Meal Planning Made Easy with The Home Collection – Part 2

May 21 by Kaley

Meal Planning Center - so many clever ideas here, love it!

Kaley's back today with an update on the custom meal planning system she put together with products sent to her by our latest sponsor, Post-it® Brand. Yay for organization! I thought this system was pretty impressive when she first set it up but now that I see it in action, I'm a little blown away. This fridge actually makes me excited about meal planning (one of the things I dread most in this world). My favorite part has to be the spots for snack ideas and an inventory of what's in the … [Read more...]

30 Minute Dinners- A Weekly Meal Plan For Busy Families

May 20 by Natalie

This is a brilliantly system for easy family meal planning - post has lots of 30 min. meal ideas for each theme day too!

Need some dinner inspiration? I am always looking for something new to put on the table without too much fuss. The months transitioning from spring to summer can get pretty hectic, what with end-of-school activities, graduations, weddings, outdoor sports and more. Implementing an easy weekly meal rotation could be just the thing to keep you sane when you're on a crazy schedule. I've created a dinner plan with five meal categories- quesadillas, salads, frittatas, skillet meals and pizzas- and … [Read more...]

Project Organize Your Lunch: Oatmeal To-Go Bars

July 31 by Jen

Oatmeal To-Go Bars - great for breakfast or lunch!

Having just survived a move with small children, a lot of my healthy eating habits seem to have flown out the window and I'm in somewhat of a lunch rut.   What better to pull me out than a delicious new recipe and a glimpse at how someone else tackles getting three squares a day, right? Here's Jen with the goods... Sometimes I need to remind myself that organizing isn't just about storing things in pretty jars with labels, or decluttering the front hall closet. Organizing is so much more … [Read more...]

POYEL: Organize Your Freezer & Eat Better

April 2 by Jen

Every once in a while around here, the whole MPMK team seems to be on the same wavelength with very little thought or planning on my part.  This is one of those times.  In looking over our posting schedule, I realized that this week we're planted firmly in the kitchen - covering all the wonderful things we can do for our bodies with the good stuff found there.  Yesterday it was all about honey hair masks.  Today... freezer organization for a healthier lifestyle.  Hope you enjoy! There used to … [Read more...]

My Emergency Go-To Meal Plan

July 17 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

You guys know by now I'm a big fan of meal planning.  Wether its through an online service or via one of the many options available online, including MPMK's own 6 week meal plan, a well thought out plan is a major time saver. But what about those days, or weeks, when you barely have time to cook let alone meal plan?   I've found myself up against a lot of those weeks lately.  So I've developed one more meal plan - an emergency week meal plan.  This is my list of five weeknight meals and a … [Read more...]
