists than you could probably imagine, but all that work has paid off. She is stoked! Her adults are at varying levels of nervousness […]
MoreThought it would be helpful to see how much produce we have left about halfway though our CSA pickup cycle (we get a Large share from JBG on a bi-weekly schedule). We started with all of this on March 23. Our next pickup is 6 days out. I’ll be making it through the week with the […]
MoreHave been working from my handwritten notes for this week’s meal plan. Haven’t quite cleared through the rough (my turn in bed started a couple of nights ago), but we are getting there. He has been an absolute champ and is bringing the smiles full on. Love him. Digital capture of the analog meal plan […]
MorePosting a bit late, but did manage to get a jumpstart on some food stuffs for the week. We’ll be squeezing in as much as we can work-wise before our lovely little city gets flooded with this madness and what we hope is a MUCH warmer Spring Break. Breakfast Smoothie Bowls with Granola & Fresh Berries […]
MoreThe sick has got the energy in the house on mute. Naps, audiobooks, podcasts, music, and a fair share of video streaming are going in everyone’s respective corners. We seem to have survived the weekend, but there is much to catch up on and I suspect the 11yo has at least a couple of more […]
MoreThe temperature is plummeting as I type this post and we are just a *wee bit* miffed about it. 30º may not seem like a big deal in February too most, but this is Central Texas and it was in the 70s just a couple of days ago. Stomps feet. Will be warming the house […]
MoreI’ve spent every spare moment this weekend in the kitchen. Washing greens, shredding cabbage, roasting veggies, and getting the fridge armed with basics (grains, legumes, dip, salad dressings, etc.) makes it a kazillion times easier to reach for something reasonably healthy when the hunger pangs strike. My sweet tooth this week will be satiated with […]
MoreI got my weekday meal prep off to a late start today, so I am pulling my meal plan together with all sorts of stuff simmering and baking and cooling in the background. A visit to the doctor this past week has me thinking that it may be time to shake our food routine up, so we can […]
MoreI had a full day of meal prep yesterday, so I am stoked (and stocked) for the week. Also managed to have quite a bit of fun on Instagram yesterday in the middle of it all. Seemed like lots of folks were cooking and getting ready for the week so I was able to find […]
MoreI ended up with a little more variety than originally expected, but we seem to have eaten through way more of our veggies last week than I planned. I picked up a few extra things – cauliflower and an acorn squash from the grocery store to help. I am also trying a completely new (to […]
MoreSchool, work, and the routines that come with it all are long overdue. Mornings may be a little rough after weeks of serving breakfast near-10am, but the rest of it should fall into place. Hope you have an easy week back and that you find a little seasonal inspiration for your meatless meals in my […]
MoreI’ll have my first meal plan of the year up by tomorrow morning! I realize that many of you will be shopping over the weekend to get your ducks in a row for the work week, so please be sure to take a peek at my winter meal plan archive if you need some ideas […]
MoreI imagine that I will be a bit aflutter with all the work today (10 day breaks will do that to you), but am determined to make it through what is left of the year in calm and happy spirits. Thou shalt not get overwhelmed. Our meals this week will echo that mantra with quick […]
