I’m back! Thank you for your patience as I took some time off the enjoy and adjust to baby #7. Things have gone well for the most part, but I definitely needed the break to get back into the swing of life.
Who else cannot believe that it is (almost) November already? Wasn’t it just summer and here we are rolling into Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving… I love November for Thanksgiving! It is so fun to gather with family and friends, enjoy great food and just spend time together.
Some years I’ve made the whole meal and other years I just contribute a few things. We always eat our Thanksgiving meal around lunch time, so you’ll notice on the night of Thanksgiving that we’re having Thanksgiving meal leftovers for dinner that night. Mmmm….I love those leftovers.
For the month of November, I’ll be using two cookbooks – Trim Healthy Table and the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. I also have quite a few online recipes mixed in as well.
In addition to this month of dinner meals, each Monday I come out with a full meal plan for the week. By full meal plan, I mean that I plan out all meals, snacks and drinks.
All of these meal plans are FREE, printable and come with a printable shopping list too. If you’d like to see some samples of my full meal plans, you can find them here.
This meal plan covers five weeks. I find that it helps me to have five full weeks planned out, that way if I don’t get my meal plan done before the first of the month I have a couple of days of leeway in there. Although having a blog is usually the motivation I need to get it done on time. 
***I have a family of 8 so these meals all serve at least 8. Many of the meals leave leftovers even for my size family.***
