Week 6 with my Relish Menu Planning and I am still loving it, but since it’s Thanksgiving Week I will resume regular planning next week.   This wee is all about planning for Thursday.  I’ll be doing a little bit each day and freezing it for Thursday.  My goal is to eat lite, because heavy food is just too much for me.  However, for one day …I can do it! Monday – HOLIDAY ITEM: Dressing. My family roots are southern so we make dressing and it is rich.  We start by making a couple hens, chickens or one small turkey.  Pretty much everything in those birds are going to be cook.  Neck, liver…it all (and I don’t like all that but trust me you don’t even taste when I’m done), celery, onions, broth, bread toasted, corn meal cooked to speck (it’s pretty dry when your done. Not like corn bread) Walnuts & cranberries.  This dish can be made weeks ahead of time.  The longer it has to sit, the better it taste.  With all … [Read more...]

Week 6 with my Relish Menu Planning and I am still loving it (but I’ve tweaked it a bit this week to accommodate what I have in the frig). Here’s a brief “how it works” - You enter how many you are cooking for and then pick and choose which recipes you like or opt for an express “already picked out” menu plan.  Then it will calculate the five meals, shopping list, directions and nutritional facts.  Love it!  You’ll notice little letters at the end of all my meals. You can read the legend below for descriptions. For me the price of $7/mo has worked it self out easily, read on that here.
