summer meal plan
vegetarian meal plan – july 8, 2013
I think we are approaching the halfway mark in the summer and we have, perhaps more importantly, finally reached a constant state of nearly empty fridge. Four meals, 7 days a week with only a couple of meals eaten out is A LOT of food to account for. I can only imagine what those of […]

We are on day five of summer break and I already find myself dreading the heat that the kitchen produces. Hoping that I can squeeze in some morning cooking and am scouring my recipe collection for entree-sized salads, quick-cook meals and anything that can turn into a tasty meal without active time over the stove. […]

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 – august 14, 2012
School is starting in a couple of weeks and we really have to get ready. Aside from replenishing our pencil stash and getting her a “big kid” backpack that can actually hold books (yikes, 4th grade!), we’ll be staying away from the shopping craze that seems to take over the retail world. What WE need […]
Moremeal plan – august 4, 2012
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 […]
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 – july 2, 2012
Not 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 […]

Those of you that follow my tweets are well aware that this past weekend was devoted to putting up 40 pounds of tomatoes (aka #tomatolandia). I’ll have a wrap-up post on that later in the week but for now, need to snap back into the reality that is Monday morning. The leftover stash is a bit […]
Moremeal plan – june 20, 2012
This summer is going to be interesting – both of us (the parents in the equation) are working from home and the 8yo is in the house full-time with the exception of a handful of half-day camps here and there. We seem to be managing to get everything done but our days are NON-STOP busy. […]
Moremeal plan – june 5, 2012
Just a quick jot down of this week. My daughter has two days of school left (including today) and then we will kick off our summer with a solid day or two of sleeping in, pajamas and good ol’ nothing. We’ll be planning for next week’s Week-O-Fun in between all the lounging and nothing. I […]
