After that epically boring list yesterday, I am going to cut right to the chase. Today was day four. It is 8:18 PM and everyone in my house is in bed, including my exhausted husband. (Starting school is hard on teachers too.) So, there is no menu plan happening. Here is your update. I bought…Continue reading Short and sweet
Day 3: What’s in Your Pantry?
Before I make a meal plan for the $500 month, I’m going to inventory everything we have. EVERYTHING. (I will attempt to sprinkle in humor, so it won’t be as boring as reading the list of everything in someone’s pantry–since that is what it is.) First, I have to say two things. Oh how the…Continue reading Day 3: What’s in Your Pantry?
Poor + Organic = Poorganic?
First, a few clarifying details about the $500 month just for those of you who are curious or are trying a similar thing. There are five people in our family. We have three children, ages 7, 5, and 3. We have no food allergies or intolerances. We DO have some SMALL stockpile of foods, so…Continue reading Poor + Organic = Poorganic?
The $500 month
Eating poorganically, couponing, and being cheapy-McGreepy are BACK ON, folks. This month I am going to try to return to a more poorganic diet and budget after seriously slacking over the summer. We are going to TRY to feed and diaper and consume all our consumables this month for $500. (eeek! I’m a little scared.)…Continue reading The $500 month
7 for the Good Girl
Summer and the Summer of 7 are drawing to a close for me, and I have to say, I’m glad. It was a fabulous summer. It went fast. It went slow. We traveled busily. We stayed home in jammies till noon watching Phineas and Ferb. We walked to local grocery stores; we drove to thrift…Continue reading 7 for the Good Girl
What is “Poorganic” food?
Probably the number one thing I have had to clarify since making up the word “poorganic” is what it does and DOESN’T mean. In this final Eating Poorganically rerun from August 2011, I explain some of the criteria I use to determine whether or not food is “poorganic.” For the most part, these flexible criteria…Continue reading What is “Poorganic” food?
Get Sad Poorganic Pig
I’m back from vacation, but I’ve decided to continue with a few more Eating Poorganically re-runs from last fall when real foods were new and fun and I hadn’t just spent a week eating like Paula Dean. (Also, the quantity of laundry is SO great and my children are SO needy and I am SO…Continue reading Get Sad Poorganic Pig
Real Food Good Intentions
Since I’m still on glorious vacation (celebrating early my 10 year anniversary coming up in October), I’m going to post my SECOND EVER Eating Poorganically post wherein I laid out some of my initial ideas about this journey. This post was written a year ago in August 2011. I did post some updates after four…Continue reading Real Food Good Intentions
Way Back When
As promised I’m devoting this week to posting to Eating Poorganically posts from the VERY beginning. This is the very first post I ever wrote about real foods from August 3rd of 2011 when this blog was still called The Low Ryder. How much do you think we’ve changed in just one year’s time. ***********************************…Continue reading Way Back When
The Shut-Up Katrina Project
Okay, right off the bat, if you follow The Poorganic Life for the real food advice, do not despair. Since I’m going on vacation FOR FIVE KID FREE DAYS with my hot husband (WHOOT-WOOT), I’ve decided to rerun some of my very first Eating Poorganically posts from a year ago when we first started this…Continue reading The Shut-Up Katrina Project
