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 Subs
Each week, we post a meatless recipe that is intended as a dinner meal. It's easy to forget, however, that the point of Meatless Monday is to spend the day without meat. On that note, we are going to start introducing some breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that are all meat … [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...]

Meatless Monday: Vegetarian Tapas
We are all about keeping our dinners simple, affordable, and tasty. On the other hand, I'm still just a big kid who still likes to play with his food. Sometimes, experimenting with new flavors or new types of food can really negate these factors (especially the tasty part). … [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...]
Meatless Monday: Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Sometimes after a long day, we just need a dinner that is quick, easy, and not too heavy. We tend to keep pie shells, eggs, mushrooms, spinach, and cheese around at all times so it's only natural that a quiche would find it's way into our repertoire from time to time. Quiche … [Read more...]
