Monthly Meal Plan: February 2013

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...]

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...]

Well, it was a good plan!

If you've paid much attention to our blog this year, you know that Beth and I challenged ourselves with a pretty specific diet plan this year.  We started off going vegan for six weeks, including a three-week detox, and planned to follow that up with six weeks on a vegetarian … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday: Baked Potatoes

Meatless Monday:  Baked Potatoes

Ok, so I know that we did Twice Baked Potatoes last week, but potatoes are a great multipurpose staple, and, if you shop on a budget like us, you are likely to buy them in 5-10 pound bags.  Potatoes keep for a while, but not indefinitely, so it's smart to plan a few meals around … [Read more...]

March 2012 Monthly Meal Plan

Our Monthly Meal Plan has kind of become a staple of our budgeting process.  Rather than planning for meals from week to week, we put in a little extra time and effort and knock it out right away.  It takes a little discipline, but sticking to the plan can keep costs down and … [Read more...]
