Weekly Meal Plan Week 23

Weekly Meal Plan Week 23 – 10 great bloggers bringing you a full week of recipes including dinner, sides dishes, drinks and desserts!

Happy Christmas Week!! Can you believe that Christmas is only 6 days away! How is that even possible? My son had a snow day this week. Obviously, he was thrilled about it. But, I am a mean mom, and put him to work! He stuffed the Christmas cards, folded the Christmas letter, and helped get me a little bit more caught up. So our Christmas cards should arrive before Christmas, which this year I am counting as a success. Don’t worry, he had plenty of fun. He played in the snow for a long time with a friend, and discovered all sorts of things in his closet he forgot he had.

My in-laws arrived last night, so we are in full on entertain and Christmas mode around here now. My son has his last basketball game this afternoon, and then it is all about wrapping presents, making cookies, and enjoying time together as a family. I am even going to steal a few ideas from this meal plan to get through the week. I am pretty sure the Southwest Chicken Stew will be a big hit!!

Plus check out the leftover ideas for after Christmas! Leftover mashed potatoes – try the soup! Leftover stuffing – make the turkey and stuffing meatballs. We have you covered!! Drink to have on Christmas Eve – make the cider. Appetizer for a crowd – Dill Pickle Dip. And isn’t that gingerbread fudge just adorable!

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy lots of time with family with plenty of delicious food!
