The only prep I do at the beginning of the month is to portion out the meat I'll need for each recipe and freeze the portions individually so that it's easy to pull out each week. And if I'm making the cashew nut chicken, I always double or triple the sauce and freeze the extra so that the next month I don't have to get out the food processor and make it again.

Been really inspired by the weekly meal planning, feeling like I might try the month long plan. You may have said this in a previous post, but are you prepping/cooking all of your meals at the beginning of the month too or prepping/cooking as you go? Thanks so much!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291612207835083437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-58529875509916740932016-02-09T12:09:58.562-08:002016-02-09T12:09:58.562-08:00We almost always use full fat greek yogurt instead...We almost always use full fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream, which I love just as much (D still thinks sour cream is better). I'll sometimes use a little cheese but usually we stick with a ton of yogurt, and then add some steamed broccoli (chopped up pretty well) or some mushrooms that I saute quickly. I try to always serve a salad on the side so that we're getting some veggies in there. I haven't been as good about veg lately as I should be. : ( Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819528155575569595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-10506316094383455312016-02-09T11:11:23.587-08:002016-02-09T11:11:23.587-08:00Question about the baked potatoes: We have been g...Question about the baked potatoes: We have been getting into having baked potatoes for dinner but I'm feeling like the regular fixings (butter, sour cream) are not making this meal remotely nutritious, duh. What are you putting on your baked potatoes to make it have more nutritional value? I'm trying broccoli this week to see if that adds anything....MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291612207835083437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-54059635892976340042016-02-08T10:10:19.728-08:002016-02-08T10:10:19.728-08:00I have always loved your blog and these menus are ...I have always loved your blog and these menus are really helping me manage our daily 3 hr commute and avoiding eating out every other night because it's "easier." Thank you! <br /><br />One of my favorite things I've learned re: salvaging a can of chipotles in adobo is to blend the whole thing and store it in a jar in the fridge. It keeps forever and then have it on hand whenever you want to add a spoonful to anything you think needs smoke/heat. crhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814395088969231718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-66205668901578435502016-02-07T09:58:33.142-08:002016-02-07T09:58:33.142-08:00I LOVE these posts - I'm obsessed with meal pl...I LOVE these posts - I'm obsessed with meal planning at the moment and really like seeing how other people plan their meals.

I'm pregnant with my second child and I'd like to try this method for the first few months after they arrive.<br /><br />The Spiced butternut squash/lentil/goat cheese salad is the #1 favorite meal in my household (husband and 2 year old both devour it). The next two favorite lentil dishes are: http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2010/06/the-best-lentil-salad-ever-2/<br />and<br />http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/lively-up-yourself-lentil-soup-recipe.html<br /><br />They are both really good!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039515205848812423noreply@blogger.com
