I’m happy to be back home after being out of town for work last week. My husband tells me he is extremely happy I am home! It is nice to be missed. I did find being away by myself to be quite interesting. I had a wonderful visit with my daughter before my work assignment [...]

This week’s menu plan actually features two separate plans.
On Saturday (December 1) I left town for my work and my family remained at home to fend for themselves. Considering that one of my titles at home is Head Chef there was some concern that they all might starve while the Head Chef was gone [...]

On Saturday at 6AM I fly out to go to spend a few days working in Oregon. I’m a bookkeeper/office manage/virtual assistant for a shop on the Oregon coast. I’ll actually be able to spend Saturday with my oldest daughter that lives outside of Portland and then drive to the coast on Sunday. The rest [...]

Last week’s menu plan ended up with a few slight changes. Mainly Friday night’s Taco Soup. When it was time to make Taco Soup I just didn’t feel like having Taco Soup that night! Instead we had something similar; hamburger patties, sauteed greens, corn bread and black bean soup (a super tasty soup from Nourishing [...]

It is quite cold here! We had snow and single digit temperatures over the weekend. I think it is supposed to warm up later in the week.
Last week’s menu plan kind of fell apart. Christopher came down with a flu bug Sunday night. He was sick all day Monday which meant my day was [...]
By Millie, on November 5th, 2012 Last week’s menu plan turned out great. Planning for breakfast, lunch and dinner really helped me with my organization– something that had been lacking quite a bit lately! We didn’t 100% stick to our breakfast and lunch plan but having it was a great reminder to staying on track. We did stick with our dinner [...]

Last week a friend and I were retrieving the rest of our Azure Standard order (a long story that involved ALOT of driving) and we were discussing real food and how it fits into our lives. Well, mostly I was complaining about how I don’t seem to try new recipes and new things lately. It [...]
By Millie, on October 19th, 2012 For the month of October, we’re focusing on tightening our belt and reducing our food costs. The main thing my family does to help with our food budget is menu planning.
Close to 6 years ago I began meal planning. At that time we were not eating a real foods diet. In fact, the entire [...]

This week started very fun! On Sunday Joe and I got up at 4AM to go archery deer hunting. Well, Joe was hunting I just went along. He took me to a place he had found while I was in Oregon. It is a little over an hour from home and absolutely beautiful there. We [...]

Christopher and I arrived home from Oregon late Saturday night. Overall our trip went very well. It was a ‘work’ trip
Christopher and Sierra- Cannon Beach, Oregon
as opposed to a pleasure trip but there was some good times. We were able to visit with Christopher’s Great Grandma and also see my oldest daughter [...]

Week 2 of school but the first full week. We seem to be adjusting to our schedule. Christopher really missed his sisters last week and kept asking where they were. This week he and I will be starting preschool (homeschool) so hopefully that will help pass the time. A friend told me about Before Five [...]

It has been an interesting few weeks! With work, a minor kitchen re-do, a new job for Kiki, getting ready for back to school and a few health issues (mine- I’ll share more later but it is nothing “serious”) I’ve struggled to keep my head above water. My meal planning has also suffered the past [...]

One thing that I used to do on this blog was share a weekly menu plan. I stopped doing it some time ago but lately have been thinking of returning to sharing a weekly menu plan at least temporarily. One question that is often asked of me in ‘real life’ is “what do you eat”. [...]
