Meg Goes Nom Nom

Yikes, I am getting behind in my blogging! Probably because I have been having a little too much fun this past week!

Last Week:

Dinner Meal Plan for November 17-23:

• Saturday: Pizza! Followed by a last minute decision to hit up The Bang! with Five Cent Femme and partake in the Once Upon A Time theme.

I busted out my inner Alien Sparkle Princess for the occasion. Other typical J&M Corp. (our duo’s nickname, from high school) nonsense ensued, as one might expect.

• Sunday: Cran-Turkey Burgers with Butternut Squash <- To get in the Thanksgiving spirit!

• Monday: Cannellini & Sausage Soup

• Tuesday: Polenta Rounds with Sausage Ragout, Salad with Avocado

• Wednesday: Whole Foods Hot Bar and Wine Bar! I had some coconut curry tofu, kale salad, braised greens, mashed sweet potatoes and a dumpling with a glass of rosé.

Bar Whole Foods was followed by partaking in what people like to call “the biggest bar night of the year,” spent on Main Street in Ann Arbor with Five Star SexiMexy and a couple other lovelies. Here we are in the lower level of Lena.

• Thursday: Thanksgiving!

• Friday: Thanksgiving leftovers, of course. The best!
