My guests are late, which means they won’t get in until almost midnight, so we won’t be having a sit-down dinner tonight. They can (re)heat the Indian food if they want tonight, or they can eat it for lunch tomorrow. Absolute worst case scenario, it will save until the end of the week, when I [...]

Or, The Why-The-Hell-Did-I-Agree-To-Host-Thanksgiving Post
I’ve spent an exhausting weekend cooking and baking, but I seem to have everything under control. This week is Thanksgiving (eek!), so the days of $11 grocery shopping are over. My out-of-state guests are coming in on Tuesday night, and I have several meals planned out very carefully for [...]

Ok, confession time: I did not bring my lunch to work once this week. Yep, you read that right. All that wonderful meal planning involving bringing my lunch to work? Down the tubes.
Now, before you freak out, dear readers, let me assure you that I am not as far off the beaten path as I [...]

…I’ve added my tomato-basil risotto recipe to the recipes page.
Though all the recipes on that page are vegan, and therefore animal product-free, that’s one where adding some freshly grated parmasan on the last step makes it even yummier!
Don’t forget to leave me comments if you try any of my recipes and let me [...]

I’ve decided that I’m going to sum up the meal planning month by tracking what I ate for meals and what I spent on food. (Note: I’m a big “snacker,” so between meals there’s a lot of fruit and nuts (very filling) being digested. I know the meals by themselves look a little anemic.) Usually, I’m planning on [...]

I’m at work right now, and don’t have my v. organized spreadsheet of everything I ate last week, but I will do a week 1 wrap-up tonight or tomorrow, when I’m at home.
For Week 2, I’m going to focus on getting back on the bandwagon after all the unexpected spending of last week. Again, I’m working on what [...]

Oops…
The past few days have been crazy. I hit a patch of black ice at work, causing lots o’ stress and extra work. Not only that, but three unexpected social events popped up, which means that I fell off the meal-planning bandwagon the past few days. To sum up:
*Both Thursday and Friday I bought lunch, [...]

I thought I’d do a midweek wrap-up about my meal planning, especially because I might not be sticking exactly to my plan.
Don’t panic, dear readers: I might not be sticking to my plan, because I might be eating even more frugally than I originally thought. So far, I’ve made chili and eggplant cutlets, and I [...]
