The grape story had me in stitches. I’m not a mother, so one day I’m sure I’ll appreciate it.

As I’ve been pondering ways to cut back and build my emergency fund, I know that the grocery store is one of those places where I spend too much. I sometimes come up with recipes that require a lot of ingredients or expensive ingredients.

I’m going to make some meal cards and in addition to listing the ingredients, I think I’m going to add their prices too. I need to eat simpler and cheaper.

I really like this idea. It is just my husband and I now, but we still have a hard time deciding what is for dinner.

My uncle always said that we had to eat a little dirt before we die. I always kept that in mind with my son.

Girl, you are so sweet! Thanks for commenting on my post at Kingdom First Mom.

THIS is a fabulous idea! I LOVE it. It is so simple; and like you said, it “does the thinking for you.”

Awesome.

And, I LOVE the grape story. I have chased down many a snack (or pacifier!), myself, only to wipe it off and hand it back to the sad/screaming/bloody (giggle) child. It’s just easier that way.

This is a really great idea. Now that I am working I feel like my brain is fried afterward. Having a cheat sheet like this would make it a lot easier to get into the kitchen as soon as I got home.

OK I would LOVE to hear how you make shepherd’s pie (even though you don’t have a recipe). I’ve been wanting to try it, but can’t find a good recipe.
P.S. HILARIOUS story about the grape!

This is a brilliant idea! I have a hard time remembering which meals are my family’s favorites and it takes forever to search through my massive collection of recipes.

I’ve been trying to do more meal-planning lately, and cards like this would be a great help. Thanks for the idea.

Also — I love the story about the grape; I’d have done the same thing.
