I so enjoy "visiting" with you all and hope to see a new post soon.

We often have pancakes on a sunday morning too (but I don't have a cast iron skillet - can't get my hands on one here!) <br />I only go shopping once a week as I have to drive down out of the valley (and I don't really even like leaving the village), but there is a great organic supermarket and I've recently discovered a yarn store (which unfortunately is closed on mondays - the day I go shopping). So for me a meal plan is really important as if I'm missing an ingredient during the week it means going into the local town and paying 'tourist' prices for it. Also with a meal plan /shopping list I only buy what I really need and know I will use. I love your idea of having the meal plan written up on a chalk board like that - I think I will get my son to make me one.<br />We've only recently gotten a freezer so I'm not in the habit of making 'two' of things yet!!!<br />Would love to hear some of your recipes for tofu.<br />Hope you are having a nice weekend - we've got snow up to our eyeballs!!EMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900165967124695510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020110264961512124.post-21842035813959955092014-02-08T08:32:44.587-08:002014-02-08T08:32:44.587-08:00I am a menu planner, too!

And I don't do elaborate meals on weekends either (except for special occasions,) I usually want a bit of a break from the kitchen on those days and we eat simply. I love your breakfast boards! Thinking we need to find or make us some of those!taisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879175584177085316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020110264961512124.post-63866336077019518472014-02-04T06:53:50.112-08:002014-02-04T06:53:50.112-08:00Yes, meal planning is a necessity for me too!

Although suddenly we are not baking cookies so often, much to my husbands dismay. (Still probably once a week though!)<br /><br />I love having dinner prepared early in the day so that afternoons can be used for sewing, knitting, handwork…<br /><br />I'm admiring your dining table chairs too…<br /><br />Renee :)<br />renee ~ heirloom seasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946027766633119376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020110264961512124.post-78456117105903979632014-02-04T02:48:31.864-08:002014-02-04T02:48:31.864-08:00I read Simplicity Parenting a couple of years ago,...I read Simplicity Parenting a couple of years ago, and thought at the time the meal planning framework was brilliant....but then never implemented.

The simple meals, the simple meal plan, the way we do dinner/snacks/lunch. . .<br />Making extra to freeze is something we have not done, and I love that idea.

Spending fifteen minutes once a week sure does free up more time for all the lovely knitting and spinning and crafting I'd rather be doing. And simple is ideal, as in everything. Thanks for the reminder to bulk up on the meals I prepare so I can put them aside for another day.<br />xo JulesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020110264961512124.post-33811718717830316042014-02-03T04:32:27.812-08:002014-02-03T04:32:27.812-08:00Merci Sarah, vraiment très inspirant et réconforta...Merci Sarah, vraiment très inspirant et réconfortant !
