Monthly Meal Plan: February 2013
So we made it through our monthly meal plan for January. I wound up dropping about 15 pounds! Beth was down almost 10! That's a pretty good month of weight loss! That having been said, we both know that we cannot sustain that lifestyle for but so long. We have learned a lot … [Read more...]
Monthly Meal Plan: January 2013
It is January! It's time to start the New Year off right. Like most people, we are starting with a new diet plan. I have been seeing a lot of good things about the "Paleo", or "Caveman", diet so we are giving that a shot this year. Of course, we will be modifying it a bit as … [Read more...]
December 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
Ok, so sue me! I missed putting up November's meal plan. Between the cooking show, half-marathon, and Beth finishing up her ebook for her Master's class this semester, last month was just incredibly hectic. That doesn't mean that we didn't have a plan; it just means that we … [Read more...]
October 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
We often buy food based on sales at the grocery store. When ribs or pork shoulders or chicken are on big sales, we stock up. Unfortunately, this often means filling up our freezer with way too much meat. Even when preserved in the freezer, the product is only good for so long. … [Read more...]
September 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
We actually had the meal plan made up the first day of this month but we have failed to get typed up and posted. As sad as that is, we hope to impress you by noting we have followed the meal plan so far this month. So here is some meal planning inspiration for … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Quinoa Pilaf
This week, we are offering a meatless side dish. In fact, this side would really be considered vegan. You could serve it on it's own for a nice lunch or with a side salad for a lovely little dinner. The quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a little nutty and meaty, the almost are … [Read more...]
August 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
Summer is a time for rest and relaxation, a time when one should not be constrained by the boundaries of a monthly meal plan, right? Well, that's what we were thinking, anyhow. We figured that we would try planning weekly meals, but when it came time to shop, we didn't have a … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Pizza di Spaghetti
I'm not a big fan of leftovers. Eating the same thing two times inside of a week is just not something that excites me. That having been said, I can't in good conscience just throw out perfectly good food. It wastes money and teaches my kids a terrible lesson. So I like to … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Veggie Quiche
No frills this week for Meatless Monday! We made a quiche with some veggies that were sitting in the fridge. We took some onions, mushrooms, and broccoli and sauteed them up with butter, salt, and pepper until the broccoli was tender. We poured the veggies into a pie shell and … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Fried Mac & Cheese
Going meatless for a day, a month, or a lifetime doesn't mean that you cannot have fun with your food. I think that, in the South, there is a consensus that, if it can be fried, it should be fried! Today, we are looking to fry Macaroni and Cheese! Let me tell you, it felt … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Twice Baked Potatoes
Sometimes going meatless doesn't mean doing anything particularly fancy or outside of the box. It can mean taking a basic, well-loved recipe and simply removing a small part of it. This is what we did this week with twice-baked potatoes. Usually, when we make these, we include … [Read more...]
