21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List {1} Post Thanksgiving Week

Confession #102 – I’m a hot mess today.  Like more than usual.

First of all, I’ve been sick for a week.  A week!  I have no voice and a cold/cough that won’t quit.

Second, although I didn’t host Thanksgiving this year, I cooked up a whole meal for us anyway, hosted my lovely Aunt from Boston, and threw a party for my husband who turned 40 this weekend.

The wine.  The food.  The cough and cold medicine.

It’s all catching up to me and I don’t want to move, let alone grocery shop or meal plan.

In case anyone else is like me, I put together an easy dinner plan, using lots of the food I already have here in my house.  You know, so I can skip the shopping for at least a few days.

If you need some help getting back on track after the holiday, feel free to join me!  Here are the links to my dinners, followed by the groceries needed.

Enjoy!
