Homestead Holiday MONTH Menu Plan | Grocery List

This menu plan is the one our family will be using for the month of December, and we will probably reuse it for January too! I’ve created it with very busy working mama’s and/or homeschooling mama’s in mind. I’ve tried to include a little something special to help you celebrate the season once or twice a week.

Each week I’ll be publishing some of the recipes for dishes on my blog and on my YouTube channel, Mountain Mama’s Home. The dishes with an asterisk * indicate a video will be publishing that week showing how I make the dish. Items marked with a B indicate I will be publishing a blog post with the recipe. Please check in regularly with my channel and blog because I will be attempting to put up even more recipes from this menu plan through the month though! Recipes NOT on my blog or channel can be found via quick Google searches.

Items in RED indicate you should make extra for additional recipes during the week or that the dish freezes well and you can create an extra one to freeze for the days when things don’t go as planned and you need a quick meal that’s ready.

The Holiday menu plan choices is huge! Feel free to pick only what your family would like from the menu choices. Since everything on the list is optional I did not create a shopping list for it. You will need to glance over the recipes you choose and create your own list for the items you choose. I’ve included a checklist for you to use for this and any other items not included on the shopping lists that you need.

You will notice Sunday’s only have two meals. This is because our family only has two main big huge meals on Sundays, and we relax and have snacks throughout the rest of the day. Popcorn is one of our family favorites!

Some of the meals are simple. We like one dish meals, but feel free to add salad or steamed veggies to the lunches & dinners!

December can be an expensive month for some families, and so the recipe ideas are for the most part affordable. Please keep in mind that our family grow’s and preserves over 70% of our food, so some of the menu idea’s may not be as affordable for you if you do not. Feel free to change up the menu as needed.
