i have created a menu plan for every month this year.
it has been so good for me and our family.
throughout the month i peruse the internet for recipes and save them to my recipe folder.
towards the end of the month i begin plugging in meals for the month: our favorites, our monthly must-have's, new recipes, small group desserts/appetizers, date nights, taco/mexican night (tuesday's), and so on.
there is something to be said about an armful of recipes: it makes it easy to put a menu plan together. and it makes it hard.
but, it is wonderful and simplifies our life.
without further ado.
our menu plan for december 2012.
because mom's want to know: when you arrive mom we'll be having
roasted tomato basil soup with garlic ciabatta rolls (maybe caesar salad too).
friday it's homemade pizza!! and family movie night (would be a great night for it's a wonderful life!).
saturday it's my homemade noodles and chicken soup with homemade bread.
sunday is chicken parmesan - oh, yum!
monday - yes monday! is tacos.
christmas dinner is baked ham, garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, homemade green bean casserole, and of course sweet potato casserole.
and finally beef and broccoli with rice.
hope the dinner menu is acceptable mom, see you soon.
