So, although this Menu Plan Monday is supposed to be Family Faves, I have another plan for this week. You see, we really want a fancy-dancy Christmas dinner. We had to skip a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year, having no one with whom to share the day and not wanting turkey leftovers for eons thereafter, but we have no desire to skip Christmas!
No way, Jose!
And I know what my man likes: beef, lots and lots of bloody red beef. But, in order to get this velvety dinner on our table this year, we need to pull up our bootstraps over the next two weeks and eat not our fave eats but our fave cheap eats! Here goes:
Monday: Potato & Bacon Chowder, green salad
Tuesday: Chicken Chili & Cornbread, cold veggie tray
Wednesday: Buttermilk pancakes & turkey sausages, w/fresh fruit salad
Thursday: Ham & Split Pea Soup, green salad
Friday: Oven-Baked Chicken Chimichangas, w/Cucumber-Avocado Salad
Saturday: Breakfast Burritos w/fresh fruit salad
Sunday: Out for the Day!
So, do you have an especially decadent dinner planned for Christmas? How do you cut back to save for those special family traditions you love?
