Hi there! Did you miss me? It’s been a crazy few weeks of traveling (I’ve been in NYC, Toronto and New Jersey in the last month) and on top of it all, my parents visited and I got the cold from hell. I haven’t actually cooked more than one meal a week for something like [...]

I have no real weekly menu this week, as I will probably only cook on Friday and I’m still working out just what that might be. You see, as you read this I’m winging my way to New York City for a conference. I’ll be meeting Jane and Sarah at the hotel and we’ll immediately [...]

Doesn’t it seem like we’re always thinking about something having to do with the kitchen? Cooking, doing the dishes, emptying the dishwasher, grocery shopping. I swear, I feel like 25% of my time is spent thinking about that one room of my house. Why is that? Anyway, I feel totally unprepared to do the menu [...]

How are things going following your weekly menus? I know I’ve said this before but the reason I do a weekly menu is so I know there’s always something planned, I can shop ahead and because with a menu, we eat more meals than if there wasn’t one. Without a menu, we’d eat a lot [...]

This is HARD. Two weeks of no menu planning and very little cooking, and it’s incredibly difficult to get back in the habit of planning meals. And cooking them. It’s worse that I have to actually cook them. I’m going to be faced with a two week period of non-cooking again in the last week [...]

For the next two weeks my weekly menus are going to be…pretty much non-existant. This week, I’m flying out to Toronto tomorrow and won’t be back until o’dark-thirty on Wednesday (which translates to just before midnight). Then, Thursday morning I’m having lasik and, well, I don’t think I’ll be cooking much Thursday. I’m going to [...]

Last week may have been the first week in a while I followed my weekly menu almost exactly. The only day that didn’t get followed was yesterday (Saturday) because I forgot to factor in (as did my husband when he offered to cook) that he wasn’t going to be home. He went to watch a [...]

Sorry for the lack of Sunday post last weekend. I was on the road to (and from) North Carolina to leave Brianna with my in-laws for the week. And right from there we went to the bar to watch the Colts sit Peyton Manning and their starters and crush my husband’s fantasy football win. Ah [...]

I’m not sure how it can possibly be time to menu plan again. Didn’t we just do this? I ended up cooking an extra day last week, because I had planned for leftovers but we didn’t have any. I hate it when that happens. I wouldn’t have minded so much if we had eaten the [...]

Last week’s menu was a bit of a bust for me. I didn’t get to make butter chicken, I decided to put it off until I had all of the spices I need. They’re on their way from Penzeys, which I just discovered last week thanks to Anne Douglas (I don’t actually know if I [...]
