Menu Plan Monday ~ Dec 19/11 Christmas Edition!
Welcome, welcome, welcome and Merry Christmas to everyone! Boy what a week I had last week, all three kids were sick with a flu/cold combo at once. It wasn’t pretty. I think I have two kids that can go back to school tomorrow for their last week before holidays but one will be home for another couple of days for sure. Hope he gets better soon since I have my in-laws coming on Tuesday for Christmas and I definitely don’t want them to get sick that is for sure.
Last week the Eggnog Latte Cupcakes turned out so well. They were easy to make although the frosting part took a little while (as you can see my technique still needs some work!). They were so delicious that I decided to make them again today for a different teacher’s luncheon tomorrow.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Monday: BLT Burritos
Tuesday: Make-Ahead Unstuffed Shells (family favorite) served with spinach salad and bread machine garlic bread. I’ll also be attending a ladies function in the evening and will be bringing Peppermint Popcorn Bark.
Wednesday: Baked Teriyaki Chicken (my all time favorite dish!) served with Shredded Potato Casserole and broccoli
Thursday: Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham served with Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes & Carrots
Friday: Fondue party!
Saturday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew (using up fondue leftovers) before we go to the Christmas Eve service at church. Afterwards we’ll enjoy some Brown Sugar Brie and Hot Pizza Dip.
Sunday: For breakfast we’ll have my father in-laws favorite Wake Up Casserole. Our Christmas dinner includes: Turkey with bacon-infused gravy, Old-Fashion Dressing in the slow cooker, Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes, Creamy Vegetable Casserole, Golden Honey Pan Rolls (bread machine) and Candy Cane Cheesecake for dessert
Whew, what a busy week it’s going to be!

Sounds like a delicious week! That teriyaki chicken sounds divine. I may need to switch things around a bit…
The BLT Burritos sound very good for something a little different. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Your cupcake looks gorgeous, Laura! 🙂

I’ve been looking for some more chicken recipes. I’ll be trying the Baked Chicken Teriyaki next week.
As much “fun” as it is to be sick, I’m glad your kids got it out of their systems before Christmas! I’m not a big eggnog fan, but those cupcakes look pretty tasty – I can see why you’re making them again.
I hope you enjoy the turkey! We thought about making it again for Christmas, but we’re opting for two crockpot dishes — chicken chili on Christmas eve and Crockpot Boeuf Bourguignon on Christmas day. These have become our recent traditions.
Merry Christmas, Laura!
Hi, Laura.

I love fondue! We used to do it on Christmas Eve when I was younger.
Have a wonderful week!

Your menu looks so delicious, I might try the cheesecake desert for Christmas.
Looks like a delicious week at your house. I may have to amend my menu this week to add the Teriyaki Chicken and the Wake Up Casserole. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas holiday!
Merry Christmas, Laura! I hope you and your family have a blessed holiday. 🙂
You’ve got me contemplating how to fit a fondue party into our plans- that sounds fun and easy, which is usually my mantra. 😉
Wow, that baked teriyaki chicken recipe looks perfect! I always have those ingredients on hand. Addint to next week’s menu! Thanks for the link up and Merry Christmas.
Your Christmas dinner menu looks so good! We are having the maple ham crock pot dish for xmas dinner you posted awhile back. I made it right after and my husband liked it so much he requested it for xmas dinner. Super easy so I’m going to spend more time on the side dishes and desserts! Thanks for a a great recipe!
Thanks for hosting. I am home with two sick kiddos today. What a way to start the week before Christmas! I hope all is well in your home soon!
Hi, Laura. I hope your kids feel better soon so you can start having fun! I shared a chocolate wafer cookies recipe, a 4 o’clock walnut cookies recipe, and a Hungarian liptauer cheese recipe today. Thank you for hosting us again and have a great holiday week!
I brought the unstuffed shells to a Christmas party and they were a big hit!
I have since added the Baked Teriyaki Chicken recipe to my go-to recipes. It is one of my favorites now! Super yummy! I am very happy that you shared it. Thanks!
