As I looked at your menu, I almost sighed with relief. A lot of other nourishing food blogs I follow have such detailed, work-intensive menus that I just want to cry when I look at them! As much as I want to eat and feed my 1 year old son and husband nourishing foods, I DO NOT want to spend all day every day in the kitchen!!! Thanks for the encouragement

Yep we don’t eat any pork, seafood etc. I allergic to seafood, but I do not believe eating creatures that eat
garbage from the sea is God’s will. We’ve even steered away from red meat. Have you cooked w/Tofu yet?

Love the Maker’s diet too. Have you read The Foods Jesus would eat? I’ll have to check. the author tho. Don Colbert maybe?

I was at the store on Saturday and I thought of you! There’s a brand of lunchmeat, called Boars head, that is nitrate free, no hormones etc. And VERY heart healthy. It’s a bit pricey. For turkey breast it’s $8.99/lbs. But OH so worth it! Not sure if you have this brand or not. Where we live (East coast) We have Giant foods, and I know Publix carries it. We don’t have a Trader Joe’s. About the only store we have that I’ve heard of out of state is Wegman’s. But I never been there, yet!

$4 for hotdogs isn’t bad tho. I think they are about $2.99 or something around here.

Thanks for the sample, it is really helping learn to plan better:) One ? for the Kidney beans for your taco salad, do the beans need not to be soaked overnight like other beans?

Your menu sounds great! I really like how you listed out your prep work. I need to do that. Many times I’ve had to switch my menu because I forgot to do something ahead of time. Having it planned out on my menu would help me for sure!
Have a blessed week!

Hi!!!!

I’ve been meaning to introduce myself. I have really appreciated your blog. I am also a thrifty nourishing traditions devotee who lives in Portland, and a believer as well!!! AND I just met the Frugal Granola at the park today to boot!!!! Well, I just wanted to comment and say that I too, love looking at everyone’s weekly plans. I have been doing that for about 18 months now and I have to say, it gives me so much peace knowing that I have a plan for what to feed my family. Recently, however, my paradigm has shifted from “what do I want to make” to “what do I have on hand, and what can I do with it!” I have learned how to be very creative and am known to do many “extreme leftover makeovers” which are fun. Not having a microwave forces me to do many creative things with my leftovers. Thanks for all you do on your blog. May I add you to my roll?

We eat nitrate free beef hot dogs (no added artificial junk), as I try to avoid pork. We get them from our local Trader Joes and they are simply wonderful! They are Aaron’s favorite, so it is a way to serve the hubby! They are a bit prizy, at $4 for 8 hotdogs, but I make them stretch, and we only have them once a week for a month.
