The Heathen Homemaker’s Weekly Meal Plan Week 8: 09/06/15 – 09/12/15 Last week was a someone-inspire-me-please kind of week, so I consulted the Pinterest board my friend Leah at The Frugal South and I collaborate on, and also rediscovered some old favorites. This week I’m feeling cheap. Like, really cheap. Like, OMG-The-Credit-Card-Bill-Was-How-Much-? cheap. So we’re going bargain…

I kept up with my menu plan but not so much the “just eat less” part.

Marinated Fish Tacos
Marinated Fish Tacos Totally full disclosure. I did not take this photo. These are someone elses’s delicious fish tacos. I have no clue how to take a picture of marinated fish tacos that is even remotely appealing.

The Heathen Homemaker’s Weekly Meal Plan Week 6: 08/23/15 – 08/29/15 Last week was a busy, week-school-starts sort of week, so I was definitely trying to K.I.S.S. it. This week is a My-Fat-Ass-Can’t-Fit-Into-Any-Of-My-Winter-Clothes-So-I’d-Better-Lose-Some-Weight-Soon kind of week. My general cooking philosophy is to concentrate on using whole foods, which is the fancy-pants way of saying that I cook mostly…

Super Simple Cuban-ish Ropa Vieja
I’m quite sure this version of ropa vieja would make any Cuban Cook gasp for breath and run screaming out of the room, but it’s close enough to make me happy when I need an easy fix. Traditionally you use flank steak and shred it after some long, slow cooking in a pot. Carne picada,…

The Heathen Homemaker’s Weekly Meal Plan – Week 3
The Heathen Homemaker’s Weekly Meal Plan 08/02/15 Last week was a shop-from-the-pantry sort of week. This week is a try-not-to-have-leftovers sort of week because we’re not going to be around to eat at the house this coming weekend. We’re having a big (20+ people) family cookout on Thursday, so I am also not in the mood for…

The Heathen Homemaker’s Weekly Meal Plan 07/26/15 Last week was a slow-cooker sort of week. This week is a shop-from-the-pantry sort of week.
