From my dark kitchen, through the window, I can see unrelenting rain being soaked up by my water-laden lawn. Weekly meal planning is without a doubt one of those activities whereby putting aside a little time to sit ...

Salmon And Sweet Potato Fish Cakes Recipe
Here's a super simple salmon and sweet potato fish cakes recipe that has rescued me from my non-existent meal-planning this week. Monday is the day when the internet comes alive with posts and tags about Meal Plan Monday. I don't do a Meal Plan Monday post. I don't meal plan on a Monday, but on a Friday.

Adapting The Paleo Diet For A Family
It's that time of year where we may be feeling motivated to take control of our diets. If you've packed on a few extra pounds toward the end of the year, then January is the perfect month to make those changes.

It's the 1st of the month and 1st of the year. It's also a Friday. Food Waste Friday has been a little sporadic lately here at the blog.

Meal Planning – As Simple As Salad
We're in a routine here at Chez Wright. Meal-planning is a must. (Learn how I meal-plan here) Meal planning tends to happen Thursday night or Friday morning as part of my No Waste Tastes Great routine. The meal plan is displayed for all to see on the kitchen board. Rarely do I plan the same meals each week (although I concede this may make life ...
Food Waste Friday / How This Will Go No-One Knows!
Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born. I started participating in October ...
