January Menus 2018

I’m technically taking a blogging break for the holidays, but I don’t want to begin 2018 unprepared, so I worked ahead to prepare the January Menu plan. I’m relying heavily on my pantry and freezer stock this month. You’ll notice the food is simple and mostly frugal; we’ll talk more about that next week when I reveal the 2018 Word of the Year and its January application. (Aren’t you curious?)
