We are two weeks in to this new year and I know that most of us have not done everything “exactly as we think we should” so it’s time for True Confessions – Two Weeks In. So if you have done EVERYTHING EXACTLY THE WAY YOU PLANNED over the past two weeks just kindly move along, […]

As difficult as it is to believe, Thanksgiving is now less than two weeks away for those of us here in the U.S. How is that even possible?! This year has just flown by it seems. Given it’s so close, it’s definitely time to start thinking about Thanksgiving cooking and menu planning. For those of […]
It hasn’t really been very wintry here in west/central Texas this year, but nonetheless, I still LOVE soup in the winter time! This week I’m going to give you 5 tasty soups to try. Make one or make them all. Double the recipe and freeze some for later. Soups are great! Corn, Bacon, And Potato […]

Well that’s convenient because if you look below, there a mess of healthy recipes and a grocery list. I know you have better things to […]

This week’s menu plan is brought to us by Jen from Listen.Learn.Love.Mend. If you’re interested in menu planning for the Sisterhood, give us a shout in the comments! We love guest menu planners!

In honor of the new PointsPlus 2012 program update rolling out this week from Weight Watchers (learn even more about the changes here from the CEO), we thought this would be a great time to share a Weight Watchers menu as part of our on-going Shrinking Menu Planning series. I don’t think it’s any secret […]
Good morning! How was your Thanksgiving? Are you feeling stuffed and ready to settle back into your routine? Yes? These recipes will help you get rid of that post-Thanksgiving bloat {and get rid of some of those leftovers taking up space in your fridge}! MONDAY: Turkey soup! Instead of the half-and-half, try a lighter cream! […]

These are recipes we’ve featured here at the Sisterhood in years past – can you believe it’s almost our THREE year Shrinkaversary!? Yes, […]
I have to be honest, I’m not very good at menu planning every week. The two times I have done since we started this segment at Shrinking Jeans have been awesome weeks of eating at our house. All the other weeks that I have not done it have still been yummy weeks of eating but […]

This week’s menu plan includes recipes with short ingredient lists (which I adore) promising to pack a huge flavor punch! If you have kids, they’ll probably adore the Ravio-sange, and I have a feeling the Apple Crockpot Pork Chops will be a huge hit as well! If you plan your menu out and post it […]
