Meal planning has been sparse around these parts the last few weeks (illness including a stomach flu), new puppy craziness, and lots of travel have made for less than perfect meal planning. By now though I’ve learned to shrug it off and get back to it. It’s not a failure, it’s just life. I ate […]
March 24th Meal Plan…or not so much
This week I’m doing something crazy. I’m not making a meal plan. Why? I have a few reasons. Last week, I was hit with a stomach bug that was beyond brutal. I think I slept about 36 hours over two days and when I was awake I was miserable. When the stomach bug (or any […]
Meal Planning Pre-Vacation
This week’s menu is a little different. Since we’re leaving on vacation soon. I plan to use up as much food as possible in the next few days since I prefer to come home to an empty fridge than a fridge filled with food that’s gone bad. Additionally, there’s not much to recap from last […]

This week I’m determined to have a plan though, so without further ado here’s my Meal Plan for the week. Monday: Pot […]
Sunday meal planning: March 15-22
Sunday is food day. The day I plan for the week, do some of our shopping, and try to plan ahead for the week. This Sunday has been extremely busy, and wet again, so while I have meals planned, I will be doing shoppinglater in the week. Daylight savings time didn’t help! For the last […]
