Happy December everybody! Getting back into the sw

Happy December everybody! Getting back into the swing of things after Thanksgiving and before Christmas means that I am very consciously aware of my budget. Here are a few frugal meals that will help you stay on on top of your grocery budget and focus on your Christmas festivities! #mealplan #mealplanning #frugalmeals

My oldest daughter is 16 and she usually has her schedule booked solid. Needless to say, we don’t get a lot of moments like this together these days. It was so nice to slow down and connect this evening. Pot stickers are by no means a quick and easy meal but it was a labor of love ❤️

Here is a beautiful Roast Chicken Recipe. I know most of you will likely be roasting a gorgeous turkey in just a couple days. This method works well for either bird!
There is just something about coming home to a beautifully roasted chicken and all its sides. The smell is amazing as it fills every corner of your home. This chicken is tender and juicy and so easy to prepare. I make a roast chicken once a month and not only do we get to enjoy the leftovers as Chicken & Veggie Soup or Chicken Sandwiches but I always use the bones to make a huge pot of nourishing bone broth. So many meals and uses out of one chicken, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
1 3-4 lbs whole chicken giblets removed
2 tbsp butter melted
1 tbsp olive oil
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp Herbs Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano
1 lemon halved
5 cloves garlic
1 large Onion quartered
½ cup white wine optional
For the Chicken
Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any giblets from the cavity.
Season the Chicken: Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
Butter & Herbs: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, and herbs. Using your fingers, separate the skin from the meat of the chicken. This is where you are going to put the majority of your butter & herb mixture. Be sure to put some on top of the skin as well, this will help to develop a crispy, brown crust.
Roast the Chicken: Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan or a 9 x 13 baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze the lemon over the chicken. Then place the lemon, quartered onion, and any leftover herbs into the pan alongside your chicken. Optional, you can add ½ cup of white wine to the pan to baste with during the roasting process.
Roast: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F.
Rest and Carve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

It’s Thanksgiving week!! This meal plan factors in

It’s Thanksgiving week!! This meal plan factors in the feast you will likely be having and hopefully gives you a few ideas for what you can do with thanksgiving leftovers. Most folks enjoy a turkey as the star of their Thanksgiving meal, so this meal plan reflects that. For my family, I have decided to go with Roast beef as the main character of our meal which is why I included it in my Thanksgiving meal plan. If you would like the recipes for many of these items you can check it out on my website, just go to my link in bio!

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
