10 Hacks for Better Monthly Meal Planning

August 7 by Kristin

Running off a MONTHLY meal plan might sound daunting. Yet, when I start mentioning less trips to the grocery store, eating healthier and less waste, you start thinking it's not so bad of an idea. Considering that Americans throw away approximately $165 billion worth of food each year, we need re-think the way we're doing things.  If you weren't raised in a family that made an organized weekly trip to the grocery store, you might not know how to plan for a week, let alone a month.  You may be … [Read more...]

How I'm Finally Figuring Out Healthy Meal Planning this Year!

  One of my big resolutions for the year is to finally get on top of meal planning.

Healthy Eating: My Favorite Meatless Monday Meal

January 9 by Kristin

meal planning, vegetarian dinner recips

Let's start the year out fresh.  Let's eat all the vegetables and prep healthy meals like it's our full-time job! I've embraced 'Meatless Monday' as a way to incorporate more greens and get in the habit of eating a little cleaner. This is my go-to recipe for Meatless Monday. The kids love it and it incorporates an entire bag of arugula. This is also a relatively inexpensive meal, so it's perfect if you have extra guests.  I just add a crusty loaf of bread or some rolls on the side and … [Read more...]
