21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List {30} Fast and Simple

This 21 Day Fix Meal Plan will keep you organized and on plan as the holidays approach! 

Omg, you guys.  It’s the freaking middle of December.   And this is my first post of the month.  

I kinda tricked myself into thinking my Zuppa Toscana was posted in early December.

But nope.

That was definitely still November.  And around that time I was feeling pretty good about December and my mind was swirling with recipe ideas to share…our decorations were already up…and I had already started shopping.

Oh the potential. 

But then December actually hit and fast forward to today and I have no idea how we got here.  The last couple of weeks have been a blur…but as I sit here and reflect…we have had some great times with our family and some major wins (including a very successful overnight trip to Long Island…the first since Max’s diagnosis).  We have come such a long way since last year at this time, so I guess I can overlook the fact that I kinda sucked as a blogger this month.

Now the real stress of the season is beginning as I all of a sudden feel like I have so much to do, but there is still a full week of work and school left before Christmas, so to try to stay as organized as possible, I am going to make (and stick) to a meal plan.  I swear when my food is planned, everything else seems to feel less stressful.

These are some of the quickest and easiest meals on the blog, because ain’t nobody got time for anything these days, but they are also super yummy and will keep you in your skinny jeans heading into the holiday weekend!

Enjoy!
