Looking back over my bio, I realized it was rather out of date. I'm going through a bunch of transition stuff right now, so I plan on waiting a little while for the transition to complete before actually updating my bio. If you want to get to know more about me, feel free to read my journal or PM me. :)

1 Month Meal plans???
Here are two sites that might be useful for you. Eating seasonally means fresher and usually cheaper produce.

Seasonal eating resource
Another seasonal eating resource

Also if you need recipe ideas, check out the recipes on this site. I also like Allrecipes and Yummly (This one gives you the ability to screen results by ingredient, nutritional information, and other dietary restrictions, among other criteria.)

I agree with Hoser that weekly is good to start with. Good luck. Very Happy

Shopping Cart Porn Redux -- Cooking

Oh no, LOL. Razz

Everything sounds great. Thanks for sharing. I may want to try that saag paneer dish myself. It looks really good.

ALWAYS hungry!
Ozzie, cottage cheese is a great no cooking needed protein source. So is canned tuna. It may take some adjustment, but I think the egg suggestion is a good one just because they are so much cheaper than other protein sources.

Shopping Cart Porn
Nice pic Hoser! My husband and I try to shop with that same principle- produce and meat/dairy, not artificial stuff, or breads/grains. Generally we shop at Costco once a month (and maybe the local supermarket or asian market biweekly), so a picture of the cart wouldn't be as aesthetically pleasing as your photo. Our big purchases besides the produce are cottage cheese, eggs, poultry sausage, fish, boneless, skinless chicken and ground turkey. It's not uncommon for us to go through 180+ eggs and 8 3lb tubs of cottage cheese each month. (Though I cook for a household of 4.)

I can only imagine how hard your situation is, though if it's any consolation your children's performance is not necessarily a reflection on your parenting prowess. You could be the perfect mom and still have girls in the same predicament they are in because they ultimately have to make their own choices- which might be poor ones in spite of better instruction. Things may not improve as quickly as you would want, but you are not alone and there are definitely people who care and are willing to listen here for you.
