Haven't listened to the podcast yet but wanted to say that I love SAVING DINNER.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to listen to your latest podcast - especially what you have to say about Saving Dinner. I've heard about the book through Fly Lady, but haven't sprung for the menu planning. :-)
ReplyDeletehi! thanks for sharing your tips on menu planning, I am really bad at that. I end up going to the store way too many times a week and have been meaning to plan menus. I really like your idea about the index cards...I am definitely going to do that. Also wanted to say that I am #25 on the waiting list for Home Front at my library! thanks for the great podcasts you do :)
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Tanesha, what a lovely podcast. I loved your book reviews so much. I also would like to think that someday I won't be stopping at the market around the corner from my house (literally) three times/week. I am going to try the thread nets, too. My current method only works sometimes!
