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...]

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...]
May 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
Our monthly meal plan is a staple of our budgeting process. We look at it this way. We are planning meals one way or the other. We can do it on the fly, trying to figure out each day what we are going to feed our kids; we can plan week to week, spending the time planning while … [Read more...]
April 2012 Monthly Meal Plan
We are so very happy to be back to our normal meal plans. Our little experiment went very well with both of us losing a fair amount of weight, but the draw of meat and the need to feed our kids healthy food that they will actually eat just became too much. We did learn quite a … [Read more...]

October 2011 Monthly Meal Plan
Here is the background to the monthly meal plan … Last year, we did weekly meal plans. Well we did weekly meal plans most of the time. I say most of the time because some weeks we forgot to plan. Life got busy, school work was out of control, the preschool business started, the … [Read more...]
