21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List {23} Comfort Food Favorites

Confession # 122 – As I write this post, I am so sick with worry for my friends and family in Florida.  The helpless feeling from watching images and news coverage of Hurricane Harvey last month is back and it’s hard not to been totally consumed by it all.

The confession part?  I feel strange posting about food at a time like this, with people displaced and waiting out the storm in shelters far away from their homes.  My heart is with my family and friends who are together, keeping us updated as the storm gets closer.

It’s a beautiful day out here, but I am glued to my TV and phone.

I debated whether I should share a meal plan or not for the week…normally I would have it done by now.  And I am still not even sure if this post will go live.

But I am writing it anyway.

Sunday is my best day on the blog…in the blogging world that means I get the most pageviews and the most ad revenue (aka how I keep this blog going).  Especially when I post a meal plan.  I don’t talk much about the business side of the blog unless I’m asked, but that’s the way it goes down.

If this post goes out today, I will be donating 100% of my ad revenue to charities associated with Hurricane Irma and the continued efforts for Hurricane Harvey.

It’s a start.  It’s something.  And I thank you for reading this and being a part of my efforts. 

If you are looking to help, but don’t know where to start, check out Charity Navigator. 

If you are reading this and need some inspiration for your week, this meal plan includes my favorite comfort food meals…like a warm hug to all of you who are worried and scared about what tomorrow will hold.   I hold you in my thoughts and prayers. <3
