All recipes use fresh, seasonal produce.

Shopping lists help use your time more efficiently and control costs.

Enjoy menus with variety - recipes are rarely repeated within the year.

Plan ahead - many weeks include one or two (or more) items that are planned for more than one meal.

And now..... The details:

New menus are posted by Thursday morning to start on Friday
The menu, each day's recipes and complete shopping list are available on the web site for easy printing - or work directly from your laptop / tablet.
If you don't like the current week's menu there is an archive of the past 52 weeks to choose from.

The Shopping List:

The Menu for the Week is in the upper right quarter
Items for the current Weekly Menu are grouped by category for easy shopping
Pantry Items are grouped so that you can easily check what's on hand.
There are numbers next to each item to tell at a glance what day it's for.

The Recipes:

Recipes are 'healthy easy gourmet' using fresh, seasonal ingredients and a variety of grains. All have photos.
Quantities: The recipes are for 2 servings - or 2 servings for 2 meals. It's simply a matter of increasing the ingredients to account for how many you want to serve..... increasing is easier than decreasing.

You will see recipes that use 1/4 cup of polenta, or 1/3 cup of rice. I plan carefully to not make too much food. We have 'planned-overs' not leftovers.
