Menu Plan Monday, 11/26

The Thanksgiving feast has been cooked and consumed and the leftovers loved. The last of the turkey turned into a vitamin-packed soup for my husband and son who have been down for a couple of days with a cold/flu bug. Hopefully, the few days of rest and the soup, tea, and other liquids they consumed will have my boys up and about and feeling better soon. I think they’re running out of movies to fall asleep to!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to think of Christmas. Thankfully, the biggest chunk of my Christmas shopping is done. I still have a little canning to do and some wine that needs bottling to give as gifts for friends. I have a two-day break in my work schedule this week, so maybe I’ll be able to get it done, along with a couple of afghans that I’m crocheting. I recently learned that I can crochet while pedaling my exercise bike. That newly discovered talent will help me get my projects done without skimping on exercise!

Anyway, I pray you have a blessed week with less stress because you created a menu plan!
