Welcome to the 2nd week of December!
Throughout this post, I’ve also linked to Youtube videos that are similar to how I cook the meals in my home, just in case you want a little visual help or inspiration. And while I always try to keep our meals as balanced as possible, I also keep them realistic, kid-friendly, and doable for a busy household.
If you’re looking for simple ideas to help you flow through the first week of December, here’s what we’ll be eating in our home.

This is what we’re eating this week, and I hope it gives you ideas you can use or tweak for your own family. Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just about having a simple roadmap so the week feels a little lighter.
I plan to share my meal plan for each week so be sure to stop by on Sundays and tag me on Instagram or Tiktok if you follow my meal plan.
