New Emeals Slow Cooker Plan Makes Meal Planning Quick and Easy
Life is hectic for today’s moms, isn’t it? Many of us work and then we have housework on top of that. In addition, we have kids to taxi to their various activities and meals to get on the table. Is it any wonder that so many of us struggle to get a home cooked meal on the table each night? I know I struggle tremendously with meal planning and we eat out a lot more than we should. So I was glad to get the opportunity to learn about Emeals. Emeals offers a variety of meal plan subscriptions to fit your needs – from vegetarian to gluten-free to clean eating. I was excited to discover that they also have a slow cooker plan. I think every busy mom should have a slow cooker in their kitchen – especially for those days when we just don’t have a … Continue reading
Weekly Meal Plan – March 4, 2013
It’s been awhile since we posted a weekly meal plan. Sometimes real life just gets in the way and our grocery budget has unfortunately suffered because of it. So I am hoping to get back into the habit of meal planning on a regular basis. I actually planned out meals for the rest of March because I want to get some freezer cooking done. I don’t do a huge all-day freezer cooking session as I never have time for that. I prefer to add to our deep freezer a little at a time, mostly by making double batches of the meals that we are having during the week. Anyway, here’s our weekly meal plan: Sunday: Chicken and Broccoli Casserole, Mixed Berries Monday: Oven Baked Tacos, Brussels Sprouts, Fresh Pineapple Freezer cooking: Make extra refried beans and fry up extra seasoned ground beef. Tuesday: Veggie Burgers, Greek Yogurt Potato Salad, … Continue reading

Weekly Meal Plan – June 24, 2012
I am trying to get back on track with meal planning. With all the kids’ activities, we have been eating out way more than we should. At $40+ a pop, it quickly eats away at our budget. Anyway, here’s our weekly meal plan: Sunday: Roasted Chicken, Quinoa with Avocado dressing, Leftover veggies Whenever I make roasted chicken, I throw a second one in at the same time. Then I freeze all the leftover chicken to use in recipes later. It’s a huge timesaver to have 4-6 cups of cooked chicken in the freezer for future recipes. Then I throw the bones in the crockpot to make homemade chicken broth overnight that I will use later in the week. The quinoa is basically my quinoa salad minus the cheese and eggs. I am trying to eat vegan until dinner each day so I wanted the leftovers for a quick and easy … Continue reading
