Another month is coming to a close already and another month of
planned meals is ready to be posted on the side of our refrigerator. Sometimes I find myself caught in a rut when
it comes to our meals but a plan definitely makes it easier for us, especially
when our schedule gets hectic. And
lately it really has been busy around our house.

I incorporated a lot of use of leftovers again this time. Not only will we make sure to minimize food
waste but it will also mean I will have fewer meals to cook and extra time to
focus in other areas. We also have a couple birthdays to celebrate as both girls are November babies. So there will be a couple special meals to prepare for them.
Lasagna
Homemade Dinner Rolls &
Butter
Spinach Salad & Asian Vinaigrette
Olives & Assorted
Pickles
Cheesecake
Are you a crazy meal planner like me? What wonderful things do you have planned to
eat?
We had lasagna for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and loved it. We have also bbq'd hamburgers for the holiday. Loved it. We had exactly what we wanted to eat.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with it. :) And to be perfectly honest I'm not willing to shell out the big bucks for a turkey this year.
DeleteWe usually have Lasagna for Christmas dinner. Growing up we always had a turkey for Thanksgiving and for Christmas we had Lasagna and for New Years we had a Ham with side dishes. I guess I tend to stick to what I'm used to because that is pretty much what I do every year. We have had some years where we totally scrap tradition for one reason or another but I always try to make sure we have a nice home cooked meal regardless. :)
ReplyDeleteYour menu sounds delectable!! I may snatched a few of your ideas for my November plan. :)
Help yourself to as many ideas as you like. :) We usually have turkey at Thanksgiving, Prime rib at Christmas and Chinese food on New Years. So lasagna is really switching it up for us this year.
DeleteWe too have lasagne for Christmas. Yours looks better than mine. Mine is sometimes to dry??
ReplyDeleteI love your monthly menus. It's terrific you plan such wholesome meals for your family. I was just reading another blogger who has young children and was completely shocked at how awful the meals were. She posted what they ate for a month and wow. I don't think there was one crockpot meal or roast.
So you should be proud of your careful and nutrious food planning.
Thank you for the great feedback Christina. I really appreciate it. :)
