Welcome to the 3rd week of December! I can’t believe we are pretty much at the end of the year!
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.

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.
