Enjoy this December meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.

Well, we’ve watched The Santa Clause, so it must be holiday season! We’re in full swing of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all the deals. We got a couple of weeks of normalcy before my kids are out of school and then the chaos really ramps up.

The snow has fallen here and my boys have been loving going outside and playing. Building. Sledding. Throwing. All the things. I’m just thankful they can all dress themselves and put their own snow gear on.

When things are quiet, I menu plan. When things are busy, I menu plan. When schedules are calm, I menu plan. When schedules are chaos, I menu plan. It really helps me keep my sanity. Plan with me! Whether you use this one or one you make yourself, a menu plan will bring you more peace in the kitchen. Want a menu plan that’s even more simple than this one? AND includes a shopping list?
