December Menu

Ok, this month proved to be especially hard for me to put together. All I really want to eat is comfort food (aka carbs and more carbs), but the hubby and I have committed to eating better soooo, putting pen to paper was an internal struggle. I think I managed to plan some pretty healthy meals, but also threw in some comfort foods, ya know, for moral. Thank goodness we're heading out of town for the holidays, otherwise those extra 6-8 meals would have taken me all day to figure out! Here ya go!

(These first two were on last months and never materialized :/ )

Lasagna and salad
Taquitos and guacamole
Turkey burgers and sweet potato fries
Broiled Tilapia, green bean casserole, roasted red potatoes
Sweet n Sour Chicken, rice, and steamed veggies (you can also skip the bread and frying pan, just add a little cornstarch to your sauce and bake cubed chicken)
Thai Meatballs over spaghetti squash, edamame
Sweet Pork sandwiches with cilantro lime slaw, roasted veggies
Grilled chicken, brussel sprouts, Paleo sweet potato soufflé
Gyros, greek salad
Riobollita
Grilled pizzas
Chicken strawberry salad wraps, raw veggies
Tortilla soup
Tuscan Lemon grilled chicken, artichoke
French Dip sandwiches, canned peaches
Thai coconut curry noodles (ok, heres how I do this recipe...Grill up some chicken, make the sauce, steam some broccoli and carrots, pop edamame in the microwave and let the kids pop the pods, sautee green onion and mushrooms, throw it all together. The kids get noodles, us grown-up go no-carb)
Butternut squash soup, lots of homemade croutons. Lots.
Breakfast
BBQ ribs, cornbread, green beans
Avocado bacon chicken salad (this is a new one for us!)
