December 2019 Dinner Menu

I know we are still in the month of November, but things get so busy after Thanksgiving that I’m trying to get my dinner menu for December ready to go.

I plan a month’s worth of meals at the start of each month (you can see past menus here). It takes a bit of time and effort to do this, but it works for my family because it saves us time (I don’t have to set aside time planning meals each week) and money (I’m able to purchase bulk quantities of foods I know I will use multiple times).

I only plan dinners on our menus. For lunch, we typically eat leftovers or simple things like almond butter sandwiches, avocado egg salad, or cheese broccoli soup. For breakfast, we typically eat oatmeal, cold cereal, cheesy baked egg in toast, or waffles.

Here are the yummy dinners we will eat during December 2019.
