I like food. A lot. I spend a lot of time dreaming about making food, eating food and planning meals. I’m hungry.
I think the biggest benefit for meal planning is the flexibility it provides. I used to stress out at the beginning if I didn’t make what was on the menu for that particular night. Now that we have been doing this for a while, I am very comfortable swapping around the order of the meals …
Pineapple and Tuna? Really? A delightfully delicious and fresh twist on the standard Tuna Melt.
In case you have ever thought about meal planning and are still feeling overwhelmed at the thought of it. I am starting a blog series on meal planning. That series, along with these weekly menu posts, will eventually get moved over to their own page so they are easy to find and refer to for …
Does meal planning sound scary to you? I am here to convince you, eventually, that you DO have the time and that it will save you much MORE time in the not-so-long run. Does meal planning sound scary to you? It did to me too, until a little over a year ago when I started really getting …

I have to admit that ever since I found it on Pinterest, I had been loo king forward to making last night’s meal with a crazy similar excitement to preparing for holiday dinners. The difference is where holiday meals usually require much preparation and effort, this …
I plan our dinner meals monthly to save my sanity, time and money. Rather than post it all at once, I’ll try to post weekly to make it less overwhelming for you and me. NW Mama’s Menu for May 5-11
I can’t take credit for this recipe, but I have to share it since it basically salvaged any hope I had of cooking a meal that would please both my family and our international students. Voila!
