FREE Meal Planning Course--Lesson #3.2 (December's Meal Planning Calendars & Planners)

© T.B. Cooper

So... here are the Meal Calendars & Planner/Menus for December--AS PROMISED!!!

Now.... Should I really call this a "lesson"?

Maybe not...

Hence-- 'Lesson  3 -point- 2'

If you have read Lessons #1 (How to plan with a calendar, all of your meals) 
& #2 (How to Make a Grocery List), what follows is described in that said lesson.

No idea what I'm talking about?

Here, go to Lesson #1 and/or Lesson #2 for full tutorials (or reviews).
They will open in new windows, btw...

Then if you want to copy my menus, you can, or make up your own... whatever...

Now, if you already read those lessons, or can figure out what to do by looking at the following pictures, or just need the copies again and don't want to go searching for them in the earlier lessons... here are the PDFs for the 4 Calendars & Planner.
​Which, in December, you will need 5 of the Weekly Planners, just fyi.

Here's what I've got for next month, with a few exceptions to my 'rules/selections'--

For one thing...December, being an extremely COLD month, is one of my favorite months to do stews, chowders, and soups.
PLUS, any leftovers, left over, I can on the second day, to stock the pantry for January & February--which are always much, much colder.

You can check out my Pinterest board of Soups, Chowders & Stews for some yummy ideas.

​Let's see, what else?
*the  17th is my eldest daughter's birthday, and we'll have family over
and then the next day...
*the 18th I take a road trip to pick up my middle daughter from visiting her family, so meal choices on that day are mostly leftovers & simple stuff
also,
*We are doing our 'family' Christmas on the 26th, this year

And.... I think that's it. So here's my calendars...

This is the Meat Tally Chart I wrote on the back of my Snack Calendar prior to doing my Grocery Lists...

A few notes on my Grocery Lists...

*I DID NOT ADD, because I didn't need to (I already have the stuff):

Cereal
Eggs (Until later in the month)
Frozen Mixed Veggies
Applesauce
Instant Oatmeal
Onions
Chicken Broth
Frozen Corn

*I ALSO plan to buy extra buns the first week for the BBQ Pork Sandwiches, to use the following week for the Sloppy Joe Casserole.

*The Potato Soup mix that I use for both my Clam Chowder & a base for my Potato & Onion Soup is the Green bordered packages by 'Bear Creek'

*And... I decided NOT to get any bacon or ground sausage for the Christmas Casserole, until closer to Christmas. Why? I dunno. Truthfully, I kinda forgot to add it in when I did the Meat Tally Chart... So I might just go and get it and cook it/freeze it in the beginning of the month, like I'm suppossed to. I certainly do not want a repeat of this Thanksgiving... Gee, You didn't hear about it? Hmm... oh yeah-- 'cause I haven't had hardly ANY time to post! It's okay... I'll catch you up soon with all the details and overdue posts and recipes...

I PROMISE! ;)

Okay... So here are my Weekly Planners/Grocery Lists for December...

Alright. That wraps this lesson up. Again, if you have any questions, if something isn't clear, or if you have recipe requests, or just want to tell me what you think about the course, so far... whatever you want to talk about, please--Contact me. I would love to chat with you!
