It’s time to share my monthly meal plan. But first… Happy New Year! Have you written your goals for the year? I haven’t gotten very detailed with my goals this year like I usually do. I think it’s because instead of lots of separate goals, this year I have one goal. I’m determined to do…
Do you need to simplify Thanksgiving? If so I have gift for you. (Keep reading, I’ll be brief.) Through the years, our family has done Thanksgiving differently depending on where we were living at the time. Sometimes I’d cook for us and my whole side of the family (around 30 people). Sometimes we lived…
It’s August 2, and that means it’s time to do week one of our Summer Menu. Just one more cycle for the summer menu and then we get ready for fall! Can you believe it? But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, even if school is starting in some places, we still have a whole…
I’m so confused right now! I’m sitting here in Tennessee, (oppressively hot Tennessee) in the middle of July, writing a post about the meals we’re planning this week.

Wow! It’s been a while since I published a weekly meal plan. Last night I sat and wrote up a lengthy explanation as to why. Something about having signed up for a 28 day detox and how my current meal plan didn’t fit the “allowed foods”, and that when finding new recipes it’s easier…
Time for a new menu! March is upon us, so that means it’s time to switch to the spring meal plan. If you’re unfamiliar with my strategy for meal planning, keep reading. If you just want a list of meals for the month, keep scrolling. I decided just last month to go back to a…
In my book Its Me Or the Coupons, I show you how to set up a system for using coupons without it consuming your week. Couponing is a powerful way to save money. But it involves shopping every week. Recently I decided to go back to doing my meal planning and grocery shopping on…
Are you intrigued by the idea of a monthly meal plan? Maybe you’re just curious to learn more about the crazy lady who is proposing such an idea. I’m okay with that. If you’ve poked around this site at all, perhaps you’ve begun to notice that two of my most significant strategies to eating better…
