summer
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 […]
Moreall things eggplant
About time for a recipe round-up, I say. Seems like we have lots of eggplant the past few weeks and I’m sure many of you with CSA boxes are in the same boat. Eggplant has never been one to get me all riled up so I’m working a little harder this year to embrace the […]
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 […]

meal plan | august 29, 2011

Moreschool preparedness & assimilation camp
We are on Day One of our School Preparedness & Assimilation Camp. We finished breakfast at 8:45 and I think it would take us another 30 minutes to get out the door if we really had to today. Luckily, Day One, is about identifying problem areas. The girl read in bed for too long, we […]

meal 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.
Moresummer snack | watermelon popsicles
post-walk snack, a photo by a_neelee on Flickr. These live in the freezer all summer. I usually reserve a full quarter of a watermelon to ensure we have enough to stash for hot days when simple cut fruit just isn’t cold enough. Watermelon Popsicles Cut fruit away from rind. Place fruit in blender and puree […]
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 […]
