unexpected company

My brother-in-law is unexpectedly in town for a day.  This particular BIL (I have 3) is in the military and visits with him are few and far between.  So when he called this morning, the first thing out of my mouth was “please join us for dinner!”  Yeah, I do that, isn’t it so June [...]

back and trying

I survived vacation and have so much I want to write about.  Unfortunately, I also have so much to do that relates to being away from home nearly two weeks!  My plan was to blog as I went.  The internet where we were staying would not pull up the site, though and what I did [...]

My goals for this weeks meal plan were to have at least two meals a day having 50% non-starchy vegetables.  Not every day looks like it fits, but it is close.  It’s hard to balance this with the grocery budget, using what I have on hand, and not burning out on salads.  Take a look [...]

Last week we deviated a fair bit from the menu.  This was due to taking dad to the hospital, visiting him, delays picking up my sister at the airport, etc.  This week I’m holding out for only one meal out (both for financial and health reasons!)  It shouldn’t be hard seeing as I have a fair bit [...]
