It feels good to be able to commit my meal plan to virtual paper this weekend. It’s been a few weeks and that is a far longer than I care to wing it for. Sitting a little more still this coming week after weeks of running around so I am hoping to spend some more […]
MoreSaturday is when I tend to have time to think through what to eat in the coming days and subsequent week. I bust out the vegetarian cookbooks, visit the downtown library stacks for inspiration and check out what is buried in my Evernote stash of bookmarked recipes. I also try to keep my actual calendar […]
MoreNot having leftovers last week made it really hard to continue our streak of eating at home exclusively, so I may have gone a little overboard this weekend to compensate. It felt good to stock the fridge and pantry. I made pickled red onions, pickled peppers, a large batch of black beans, vegetarian chili, summer […]

MoreI assessed the fridge, thought about a plan, committed it to virtual paper, did some prep work over the weekend and lookie there… I have a meal plan on semi-schedule. I know how to do this.
MoreHello there! I’ve been MIA for nearly a month, but I assure you that much cooking has been happening ’round here. Actually, I’m pretty impressed with the fam right now. We’ve all been swamped with work and life and fun and plans and work, but have still managed to eat nearly every meal together. A […]
