Thanks for faithfully hosting MPM. It’s a great resource and also fun!

I like the KEY idea, although it’s a tough fit for those of us who are generally frugal, occasionally use the slow cooker, sometimes do freezer cooking, etc. I’d also like to see a KEY for MPM posts that include recipes or recipe links.

I made the baked spaghetti last night and the whole family loved it. Thanks for a great recipe. I passed it on to family and friends.

I’m not sure how to categorize our menus. We do eat frugally, I post what I’m using from our pantry, freezer and fridge, we eat meatless for religious reasons at least twice a week and we try to eat more in the Nourishing Traditions way, though not strictly holding to every part of the book/diet. We eat just about everything from scratch, from pastured meat and raw dairy and locally grown as much as we can. Perhaps someone else will have an idea for folks like me.

Love the Key idea. I, like many of your readers, need to get more organized with my weekly menu. Yes, I have lots of great kid-friendly recipes at my fingertips, but I love getting new ideas. I am also constantly amazed at the growing number of people following gluten-free diets (one reason I just created a few new recipes using quinoa … which I really like). Happy New Year!

I still consider myself a newbie at this as my husband has been out of town so much that most my dinners have consisted of spinach salad. Hey, it’s cheap and healthy. However, reality is about to set back in with cooking, so THANKS so much for such an informative resource. Love the key idea as well. I’ll be checking out the low fat ones for sure. :)

I love the prepared key idea! Usually I do something like that when I post my link but of course, this time I didn’t. Ahhh well, I think that’s a great idea. It’s so good to be back. :)

I don’t stick to any kind of menu, but it’s one of my New Years resolutions to get back into meal planning

I think having a key sounds like a great idea and will definitely help with inspiration! Thanks for hosting such an organized site.

Your santa pancake turned out so cute! :) We had pancakes on Christmas morning, and I mixed the ingredients up the night before (dry ingredients & wet ingredients separate), and then I just had to combine them quickly on Christmas morning, which was really great with excited/impatient kiddos! :)
