Here’s a picture preview of one of the first simple recipes I’ll share in our upcoming Real Food Dollar Menu series. Spanish rice is one of our favorite meals. Most of it comes from throwing leftovers together. Easy and inexpensive! Recipe coming this week. (It’s a great way to use up a little leftover turkey!)
We have a full week ahead of us! Of course, with Thanksgiving coming, all of you likely have a full week too. I’m praying for peace and calm for all of us as we prepare food and enjoy loved ones.
Before the festivities begin, we will be hosting High School Huddle tonight, then the YC Ladies’ Basketball Team on Tuesday. You may notice a very similar menu on both nights. I figure our family might get sick of it, but Mama’s got to keep things simple in order to pull this off. Two big meals – one exact menu plan. It works for me. ;)
