November 2015 Dinner Ideas Part 1

Thanks for checking out my blog!  I want to use this space to share ideas for weeknight dinner recipes, and compile a grocery list to make your weekly grocery shopping easier.  As a working professional, I know it is difficult to find time to research a variety of quick, seasonal and healthy(ish) recipes to make on weeknights.

Please let me know if you make any of the recipes featured below, and if the grocery list saved you any time this week!
