I’m making this a quick one. Even though school doesn’t officially start for one more week, it feels like game on around here. Pre-season field hockey practices, pre-season middle school football, book pick up, locker decorating, haircuts and new shoes. You get the drill. Having a dinner plan will help me get through the week…

Weekly Meal Plan: August Edition!
The End of Summer Blues How did we get to August? All of a sudden it’s back-to-school mode. Suddenly we’re shopping for new backpacks, shoes and supplies. I need to make sure everyone finishes their summer reading and is ready to hit the ground running. Easier said than done. My sister sent me a great…
Weekly Meal Plan
A Return to Plans and Schedules (and Meal Plans) After taking a break from meal planning in June and and July, I’m ready to get back to it. This is the time of summer when late nights, loose schedules and limited structure have started to take their toll. It’s time we got back to a…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 20
MONDAY Quick homemade fish sticks (gluten-free!) with yogurt-caper sauce and coleslaw. I make the yogurt sauce with non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced capers, garlic powder, salt and pepper. If you have some parsley to mince, you can add it. You could also add a dash of Old Bay seasoning. I plan to use fresh cod,…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 19
SUNDAY Current situation: Poolside with a glass of white wine discussing takeout options. It’s been a perfect Mother’s Day. We had a big Mexican lunch and the last thing I can think about is dinner. If you’re cooking at home, I’d suggest something simple like steaks or tri tip on the grill, grilled asparagus and…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 18
We are entering our last couple weeks of school and my crew is crawling to the finish line. They’re tired, burned out and a tiny bit grumpy. Summer can’t get here fast enough. These next couple weeks a meal plan will help us stay in our routine until the school year is over. It will…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 17
Oh, brother. It’s 9am on a Monday and I’m starting the week behind. Working furiously to get my meal plan up and attacking a pile of paperwork that has accumulated over the past two weeks. Our first Farm Girls Supper Club Saturday night was magical, with perfect weather, a full moon and delicious, seasonal food….
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 16
Let’s make this a quick one! Our dinner is in the oven and I’m quickly mapping out the week ahead. One of my kiddos is throwing a ball in the front yard, one is coming home from a softball scrimmage (and will surely be “starving”) and the oldest is sitting across from me on the…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 15
Two weeks until the first Farm Girls Supper Club and I need to make room for “all the things.” That’s why we are purging our fridge big time. Not only will it make room for recipe testing and tweaking, it will makes me feel good to use what we have. Waste not, want not. We are…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 14
SUNDAY Skinnytaste Sloppy Joe’s. This is my favorite homemade sloppy joe recipe, and it’s relatively fast. Perfect for a cold and cozy Sunday. If you don’t want it on a bun, serve it with cauliflower rice or over sautéd spinach. We’re serving ours with a big salad on the side dressed with my super simple…
