What's cooking in December?

Good morning everyone. Wow. It's already December. There should be a lot or cooking and baking this month. For dinner Monday Ria made Swedish meatballs and gravy and Yestauday I made a small sauce and I fried chicken cutlets for chicken parm. Ria had her chicken plain. With her meds sauce has a lousy taste and we had peas and carrots. Hope everyone has a great holiday season.

I still had a few unused russet potatoes from Thanksgiving, so I decided to see what else I needed to use up. Carrots, celery, onion, bacon and a half block of white cheddar. I bought a head of cauliflower this morning and am making a cauliflower potato bacon soup. Making it up as I go along. I don't think it could be bad.

Despite the cold temp today, 20° wind chill 12°, DH will be doing bbq ribs on the grill. They are actually ready made from the Kroger deli so just need to be warmed. I said we could warm them in the oven but no ... he prefers that BBQ taste!! OK by me! Also having twice baked potatoes & coleslaw. Hot cocoa & cranberry nut bread for dessert.

Everyone have a nice evening!

Breakfast was a chicken salad sandwich on white bread.

I don’t eat lunch but for dinner I made baked chicken drumsticks and thighs, seasoned oven roasted potatoes and spinach sautéed in garlic and a little EVOO.

Snack was an iced decaf coffee from Dunkin Donuts. I put a little vanilla Premier Protein shake in it.

Good evening every one.where expecting our first snow but not much. Ria made a big pan of chicken and rice soup so lots of leftovers and Yestauday she made scrambled eggs with leftover ham her mom made and I just made an apple cake. House smells great. How are you all going getting ready for Christmas? Were getting our booster covid shot tonight. Hope everyone is doing well and eating well.

Good morning all! Nice & sunny here. Tonite will be burgers & brats on the grill. Baked beans & coleslaw along with buns, onions, etc. for toppings. Pineapple upside down cake for dessert. Might as well take advantage of this warmer weather! Who knows what will be on the way!

Chuck roast in the oven now. First browned on both sides with thick sliced onions then topped with low sodium onion soup mix. Poured about 1 1/2 cup of water in bottom of pan. In about 1 hour will add large chunks of carrots, sweet & russet potatoes sprinkled with paprika.

Sure smells good already. The added vegs really make this a delicious meal!

I hope you all are well & enjoying the fun of the season!

Tacos for us tonight.

I am not cooking big meals in these weeks before Christmas in order to avoid a lot of leftovers that fill the fridge.

I will start cooking for Christmas on the 23rd, and want the main fridge to be almost bare.
