Midweek meal planning week of 12/11/15

midweek-meal-planning

Welcome back to Midweek Meal Planning for the week of 12/11/15! It’s more traditional to meal plan on the weekend, but since our Chicago grocery deals mostly flip on Wednesdays and since midweek is when many of us start running out of steam, we buck the trend here. Or, you know, post on Friday because of the holidaycrazy… I’m about to run to Junior High Guy’s winter concert here, but thought I’d get this week’s post going for you first. 🙂
