December Menu for Easy Meal Planning

How are we already in the second week of December?! I meant to have this menu completed last week, but life happens. I am excited about this roundup! This menu includes all the warm comfort food we are all craving this time of year! I chose meals that are both family friendly and easy! In this menu I tried to include a variety of meals, because lets be real some days I want to eat super healthy while others I am craving creamy, cheesy, comfort food! It’s all about balance, right?! Typically, I look for meals that include whole ingredients and are mostly made from scratch, but are still easy enough to make on a busy weeknight. December tends to be an extra busy month, so easy was a top priority while planning this menu!

This month’s menu includes:

2 breakfast ideas (a big breakfast on Christmas morning is a must, right?)

2 dinner ideas

2 slow cooker meals

2 warm comforting soups

3 sides

2 desserts
