Did you miss the first part of this post? You can read it here. Now that you know what we've been buying are you curious what I've made with those foods, in sub-par kitchens at that? I tracked our actual meals and snacks for four days, to give you a genuine example of how we're eating as we travel. A real look at what we ate for 4 days Monday Breakfast- Eggs, baguette, fruit (apples, pears, plums), and whole milk Small lunch- Fresh fruit and [...]
This seems to be the week for giveaways geared to meal planning and cooking from scratch! Today's giveaway is a little bit different, though. Typically I share a lot about doing your own meal planning, but I know that for many people, that's still a daunting thought. Particularly for those still making the transition to real foods and looking for ways to cut down on the planning time that goes along with eating better, No More To Go just might be the perfect solution. Instead [...]
A common sentiment when it comes to eating real, whole, from-scratch foods is that (while we know they're good for us) they can be time consuming to prepare. It's a real deterrent for a lot of people who want to eat better, but feel they just don't have the time and energy to do it. I totally get that. As I shared in my "day in the life" post this week, my life is often busy, and at times, it's downright hectic. There are many [...]
Written by Mindy, Contributing Writer We all know that the best way to eat healthy meals while staying on top of your food budget is by meal planning. This is something that Stephanie has talked about often, and she has even written a book about the subject. However, for one reason or another, there are bound to be times that we fail to plan a meal every once in a while. This has actually happened a lot to me lately! I am 20 weeks pregnant [...]
Over the years, we've had our fair share of special diets. Each of our children has dealt with strong food sensitivities and restrictions at one point or another. Sometimes we make changes to our diet as a family, requiring everyone to eat the same thing. Other times, that's not so practical. When our 2 year old daughter began going through a series of special diets last year to try to clear up her pervasive eczema, the rest of us (2 adults and 2 older children) [...]
Written by Stacy K, Contributing Writer We all know that vegetables are good for us; they can help protect against many chronic diseases, aid weight loss, and provide vitamins and minerals. Yet, even with this knowledge, a good portion of the population don't eat enough vegetables. I know my family could eat more. Even if you do consume a decent amount of veggies each week, I’d venture to say you could add more; if not more in relation to the amount, then possibly more [...]

All those who know that meal planning is a good idea, but struggle to actually do it, put up their hands! (Is yours raised?) I definitely relate. I have been meal planning on and off (more on than off) for about 6 years. I know the benefits. I write about them. My budget and our family's nutritional status can attest to the fact that meal planning most certainly works. Still, it isn't always easy. We go through different seasons of life and routines changes. We [...]
