Weekly Menu 12.23.18

Our Weekly Menu 12.23.18 is full of festive meals for Christmas Week!

All our babies are home (YAY!) and we are celebrating in my favorite way: with food.

We are starting the week with a (slightly) decadent Italian meal on Sunday. We are mixing things up a little bit with a fun recipe from The Fed Up Foodie called Italian Cheesy Bites. They have sausage AND pesto. We’ll halve the recipe or else we won’t be able to eat dinner!

I’ve mentioned before that I come from a huge family.

Sometimes it seems like we’re related to everyone, but at the holidays it’s absolutely wonderful. We’re going to my brother and sister-in-laws home for Christmas Eve Dinner. The food is always delish, and the company divine. Oh, and the drinks are usually flowing as well.

On Christmas Day we spend more time than I’ll admit watching “A Christmas Story”. We start with a big brunch late morning and eat ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner. Despite the fact that there are cookies everywhere, we’ll finish dinner with a Baby Jesus Birthday Cake, a fun way to remind us all what the season is really about.

The Weekly Menu 12.23.18 reels it back a bit for the rest of the week.

A bit. We’re having a big salad and some chicken soup later in the week. We’ll enjoy the last of the ham with family favorite Ham & Cheese Sliders on Friday. We use dinner rolls from Sam’s stuffed with ham and a variety of cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, provolone) and spreads (honey mustard, chipotle mayo, regular mayo). Then we wrap two or three of the little sandwiches in foil and bake at 425 degrees until melty and awesome, about 10 minutes.
