Inspiration To Make Your Home A Place Of Comfort
Sometimes your meal planning strategy needs to be tweaked. During the school year, my husband referees college volleyball in the fall and college lacrosse in the spring. This means that, like others in the sports industry, he works in the evenings on game days. Historically I’ve always planned supper meals on those days with things… Continue reading Menu Monday + Tweaking the Plans {10.3.22}
Have you heard of the “cook once, eat twice” method? It’s the idea of managing your time in the kitchen so that you cook one main dish and then use it for a couple different meals.
Let’s start with this gorgeous grilled peach salad – doesn’t that look delicious? I saw this salad on a local restaurant’s Instagram feed and realized I had all the ingredients I needed to put it together.
This week I have two new recipes that are perfect for all the delicious summer produce we’re enjoying right now. My sister sent me a recipe for a BBQ chicken pizza with peaches, and I’ll admit being a little skeptical about the idea. Trust me, it is delicious! The recipe linked in the menu below… Continue reading Menu Monday + New Summer Recipes {7.25.22}
I love the convenience of grocery pickup, but at least once a month I pop into Ingles (grocery chain) at 8:00 AM and shop their marked down meat – those “meat manager specials” for things that are nearing their best by date. Recently I’ve purchased pork chops and a whole chicken for $.99/pound! I can… Continue reading Menu Monday + How I’m Saving Money on Meat {7.11.22}

I went for balance with this menu plan, giving myself 3 meals that were super simple and 3 meals that were a… Continue reading Menu Monday + Summertime Is Here {6.20.22}
I pulled out my recipe binder last week and spent some time updating it. I had quite a few recipes I’d torn out of Southern Living and Taste of Home magazines that needed to be organized into the pages. In the process, I came across a hand-written recipe card for my mom’s Monster Cookies –… Continue reading Menu Monday + Monster Cookies {6.6.22}
This is one of my favorite times of year to be in the kitchen! Paul is in his off season from refereeing sports, so he’s home for supper – at the same time – pretty much every night! It’s so nice to plan a menu without having to choose things that reheat well or that… Continue reading Menu Monday + Summer Fun In The Kitchen {5.16.22}
I asked on Instagram if you all had any questions after reading my DITL post. I thought these two questions would be perfect to answer in today’s Menu Monday post! How far ahead do you meal plan? Do you meal plan before the week so that you already know what is for supper? I plan… Continue reading Menu Monday + How I Meal Plan {5.2.22}
We’re in a busy time of year where we don’t have as many chances for sit-down suppers. I try to plan two “nice” meals with a meat and two sides for each week, and then keep it simple for the other days. I’m thankful for the busy season and the blessings that come with it!… Continue reading Menu Monday {4.18.22}
