December Menu Plan

It has been too long! I had a great Thanksgiving where I cooked massive amounts of food and I have several delicious recipes just BEGGING to be shared. Hopefully, I will get to that very soon. For today, I want to share my December Monthly Menu Plan. I took a break from doing monthly shopping, and I decided it was time to go back to it. It really does make our lives run so much more smoothly (not to mention, I'm convinced it saves us lots of money). It is a little work up front, but, when finished...I won't need to think about it until next month which is AWESOME. Especially since I need to focus my time and energy preparing for Christmas. YIKES! I so admire all of you that have all of your shopping done before Thanksgiving. In my next life, I am going to be super-organized like that:-) I also admire all of you that have been better about keeping up on your blogs than me. Ugh! My intentions are good, but I always feel guilty blogging when I should be cleaning, like NOW.
