If you like cold quiche, that’s great. Also cold pizza, quesadillas, and stromboli. Pasta salad usually isn’t too pricey (depending on what you put in it)– our family does pasta salad a lot for “meals on the go.” Veggies and crackers dipped in hummus. Trail mix with nuts and dried fruit is very filling and doesn’t have to be expensive (if you get your ingredients in bulk).

Hello. First off I love your blog and I enjoy seeing new posts. I was wondering if you have had a chance to post your spring meal plan yet? I would love to see it for inspiration.

Most often we have leftovers on Sunday. Currently our church services are in the afternoon, so we have a late breakfast and then pack a dinner for our after church picnic.

You have inspired me to set out a standard breakfast and lunch plan for each week. I have been menu planning my dinners for years but often the other meals are neglected. I think this is really going to help!

I recently found your blog and have enjoyed reading your posts. I usually plan my menus weekly (a la Flylady), but this sounds like a good idea as well. I’m a bit spontaneous and so I don’t know if I would want to do a whole month at once, but I could see planning a couple weeks at a time.
I don’t think I could manage shopping for a whole month at once, either. We live in a small apartment and don’t have much pantry space and my freezer is tiny!

Great post, Lindsay! I have found that my life is much smoother with an adequate menu plan. I also do much better on my grocery bill!

I am learning so much about how to incorporate real food into our diet from your blog. So thank you for all of the helfpul information you post!

I have a question about snacks. Do you plan those in as well? Does your family snack? We are are big snackers here so I am always interested in finding healthier options for us!
