The kids are off from school and my house is full, and somehow I've convinced myself that this means I've got more time to get things done. 😂😂 Things like finishing shopping for gifts and wrapping them and getting them under the tree. Planning out my menu for Christmas dinner (and breakfast). Sending out our holiday cards. Mailing holiday gifts to loved ones who don't live nearby. Wow, my to-do list is longer than I thought! I'm going to hop to it and leave you with these tidbits below (I've marked affiliate/referral links with a *, which means I may make a little bit of money if you make a purchase or sign up using that link - thank you!):
I sell a few things on Poshmark, so I couldn't help clicking on this article about a woman who's making six figures by selling on the site.
I have half a bag of tater tots in the freezer, and this fancy appetizer idea is right up my alley - I love caviar, and now I know how to use up those tater tots!
Am I the only one who's sad when it's all Christmas movies all the time on the Hallmark Mysteries channel? It turns out that you can log in to Hoopla with your library card and borrow a Hallmark Binge Pass. I'm totally getting my cozy mystery movie fix now!
This time of year is a little crazy, and I thought about not doing a menu plan until the new year. But then I thought about how having a menu plan, even if I don't follow it, somehow keeps me sane. Last week, for instance, three of the nights completely deviated from my planned menu. And the carnitas moved from Friday to Sunday night. Nevertheless, my days and nights were a bit easier because I had a plan of some sort, even if I didn't follow it.
Menu Plan - December 16, 2024
Monday: Breakfast for dinner - Blueberry Skillet Pancake, Sausage, Eggs, Fruit (if this looks familiar, it's because I was supposed to make it yesterday)
Tuesday: Boys' choice (I've got a girls' night out so I'll leave my men to figure things out for themselves 😂)
Wednesday: Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake
Thursday: Spinach Artichoke Dip (from ATK's Complete Slow Cooker*) and a Charcuterie Board
Friday: Turkey Pesto Sandwiches (this is another old Cooking Light recipe with a pin that doesn't go anywhere anymore so I'll have to re-create it)
Saturday: Asian Beef and Noodles
Sunday: Baked Ziti using meat sauce I've got in the freezer
