We had a wonderful vacation with extended family in Maine this past week, and I really enjoyed the break from my normal menu planning and grocery shopping! Since there weren’t any great deals on meat or fruit this week, I decided to rely on what we already have in our freezer. I like to completely rotate through my freezer stash every 4-6 months anyway, so this seemed like a good opportunity to work on that!
