You know…when I started this meal plan series, I didn’t really think about how quickly I would go through my recipes! It looks like I’ll be needing to publish a lot more to keep up with this. How are you liking this series so far? I hope it inspires you to get cooking and save a little money. I’ll be stuck in a self-quarantine for two weeks starting next Tuesday, so I’m looking forward to some creative meals in the kitchen to keep me occupied. Here’s what we’re cooking this week.
