Yes, I know. It’s November 6th. I had grand visions of getting this #MonthofMeals November menu up early, then I simply fell behind. Further, and further, and further. It’s crazy. I remember how it used to feel like days took forever. Remember what it was like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid? Now, months fly by. Seriously. Where is the friggin’ pause button?
Until I find it, I may or may not be able to get these up on the first of each month. But I sure will try. I’m so glad you all are getting inspired to cook for your family and have found some new recipes from fellow bloggers and healthy cooking magazines to add to your regular routine. Do you have a favorite new recipe that you found in our #MonthofMeals series? We’d love to hear it! I think my favorite from the last few months had to be the Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Risotto from Ezra Poundcake. Risotto is definitely a labor of love, but totally worth it, if you ask me.
As far as what you’ll find in this menu: I kept the calendar simple: a meal for every day. But below you’ll find an additional lunch idea, breakfast and entertaining menu for every week. Trust me, you won’t want to miss the Brussels Sprout Grilled Cheese dinner!!! Another of my favorites is the Caramelized Fall Orzo (at the beginning of the month), and I’m super excited to try Pork and Edamame Soup. I’m a sucker for ramen.
Download our monthly menu here: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4JhpgIGl5LZX1JLSkVzZlU4dEU/edit?usp=sharing) Then, simply print off the recipes all at once or week by week… however you prefer!
Happy November!

I’ve been deep down impressed with CBD gummies and like https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/cbd-sleep-gummies . They’re not not tasty but also incredibly available as a replacement for getting a commonplace dosage of CBD. I fellow-feeling a amour how tactful they are, making them accurate instead of when I’m on the go. I’ve ourselves noticed they steal me slacken and sleep mastery, specially after a stressful day. The consistent dosage in each gummy also takes the guesswork out of managing how much CBD I’m consuming. If you’re pensive of trying CBD, gummies are a monstrous opportunity—just be sure to buy from a trusted tag for the nicest results!
