My lunch dates at Culinary Dropout in Gilbert! Would recommend!
Giving all the yummy food we ate on our trip (and the break from cooking) full credit for this months meal plan. Feeling really excited to get in the kitchen to try new recipes and also plan on getting the pantry and fridge organized this month too. Might even go nuts and try my hand at meal prepping — fruits, veggies, lunch salads, overnight oats, etc!?!? If you have any tips, please share below!
Keep scrolling for the meal plan.
