Weekly Meal Plan: December 1st-5th
The holiday whirlwind has officially begun, and if you’re anything like me, you’re still working through those Thanksgiving leftovers while trying to get back into your regular routine.
This week’s meal plan is designed to ease you back in gently. I’ve included a cozy chicken wild rice soup that’s perfect for using up leftover turkey (or you can grab a rotisserie chicken if you’re all turkey-ed out).
The rest of the week keeps things comforting and simple – think hearty beef stew, crispy naan pizzas, and a bright orange chicken stir-fry. Nothing too fussy, just good, satisfying dinners that won’t add stress to your already-busy December.
