Meal Planning {Printables}

I’ve had a few friends comment on the cute weekly meal plan I have framed on top of my fridge and my response is always the same…”yes!!  I plan to get those printables on the blog…soonish!”.

And, wouldn’cha know it…today is officially “soonish”.  It’s only taken me 6 months to deliver.

instamenu

I realized that I hadn’t made them available yet because a friend had asked me, w-a-y back in November when I had first posted a picture of them on Instagram, to please include our meal plan too.  And I said “sure!”.

Yeah, about that.

If consistency were my thing, I could do that.  But I’m flighty and impulsive and totally lack follow-through.  Our meal plan changes so much – if I’m actually consistent enough to fill it out – that, well, I haven’t had much to share in the meal plan department.

Meal planning is STILL something I’m trying to get into the habit of doing.  So…you want to try too?

All our family favorites are right here on the blog…

*  turkey & black bean burritos

*  kale and butternut squash pizza

*  bobotie

*  butter chicken

*  white chicken chili

*  veggies, sausage & penne in a garlic cream sauce

*  roasted butternut squash soup and

*  grilled zucchini pizza, just to mention a few.

And because I see no point in reinventing the wheel…why not explore the minds, recipes & tools of those women out there who REALLY know what they’re doing in the meal planning department…

* Once a Month Mom

* 100 Days of Real Food

* Semi Homemade Mom

* Six Sisters’ Stuff

* Tidy Mom

Once you’ve figured out your plan of attack, and started pulling your menu together…you’ll need somewhere cute to record it.  And this is where I come in {because while my planning skills are ‘meh’ at best, I can whip out fun, colorful designs with only one eye open at 3:00am}.

The MONTHLY meal plan comes in an 8 x 10 or an 8.5 x 11 (full page) printable.  The 8 x 10 can be printed, cropped down and inserted into an 8 x 10 frame.  If you write small enough, and have a fine-tipped dry erase marker, this option is for you…you only have to print one and frame it.

Or, you can print 12 of the full page sheets off and nestle them into a binder for a year’s worth of planning.

The WEEKLY meal plan comes in an 8 x 10; ready to be printed, cropped and inserted into a frame.  You could even magnetize your frame and display it on your fridge if you are feeling adventurous.

Pick your poison, baby.

I am regularly overwhelmed by the kindness of God I am regularly overwhelmed by the 
kindness of God in the small + simple.

Things like twinkle lights + Christmas jazz,
scraping out the peanut butter fudge pot
all by myself while sitting on the counter,
and walking around the corner to find my
loin fruit snuggled up together over tea.

They may fight like cats + dogs at times,
but their bond is deep and true and sweet.
Happy release day, @dralisoncook 💛 Written at Happy release day, @dralisoncook 💛

Written at the intersection 
of faith and psychology, 
this book is yet another 
soul-nourishing,
heart-healing, 
boundary-fortifying 
gift from Alison Cook
(if you’ve had a heart-to-heart
with me in the past two years,
you know how much I loved 
‘Boundaries for the Soul’). 

As an enneagram 2 who was raised 
in the church, this book was a timely
and liberating read. Pure balm for the 
weary, recovering-people-pleaser soul. 

I am beyond grateful for the wisdom, 
compassion + experience that Alison 
brings to all she shares (and it was
such an honor to be on her launch 
team for this beautiful new book).

Need a survival guide for your growth
and healing journey? Here you go! ✌🏼

“Over the years, I have come to realize that t “Over the years, 
I have come to realize that 
the greatest trap in our life is not 
success, popularity, or power, 
but self-rejection.”
 :: Henri Nouwen

Somewhere along the journey of 
life, we start to believe the lie that - 
despite being made in the very image 
of a good and beautiful God - who we 
are is inherently bad and broken, and 
we learn to cover that deep sense 
of inadequacy (and the shame that 
accompanies it) with performance.

Because our visceral 
human response to 
‘bad + broken’ is 
‘reject + conceal’.

We think it’s the rejection of others
that cuts us to the core, but the truth
is…most of us walk around wounded 
by a constant and unrelenting sense 
of self-rejection and self-loathing.

Want to know why we feverishly seek 
out the approval and validation of others?
Why we desperately want others to like us?

Because we’re out of touch with our
inherent value and worth, and we’re
not sure that we even like ourselves.

We resent our weakness,
and abandon ourselves.

/ / /

But this good + beautiful God of ours…
He is drawn to our weakness like a
moth to a flame, swooping in to
bring strength and grace.

Paul writes in Corinthians 12:9 that 
he learned to delight in his weakness 
because it was when he was week that
“His strength is perfected in me”. 

Or, as the Passion Translation so 
stunningly puts it, “my weakness 
becomes a portal to God’s power”.

Precious ones, we can shun our tender
still-in-process places, pretend to have 
it all together, and hustle for our worth…
OR we can drop the masks, offer kindness 
and curiosity to our hurting, broken parts,
and learn to live fully seen and known.

But we can’t have both.

And yes, it’s scary.

Today may we choose
…grace over perfectionism
…curiosity over shame
…acceptance over rejection
…gentleness over judgement
…wholeness over pretense

You are loved.

"Faith isn't the ability to believe long + far i "Faith isn't the ability

Day 15 | Beach Day + Travel Prep We fly out late Day 15 | Beach Day + Travel Prep

We fly out late tomorrow evening so today
has been a lazy day of laundry, laying in the
sun, a petshop visit (where Aiden fell in love 
with a cute rat + I discovered zebra finches), 
an impromptu stop for bubble tea + stuffed crepes [oh my word, were these delicious!!],
shopping [I found the best, comfiest - Joe
would argue ‘ugliest’ - romper at the thrift
store that I can’t wait to wear on our long
journey home], and Aiden is currently off
doing his thing: fishing right from the pier.
