Thyme for Cooking: Make 'dinner-time' easy
It's time to choose your Menu
Spring ..... Summer ..... Fall ..... Winter
Do you want to eat healthier meals?
More vegetables? More whole grains? Less processed food?
Do you want to relax; have fun in the kitchen?
But don't have time to do the planning?
Do you want to stop making (and eating) too much food?
A Weekly Menu Plan can help
It's easy: choose your season and choose a menu
The menus are seasonal, helping you use all the wonderful produce from your garden or CSA.... without repeating the same few recipes.
There are soups and stews in winter; salads and grill recipes in summer
If you follow the menus in order you will see that the 1/2 red pepper left from one week is used in the next week.

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.
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.
