Menu Plan Monday 10/17-23

After a fun-filled trip to Chicago, it is wonderful to be back in our cozy apartment. I love traveling, but there is just something about the familiarity of your own home and kitchen. I missed cooking our own meals and sleeping in our own bed. But, more on the trip in a different post!

Today is week four of the meal planning challenge at Keeper of the Home and I am ready! I have actually been trying to stay two weeks out in our meal planning lately and have done pretty well with this. We have an extremely full freezer, so meals this week and next are capitalizing on that. I love when I can do that because it makes for an easy peasy grocery shopping trip! Without further ado, here is the Storms family menu plan for this week.
