Meatless Monday: Quinoa and Black Beans
For Meatless Monday this week, we decided to try something new for us: quinoa (pronounced keen-wa). Quinoa is a South American grain that is relatively high is protein and is actually a "complete protein" (that's pretty unusual for a plant-based food). Because of this, quinoa … [Read more...]

Friday Dinner with Dad: Turkey Patty Melt
When I was growing up, dinner with dad consisted of spaghetti, pizza delivery, or a bucket of fried chicken. Beth got a bowl of cereal or PB & J. Slowly but surely, dads have started moving into the kitchen. However, women still spend twice as much time cooking as men. At … [Read more...]
Two Cents Tuesday: Meat Tenderizer
Some days are pretty tough. The kids might make huge messes; laundry may have piled up; doctor's appointments; dance classes....you name it. On those days, I find it difficult to want to cook much of anything. However, I still want to be able to put something healthy onto the … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday: Veggie Stir-Fry
We have just returned home from our week-long vacation and with all of the laundry, yard-care, gardening, shopping, etc. that we have to do today, I most certainly will not feel like making a big production out of dinner tonight. So here is a simple (and cheap) way to keep up … [Read more...]

If you noticed that there was an April Meal Plan and no May Meal Plan, you were right. Big mistake on our part. See the first week of May was crazy as my sister got married so we figured we would meal plan after we got back. It didn't happen. I don't know what we ate but I guess … [Read more...]
