Weekly menu plan ideas for dinner during this busy season. Brought to you by family food bloggers.

Hello Friends! I hope this week finds you well. This week I have been busy with holiday shopping, Christmas crafting and gift wrapping. If you follow me on Instagram, you can see some of my gift-giving activities in my IG stories. This time of year I am very mindful of our household budget because we tend to blow it a little around the holidays.  I love finding ways to give a meaningful gift, while still staying within budget.

Speaking of budget, these dinner ideas are easy on your wallet. Grocery bills tend to climb this time of year too, and planning ahead really does save money. So here it is…
