Can you believe we are only a few weeks from Christmas?? How is that possible? The next few weeks of meal planning are going to be somewhat hectic. I can feel it in the air. Between holiday events, shopping, building our house and whatever else there is to do, cooking dinner is going to be the last thing I want to think about.

This is why meal planning comes in handy. If I work out all the details on Sunday and shop by Monday morning, there is no thinking involved – just implementing. In theory it works – right?

If you are new to the JoLynneShane.com, we ask that you share your own recent healthy recipe or meal plan from your blog. Please be sure to link back to one of us, and that the recipes you share use primarily real, whole foods. Each week we both host the linky so that means your post will be on both websites. AND we may just pick your recipe to be featured the following!

Please link back to us to be featured!!

My favorite recipe from last week was Greek Style Shrimp and Orzo from An Oregon Cottage.  This looks like a perfect simple, healthy dinner option.

Another great recipe from our link up is Crustless Spinach Cauliflower Quiche from Bizzy Bakes. What a creative way to incorporate cauliflower!

After over indulging a little this weekend I feel the need to dip into my 21 Day Sugar Detox recipe book. Clean eating really makes me feel much better and leading up to the holidays it can’t hurt. Some of my recipes do not have links but you can find each by signing up for the 21 Day Sugar Detox program here. It’s so worth it.

You get both cookbooks plus online access to tons of information and resources.
