meal plan – august 29, 2012
Dude. Summer break is officially over. I deposited her at school this morning and the reality of filling my days starts now. Took the morning to get some work done after what I hope is the first of many early morning breakfast dates with him. Hard to switch gears so I am finding my way […]
Moremeal plan – july 14, 2012
Saturday 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 […]
Moremeal plan | october 4, 2011
Last week’s meal plan got thrown to the wind as soon as it sunk in that lots of baking had to happen in 100º+ weather. I didn’t have much left in me come dinner time and I was thankful that we had lots of leftovers and pasta on hand. So, this week, I owe my […]

meal plan | september 7, 2011
My plans for a quiche and soup dinner last week were squashed by the heat, but I think that we may be nearing more seasonally appropriate temperatures (for Central Texas ayways) so I shall forge ahead with more plans for hearty meals and a couple that even require the oven. Dinner: Split Pea Soup | […]
Moremeal plan | july 25, 2011
Craving lots of my mama’s food this week so I’m throwing in the Seitan con Papas and Tamales for a bit of home with a vegetarian twist. I’ve only planned through Friday, but am hoping to get some inspiration for those meals as the week progresses. Monday Breakfast: Tacos! Packed Lunch: Leftover Black Bean Veggie […]
Moremeal plan | week of july 11, 2011
We have seven weeks left of our summer break which means that it is time for me to step it up. I have ingredients for a full seven meals on hand right now and I am hoping that I can crank through it all by the middle of next week (at the latest) and have lots of leftovers on hand for lunches. Also hoping that I can whip my breakfast planning back into shape.
Moreweekend meal plan | july 1, 2011
Sadly, the severe drought that we are experiencing has put a stop to any fireworks fun this year. We’ll spend most of the holiday enjoying each other’s company, cooking and traipsing about the city’s libraries, bookstores and record shops. Have a great holiday and I shall catch you on the flip side of it. Quickie meal […]
Morereeling it back in | meal plan | june 14, 2011
I am going to spend the next couple of months wrangling our food expenses back down to a reasonable place. Feels like our food budgets have been spiraling out of control with lots of extra trips to the grocery store and more instance of food-gone-bad than I care to admit. ¡No mas! I am buying […]
Moresummer break has begun
My darling girlie is home with me for nearly three whole months (!!!) and I am ready for the lounging, reading, knitting and pool dips that fill our summer days. We’ll be enjoying our wonderful Austin as much as the heat allows us except for an escape to the beach at the very end of […]
Moreon making real meals | menu – friday, may 20
I don’t know what is up with me in the kitchen. A few nights ago it was horchata. Before that muffins. And tonight? Tonight, I made watermelon popsicles. They were really delicious but world’s away from what the fam really needed – dinner. I need to do something semi-drastic to knock me out of this […]
Moremenu – may 6, 2011
My days of winging it are beginning to wear on our stomachs and pocketbook so something must change. Also of note is that my husband is now working from home full-time and I really need to start accounting for what will be eaten, AT HOME, for lunch so that I have enough food around for […]
Morecoasting through to summer | menu – april 25
Is anyone else as relieved as I am to finally be getting April behind us? I’m looking forward to May and the “coast through to summer” mode that takes over – lazy afternoon’s at home, quick dips at Stacy Pool, kite flying and books. Only thing that we have going on this week beyond school […]

busy week for the oven | menu – week of march 28
It has cooled down significantly over the past couple of days and I think the trend will continue for the greater part of next week. Cooler weather at this time of year [in South Central Texas] is rare so I’ve been gazing out the window in the morning and daydreaming about San Francisco. Sigh. Once […]
