December Meal Plan

For November I decided to try planning our dinners out for the whole month instead of one week at a time. And it turns out that I really like doing it that way so today I planned out our meals for December. My method this time was slightly different - each day of the week was assigned a "theme." Sunday is pizza night, Monday is slow cooker recipes, Tuesday is for new recipes, Wednesday is mexican, Thursday is soups, Friday is pasta and Saturday is miscellaneous. It worked out so great! I'd recommend it.

Here's what we'll be eating for December...

1- Chili in bread bowls, raw veggies & dip

2- Spaghetti carbonara, salad, garlic bread

3- Stuffed peppers, dinner rolls, salad?

4- Caramelized onion & prosciutto pizza

5- African stew over couscous, veggie?, dinner rolls

6- Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, chips, fruit

7- Mexican lasagna, applesauce

8- Cheeseburger soup, salad, biscuits

9- Spaghetti w/meatballs, frozen veg, garlic bread

10- Shredded turkey sandwiches, sweet potato fries, fruit

11- Pepperoni/pepper/onion pizza

12- Perfect pot roast, biscuits

13- dinner at small group

14- Texas chicken quesadillas, chips & salsa, fruit

15- Chicken meatball soup, corn bread

16- Lasagna, garlic bread, salad or veggie

17- Homemade chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, veggie

18- Pepperoni & sausage pizza

19- Slow cooker beef stroganoff, veggie or salad

20- California chicken wraps, chips, fruit

21- Tacos, fruit

November Meals

So I had a request or two for my November menu. I'm trying out planning meals a month at a time and so far I love it. Here's what on tap for this month...

Carrot & Potato Casserole

Beef Barley Vegetable Soup, biscuits

Risotto primavera, chicken breasts, salad

Butternut squash soup, bread

Garlic chicken alfredo pizza

Manicotti, salad, garlic bread

All Day Stew, biscuits, salad

Crock-pot chicken, acorn squash, salad

Chicken wild rice soup, salad, bread

French dip sandwiches, veggies & dip

Scotch eggs, toast, fruit

BBQ Chicken pizza

Chili in bread bowls, veggies & dip

Corn/ham/noodle casserole, biscuits, veggie

Chicken cacciatore, salad

Cheeseburger soup, salad, bread

Lasagna, veggie, garlic bread

Moroccan chicken & lentils, salad

Caramelized onion & prosciutto pizza

Stuffed peppers, biscuits

Fettucini alfredo, broccoli

Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, chips, fruit & veggies

Slow cooker beef stroganoff, salad

Italian chicken stew, biscuits

Couscous w/African stew, biscuits, salad

That's a meal for almost every night. It's inevitable that some nights we'll have leftovers instead or eat at a friends house, etc. Anything not eaten in November will be the start of December's meal plan. About half of these are tried and true favorites of ours and the other half are brand new recipes we've never tried before. I hope you try some and enjoy!
