It’s been one of those weeks, guys, and I know I didn’t get to the normal midweek meal planning post — So here is a placeholder to talk about what your week of meals held, share, recipes, and otherwise discuss meals around this week’s grocery deals & stockpile items.
Last Sunday we made a turkey to get it out of the freezer, so our week has basically involved variations on that theme. Turkey, turkey sandwiches, turkey sausage soup, sandwiches and salad, sandwiches and soup… oh, and I had turkey quesadillas for lunch today. 😉
Your turn
How’s your week of meal planning going? Are you cooking mostly out of your pantry, or are you taking advantage of this week’s grocery sales? Let’s inspire each other! And if you’re looking for additional inspiration, read all the Midweek Meal Planning posts (and others’ comments) here.

Not much of planning going on over here :-( although I have a little time this weekend so I am going to make some chili and maybe some soup and make extra to freeze and the turkey is a good idea. I think I have one buried in my freezer!

Well, tonight was grilled cheese, strawberries, and spinach salad -- not fancy, but not carryout, so we'll call it a win. Don't ask me about tomorrow yet :)
