Not every meal needs to be fancy with 25 ingredients.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422760827883599396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-79856561224630046692018-05-05T17:48:38.388-05:002018-05-05T17:48:38.388-05:00So inspiring!

I just started tracking expenses this May (in everything). <br /><br />I love the concept of humble meals but I'm afraid I adore eating so much that I don't do them very often - which would be a good discipline for me, to use that time for other things.<br /><br />We don't waste a lot of food, but I don't force my kids to finish their plates if they say they're full. It does go in the compost bucket, which benefits our garden and flowers. I'm pretty careful with menu planning, I guess, and that guides what I buy and what we eat. We almost always have leftovers in the fridge and that is lunch. So I don't buy "lunch" foods. We also only eat meat 1-2x a week, which allows me to buy the local grassfed meat, which supports our values.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-2563619427893640362018-05-03T10:30:32.537-05:002018-05-03T10:30:32.537-05:00I love everything about this post.

As someone who cooks/plans and shops for the whole family as well as struggles food on a daily basis it is life giving to think of humble meals and how much energy and money it actually saves plus what a good thing to practice.<br /><br />Thank you for always sharing such fun/practical/easy steps in living a more intentional life!Whitney Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084674539687049430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-139851318819218932018-05-02T21:45:40.359-05:002018-05-02T21:45:40.359-05:00I think you're right on with the humble meals....I think you're right on with the humble meals. I don't implement that nearly as often as I should (and we eat out/pick up wayyyy too much) but last night we had simple scrambled egg sandwiches...and everyone loved it.

And I love the idea of humble meals. We often grab cheese or scrambled eggs and love them. I think these meals mean we enjoy our nicer meals more.<br />Lynn Beck Brallierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980014411603552746noreply@blogger.com
