If you’d like to keep seeing me share our weekly meal plans with you all, please let me know! I know I don’t have some of these …
I'd love to see more of your meals-in-jars! My meal-planning (it's not really meal planning…I'm just not there yet 🙃). is generally two consecutive nights of each starch: pasta, rice, potatoes. The last day is a mash-up of leftovers, a quick freezer meal or BIG SALAD with all the random stuff from the fridge. The two-day blocks just shift down the week as needed.
I know you've said that canning is not your preferred way to save food. I will tell you that canning potatoes has SAVED my stored food and our budget. I follow a McDougall-type diet and potatoes are king! I had so many potatoes that were just as you say, getting old and needing to be used up…and I couldn't get through them quickly enough no matter how I tried. Canned potatoes make a delicious base for a curry, probably the best curries I've made. Of course, all the obvious ways to use canned: adding to a soup, air frying or baking., etc. I really resisted canning them and now I'm so glad I did it. Growing up, we had cannellini beans more often than any other bean (Italian household). We ate them simmered/sauteed with all kinds of greens and potatoes and our chili was always red kidney beans and cannellini.
I care!! I love to see meal plans. It gives me some ideas. I do chili on baked potatoes but never thought about using marinara. Keep these videos coming!
Thank you! I'm always looking for more options for my weekly meal plan.
This is a wonderful way of doing meal planning. Please remind me of what you do for breakfast and lunches. I do a meal plan for all meals and snacks. We do follow a temp-let but I just find it helps encourage me to swap recipes in and out.
Could you please share your tea mixes. I have been doing our hot tea just like the DIL video you shared and we are LOVING it!!!! It has been so so nice. Also I am curious about how you make the steal cut oat recipe…so I think you said that Adam does that. I would love for you to share that one.
Thanks for all your time and ideas. Keep them coming
I dont meal plan but I do make rejuvalac! I don't make cheese but drink the rejuvalac. How long does it take to make cheese? I've made almond yogurt with rejuvalac. Love it
It's just me, so meal planning isn't very successful…at all.
I'm terrible at meal planning. We go a week where I have it all figured out and cook amazing meals, then the next week it's like 'ok, eat vegan nuggets and annies vegan Mac and cheese, I don't care' LOL!!!! I call it balance. Kids don't seem to mind one single bit! ha! Your meals sound super yummy! Will be on the look out for the mashed potato video!
