Menu week of April 30th

MAY DAY! CINCO DE MAYO!   Actually, other than it being my Dad’s birthday, I have no clue if there is a special celebration traditionally observed.  Cinco de Mayo will involve Mexican food. We’re not of Mexican heritage, but any excuse to cook up good food and party right?!

Spring has definitely taken hold and the rainy [...]

Weekly Menu - April 16

Taxes are due to day. Really I think that should be cause for a big celebration meal(because the task is DONE) – but we’re going to playoff hockey instead!  Hockey nights mean portable food to take to my man so he can have a healthy dinner too.  No use planning to live to 120 if [...]

Auto Draft

Ah, the post Easter week ham fest.  Actually, I didn’t plan too many ham menus, because my son is dancing about excited for all the ham sandwiches he gets to make for breakfast and lunch while he’s on break.  I’m also going to be gone one night, and the kids said not to plan anything, [...]

Weekly Menu April 2nd

I have a short menu this week. My daughter is on a school trip, we have the final regular season game of the year for hockey and then EASTER, which will deserve its own post.  I’ll have lots of GAPS legal yummy things on my Easter Menu.  Well, maybe not LOTS, one thing I’m trying [...]

The Hunger Games!

I never posted last week, but yesterday we did a “Food of the Hunger Games” party.  My local paper had a recipe contest for foods featured in, or inspired by the book and movie The Hunger Games.   My daughter is a raging fan of the series and we took her to the moving opening weekend. [...]

Weekly Menu March 12

March! My husband has some Irish in his background, so we take the Shamrock by the stem this week and celebrate! Really, it started out as an excuse by my husband to convince me to make corned beef.  He loves it. (So does my son) I hated it for most of my life, but after [...]

Weekly Menu - Feb 13th!

Ah, the life of a hockey mom. We have a tournament this weekend, and in typical fashion, I make my menu Sunday night/Monday early morning – and the hockey tournament schedule is not posted yet.  So I have to plan easy meals that can be ditched or put together quickly those days.  Otherwise we have [...]

Weekly Menu January 30th

Also known as “The end of GAPS Intro!”   Last week the menu planning was nearly pointless. Both kids came down with the  stomach flu going around. The boy was out for the entire week on bread and broth. The girl fell on Thursday and was only sick for 3 days.   Husband and I basically did [...]

Weekly Menu January 16

Still going on the GAPS intro.  There’s my daily journal following this over on my health blog. Feel free to check it out and follow the day by day, blow by blow saga! There were some interesting  bumps in the road with two back to  back weekends of  tournament hockey.  Nothing like a massive failure [...]

Weekly Menu Jan 2nd

Where did last year go? The end of the year is crazy for everyone and I didn’t manage to post my menus.  I was traveling a lot between Thanksgiving and New Years, so my menus were pretty scattered as it was.

This year is bringing some changes! I’ll be merging this blog with my health blog. [...]
