I had the HARDEST time coming up with a meal plan for this week. Apparently after Thanksgiving, I am completely unable to think of meals that don’t involve turkey, mashed potatoes, and broccoli casserole with gobs of cheese and butter.
Which is why I reeeeealllly had to come up with some good meals for this week. Is falling into a deep depression after Thanksgiving a thing? Thankfully I have some leftover cranberry sauce in my fridge still. Only 3.5 weeks until Christmas dinner!
I didn’t plan anything for Saturday because it was a weird day – and well, I didn’t shop until Sunday!
Sunday – roasted veggies, leftover turkey (total bust – read here why)
Monday – one pan mexican quinoa
Tuesday – stuffed pepper skillet (so I can get that recipe to you!)
Wednesday – white bean and asparagus pasta with pesto
Thursday – quesadillas with black beans & spinach, pico de gallo (we eat these a lot… can you tell?)
Friday – pizza
Girls’ Lunches
Monday – veggie burger, broccoli, bread with butter, pomegranate arils
Tuesday – deli turkey, cheese, avocado, grapes
Wednesday – grilled cheese, peas, applesauce
Thursday – peanut butter & jelly, yogurt, orange slices
Friday – deli turkey, cheese, bread with butter, frozen blueberries
What’s on everyone else’s menus this week after the holiday?

i’m still eating thanksgiving leftovers…. lol
atta girl!
Ohhh I’m excited for the stuffed pepper skillet recipe!!
Thanks so much! What kind of bread do you use or do you always make your own?
For me, I usually buy the big commercial loaf of Udi’s gluten free from Costco. I used to make my own bread all the time but I got out of the habit of doing that!
Yummm! I am planning on making that Mexican Quinoa this week too! And I’m with you - I have the hardest time coming up with meals after holidays!
Glad it’s not just me!
what kind of bread do you use for your girls? my 13 month is so fickle lately.
I typically use a whole wheat bread that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup and minimal ingredients!
I need you to plan Lucas’s meals for me as well, please and thank you
Sure - copy and paste that plan into your plan.
