Meal Plan + Grocery List Dec 8
Phew! This feels like the biggest grocery haul in a long time. Maybe it’s because of Thanksgiving, maybe it’s because our garden is finally too snowy to harvest. Whatever the case, this week is a fun one for meals! My husband had a few recipe requests and we’ve got a couple of old favorites too. I did this shopping on Tuesday, so I’ll list these in order of “Days”. Prior to this, Travis had grilled up a bunch of chicken breasts that I got on special over the weekend. I can use that to fill in protein since I’m to avoid red meat.Edit

Hopefully this gives you some ideas! It can be a pain to cook separately, but it’s always worth it for me. When we go out or eat at others houses, I worry about the bare minimum (no chocolate, dairy, tomatoes, red meat or onion when possible).
