January 2016 Dinner Ideas Part 3

That was some blizzard DC got hit with!  Not sure about how your experience at the grocery store was before the storm, but mine was painless because I bought my weekly groceries last Sunday!  Today Giant had all of the meat, and some of the produce we needed when we ventured out.  Now, the only painful part of grocery shopping this week will be a trip to Trader Joe’s tomorrow during lunch.  

I changed up the weeknight dinner menus this week to include two chicken dishes and one less red meat. Hope you find it a bit healthier.  For everyone eating clean, staying sober or sticking to another food resolution, I hope you are staying strong through both the blizzard and the end of the month!
