Meal Prep: The Week Before Thanksgiving
This week, I kept meal prep really simply since it was the week before Thanksgiving. Although I’m not hosting the main event at my house, I’ll still be coordinating Thanksgiving brunch for immediate and some extended family members and bringing a couple of side dishes to our full Thanksgiving dinner. So, this week, I utilized…

Meal Prep: Back in Action
This week, I wanted to share what I made as I got “back on the wagon” of meal prepping. The last several months, I’ve slacked off on preparing and dishing up breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for A. and me. I’ve just been flying by the seat of my pants and cooking whatever sounds appetizing on…

Meal Prep Sundays
This week, I realized that I have been meal prepping for my husband, JM, for 6 years. That’s mind blowing to me. It used to take me all day. I’m talking from the time I got out of bed until dinner time – all day. Even if I shopped on a separate day, it would…

No-Spend September 2023
This week, I am meal planning for September! Similar to last year, I am preparing in these final weeks of August for a no-spend September challenge. I detailed four weeks of groceries and meals in a series last September; here’s my week one post if you want to look back at September 2022. I wanted…

Summer Camp Lunches – Vegan Ideas
This week, I prepared the final batch of summer camp lunches for my kiddos. It’s hard to believe we’ve already finished the camp season and that school will restart in only a few weeks. My kids are homeschooled, so I don’t usually think too much about packing lunches. We tend to make lunch fresh or…

DITL: Day in the Life – Food Edition
This week, I decided to share my “formula” for food through a day-in-the-life style post. I love, love, love food. I usually enjoy cooking it – experimenting and playing with new ingredients and recipes. But I do sometimes go through seasons when no food sounds appealing and I end up mindlessly eating when I’m hungry.…

Cooking Your Way to a Dinner Plan
This week, I stumbled my way into an awesome dinner plan. Ever have one of those days where evening plans unexpectedly get cancelled or you just had no preconceived idea for dinner? We had one of those weird weeks where every hour was scheduled – until one event/activity after another got cancelled for one reason…

Meal Prep: Week of July 2nd and July 9th
This week, I figured I’d recap the last two weeks of meal prep and eating in our house. It’s fruit season around here, meaning a large variety of fruits are on sale in the local grocery stores. I’ve been buying tons of berries and other fruits, so we ended the week of June 25th with…

Meal Prep: Rounding out the month of June
This week, I’m recapping the last two weeks of meal prep. I’ve gotten a bit lax with my meal prepping schedule over the last few weeks. Memorial Day weekend threw me off and then I had another holiday off from work in mid-June and sick children. Plus, we were traveling one weekend and attending a…

Meal Prep: Time to Party
This week, I did engage in my usual meal prep for the workweek, but I also made a few special items for a party/get-together with some old colleagues. For the regular week, I kept things simple: I also made French toast using raisin bread and some blended baked oatmeals with a bunch of overly ripe…
