Decembe Menu

[Cathie]

sitting working on my December menu right now.

I was hoping to grocery shop today but I think I will save it for tomorrow when I have a better game plan.

I haven't gotten very far but here is what i have so far:

Thursday  3 - french onion soup and mozzarella panini's
Friday 4 - leftover soup and pizza

off to finish - I am hoping to do the whole month today

I wrote down some menu ideas a few weeks ago and have been working off of it.  Here is what I have, in no particular order, for the next few weeks:

Steak, potatoes, veggie
Fish tacos, cole slaw
Sweet potato and black bean burritos, veggie
Chickpea piccata, mashed potatoes, veggie
Homemade pizza, salad or veggies and dip
Egg biscuits, potatoes, fruit
Lentil soup, bread
Tuna melts, oven fries, veggie
Baked potatoes, veggie
Salmon, rice, veggie
Black bean burgers, potatoes, veggie
Tomato soup or Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup, grilled cheese or cheese toasts
Minestrone, garlic toast
Mushroom Spinach Lasagna, veggie
Ham steak, baked sweet potatoes, veggie
Chicken fajitas, veggie
Pasta with salmon and peas, veggie, garlic toast

I don't plan a specific veggie for each meal.  I just use whatever I have in the freezer or what I grabbed at the produce store.  The sweet potato and black bean burritos could change into a chili or something else similar.  It depends on my mood when I am cooking that day.  😊

Of course, I have all of that food in the house and we ate out tonight.  🙄  It was just three of us and I didn't feel like cooking after all of that food shopping I did the past two days.  😃😃😃
