I was going through my freezer this past week, and I realized that I have an enormous amount of food already prepared – thanks to freezer cooking! So, this week marks a deviation to my elimination diet plan as well as my usual menu planning.
I started my elimination diet last week, but found the large stash of food in the freezer to be a distraction – and of course, not wanting to waste any food, I did eat things that were not allowed on the elimination diet. So, here’s my revamped plan – I am . . . → Read More: Menu Plan Monday – June 28 and My New Plan For Clean Elimination Diet

I’ve been on a bit of a frugal kick lately, and also making some changes to our lifestyle to make it a bit more healthy. This got me thinking on one of my favorite time and money savers…freezer cooking!
What is freezer cooking? Well, the definition is different for many people. Some use this as a “once a month cooking” concept, where there is just one day of cooking, where you make all the meals for the month and then freeze them, ready to bake or to be eaten. Some only do partial prep work for all the month’s . . . → Read More: Save Time and Money with Freezer Cooking

Well, after a week off on vacation and lots of meals eaten out, I’m back to Menu Plan Monday. I am also starting my Clean elimination diet today, so the menu has been adjusted accordingly.
Thank goodness for planning ahead since almost all of my quick and easy foods are gone on this elimination diet. This is where it really comes in handy to plan ahead (like the wild rice that has to simmer for almost an hour!) for your meals. Especially with soccer practice all week!
So, here’s what’s on tap this week:

One of my goals this year is to eat healthier. To that end, I have watched Food, Inc., eliminated most fast food, and planted a garden (I even ate a salad with lettuce from my garden for the first time!).
I am not only looking for ways to eat healthier, but also to live healthier. I have had some digestive issues that have remained somewhat unresolved (although much better), and as I was doing research on the levels of toxins, I was astonished. Really. Pretty much everything around us in our homes, foods that we eat (except organic), environmental . . . → Read More: Book Review – Clean by Alejandro Junger, M.D.

Menu planning is something I used to do quite often (albeit loosely), but I have strayed recently. So, I’m getting back on track, since menu planning is something that you can do that is not only easy, but will also save you time and money.
I like to plan my menu for an entire month at a time, since I am usually grocery shopping only once a month.
First, I take stock of what I already have in my pantry. This step must be first! Most people plan the menu, then look to see what they already have in . . . → Read More: Save Time And Money With Menu Planning
