December Meal Plans

Welcome back to the last of this years meal planning posts.  I’m not quite sure what shake up I will have on my meal plan posts next year, I’m sure I will be making few tweaks to how I do a family food post each month, so watch this space…

My December meal plans are a bit of everything this month; from breakfast lunch, dinner ideas, treats and more healthier options. There is of course a lot of indulgence for every meal in the day but then it can be mixed up with days of more fruit and veggies to recharge.  You won’t find inspiration on the main Christmas meal on this post as I figured everyone would have their own ways of doing it and to be honest I’m not our Christmas dinner maker in this house.  It’s the one meal I have no desire to cook, so Teamstein Daddy gets the honours to cook it every year!  So without further ado I will share with you what is on our pinterest board to inspire us over the next month.  I have given myself lots of choices and ideas to pick from and will definetly trying as many as possible.
