Menu Plan Monday ~ Dec 1/14
Yay it’s December!! I love that I get to change my banner above to a nice new festive one for the holidays. If there is ever a month to be planning your menus this is it! With so much going on this month, planning a weekly menu is one of the easiest ways to keep your sanity. Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be, keep it simple and let it be one less thing you have to worry about. Join us here each Menu Plan Monday for ideas and inspiration.
Also as a reminder, you can check out the menu planners and grocery list templates I have available for free here.

Speaking of keeping things simple, here is a great post listing 33 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Recipes. Doesn’t get much easier than that, does it!
Christmas Tree Hunting:
So my family is crazy. Every year we go to a local tree farm to pick out a Christmas tree and since I like to have my tree up at the beginning of December, we went out yesterday to get this years tree. Only problem was it was -30 degrees Celcius out. Yikes that is cold but if we waited for a warmer day we might be waiting for awhile. Here in Northern Alberta, Canada it is cold,cold, cold most of the winter. I thought you might enjoy some pictures from our day.
All bundled up:
Did I mention it had snowed 45 cm a couple of days before?
Our tree pick:

WOW! It’s so beautiful with all that snow. Stay warm, though, and take care of yourself! Thank you as always for hosting 🙂
I love that slow cooker resource. Three ingredients sounds about right to me! Thanks for sharing.
While it is absolutely picturesque, I don’t envy that cold weather one bit. Stay warm!
