    Just discovered your blog & I love it! As a working mother of 3 daughters in a million activities, menu-planning is the only way to survive most weeks! Thanks for lots of new ideas!

  6. Hello. I watched your program today and as a result, am looking for the ham recipes. The ham looked delicious but cannot find recipes. Thanks. Eileen.

    I am so excited about the recipes. I’m trying to pull sugar and white flour from our diets (me, husband and four munchkins) and found some great ideas. I love the spinach pasta idea. thanks

    What a wonderful idea. I am a stay at home mom of 17 years. 2 boys and and a husband who works lots of hours and 2 children that eat different things ( one no gluten or dairy and one who is picky), I am left in a food prep nightmare. I was excited to view your site and will be looking forward to trying some of your ideas. A menu for the week sounds wonderful. I have not been able to organize my house to that extent and 2009 is the year to organize EVERYTHING>

    WOW! I am soooo glad I found your website. I have been in a taco and spaghetti for dinner rut and my family is beginning to groan when they sit down at the table these days. I love your great ideas and am looking forward to trying your lime and honey salmon and malibu melts this week. 🙂

    Have been wanting to plan meals for years but wasn’t brave enough until now (it was having the 3rd baby that finally made me desperate enough to try it). I searched all over meal-planning sites and settled on your blog. I love these recipes and have been having so much fun trying them out. We’re now on week 4 and going strong! My husband and kids thank you 🙂

    Hi Jane- I just wanted to thank you for sharing this amazing blog! I stumbled onto your site 2 weeks ago while searching for recipes and now I’m a daily visitor 🙂 We have just started meal planning since finding your site and are in the process of trying out all your recipes to form our own go-to favorites! I have been married for a year and a half and two months ago my husband accepted a job promotion that moved us from our friends and family in Oregon down to Tucson, AZ. We’ve decided to spend some of our new found free time to establish habits that were eluding us in our fast paced worlds back home-instead of always eating out I’m trying to plan meals and try out new recipes! (yay!) I instantly fell in love with your blog because it feels so comfortable and realistic! I laugh at your commentary and my husband and I have devoured each of the recipes I’ve tackled so far 🙂 (Island Pork and coconut sticky rice and stuffed peppers are our new favorite foods 😉 Thanks for sharing your world and your recipes!
