What I’ve Been Nomming Lately // December 21, 2014 Edition

Are you ready for my final “What I’ve Been Nomming Lately” post of the year!?

This year I’ve transitioned from posting these on a weekly basis to a bi-weekly basis. It’s not always easy remembering everything I’ve had for dinner over the last two weeks, but I generally keep track in an Excel spreadsheet that I update each week with my planned menu and grocery list. (Yes… I’m sometimes insanely organized about some things. It’s just my way.) I find it handy to reference these posts throughout the year when seeking inspiration for my weekly meal plans, and hope you’ve enjoyed viewing the posts as well!
