Thanksgiving {Sprouts and Rolls}
December, really? UGH! Flash back to Thanksgiving, a whole week ago… We enjoyed a delicious dinner at my sister’s house with her family and our friends. It was fun and we tried a menu that was not so traditional. The turkey was grilled on the grill and was so juicy. The resulting gravy was smokey…

I definitely need to tackle the meal plan more efficiently this week. I easily used all the spinach last week by making a cheesy spinach…
