It’s the middle of May, and my furnace just kicked on.  Although the flowers and tender asparagus shoots assure me that winter is over, I’m  not planning meals that go from grill to patio table yet!   But, I did grab the grocery circular and plan great dinners that fit into our budget, and a few that can be grilled if the weather changes.  Read more >

{There is a cool WWI poster about a wheatless kitchen on my blog but I don't have it hosted} It used to be patriotic to eat wheat free meals!  Considering the effects that the flood waters in the US and Canada are having on the wheat crops, it makes sense to be able to plan meals that do not include wheat, even if you don’t have to.  But, for those that DO have to avoid wheat, especially the newly diagnosed, we try to keep it simple, interesting, and affordable.   Read more >

Today I’m thinking about barbecue and food allergies.  It’s not as straight forward as you might think.  Marinades that the meat soaks in for hours most likely contain some sort of gluten or casein.  Ditto for the sauce.  So…what can you do if you need to prepare a safe meal?  Cook from scratch, read labels (especially on hot dogs and smoked type sausages), and plan something that does not require bread.  I’m going to start with dinner, first today!  Read more >

Happy Monday!  I think I’m on my last week of driving around between 5 and 6, then rushing home to get dinner on the table.  It’s stressful enough as it is – I cannot imagine doing this without meal planning.  Not only have I been searching for recipes based on time, but I’ve been doing as much as possible in advance so that things are ready to be put in the pan or just re-heated; my family is ravenous by 7:00!  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm clinging to my 40s, but not too tightly.  I've cooked most of my life, and been a writer for a lot of my adult life.  When my husband got cancer and sidelined in the job market, we decided to resurrect our on-line meal planner and use it to help people have a better relationship with food.  The best part of the job is that we both work at home, putting our skills to their best advantage.  The worst part is that we both work at home...
