Here is my menu for the Week of Dec 5. I couldn’t get to my computer last night to post because one of my kids needed it to finish up a school project.
Like everyone, I am finding myself a little pressed for time right now because of all of the fun holiday events that are going on around me so I probably won’t get a chance to link up any of this week’s recipes until Wednesday at the soonest. The busyness of the season is reflected in my menu, most of the meals are super simple and don’t require extensive prep or cleanup. I scale back on the complexity of my menus when my life gets busy, otherwise I would find myself stressed and anxious from trying to prepare elaborate meals while meeting all of my other obligations and fun events.
I hope that you are enjoying the holiday season so far!
