Menu for Week of December 22 through December 28, 2012

[Charmie777]

Wow! Just typing the subject line is blowing my mind!!! It's the last menu for a full week in 2012! The year has flown by!!!
Well, Christmas is just a couple of days away. I'm not fully ready, but not stressed. It'll happen.
What is everyone making for Christmas? I'm still kinda up in the air, but it's pretty low key this year.

Here's my menu, share yours!!

Saturday - last minute preps and cooking for the week ahead. Probably just paninis for dinner.

Sunday - Christmas with my side of the family. I'm bringing Caramelized Butternut Squash and maybe will try some bacon jam.

Monday - CHRISTMAS EVE!!! I have to work 1/2 day, but then my step daughter and my grandkids are coming for dinner. Making meatball subs in the crock pot using Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs, with some coleslaw. Probably pumpkin pies for dessert.

Tuesday - CHRISTMAS!!!! My DH always makes Eggnog French Toast with some maple sausage.
For dinner - we're smoking a Rib Eye Roast, and making Asiago, Potato, and Bacon Gratin, and the rest is up in the air.

Wednesday - Leftovers!!

Thursday - Cheeseburger Quiche and salad

Friday - Simple Crock Pot Chicken over mashed potatoes, vegies and rolls.

Oh, and have a BLESSED CHRISTMAS everyone!!!

Bacon jam is cooked bacon and onions and other stuff, cooked down in a slow cooker. It's a Martha Stewart recipe. I've never had it. But sounds fun!

Baby Carrots With Lemon & Walnuts looks great!
