As of today, kids are off school and our Christmas vacation begins.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been hitting the drive through a LOT lately amidst appointments, concerts, events, practices and holiday shopping.

Offsetting the amount of golden crispy breading I’ve consumed, this week’s meals are simple and full of veggies, color, and flavor.

Will we get to making all 5? Not a chance. But there’s always the weekend and next week. (***We will be taking a week off from meal plans and sending out the 1st one for 2026 on Sat Jan 3rd.)

Here’s the grocery list for this week.

Now on to this week’s meals!

Monday: Ground Beef Lo Mein

Our kids will eat noodles, and this gives us a vehicle to sneak in meat and stir fried veggies. Win-win.
