  1. Thanks Crystal !! I was just talking to my family about needing to cut back on the food shopping and asking them about meal ideas for saving money. I knew that I needed to plan ahead better then I had been doing and now with your one month menu, you have helped alot !! Sometimes I just can't think of ideas for supper and now with your list and your great recipes, I am off to a great start !!

    Thank you so much for doing this!

  4. Many of your menu plans are similar to the way I fed my family when they were growing up. These days, I am more concerned about limiting my carbohydrates. My children are grown and on their own; therefore, I can afford to make some necessary changes needed for my aging heart. Those large pot meals are way more than my husband and I could possibly eat. I am cooking for only two now.

    Keep up the great work!

  5. Crystal... I am making your chili today. I only have an hour left for the beans to be done but there still seems to be A LOT of water. am I supposed to drain it first or just mix everything together???

  6. Heather, You can drain the water (saving some of it to add back) , add the spices and hamburger and then add back any amount of the water if you want to, to get a consistency that you like..

  8. Crystal,
    I have been a lurker on your blog for a while, even on the other site - I truly enjoy everything on it. And I'm origianlly a Washingtonian (Yakima Valley). :) I have a question about your yummy pinto beans...is there a way to modify this to be done in a crock-pot/slow cooker? So it's cooking all day and done when I get home from work type thing?
