December THM Meal Plan Printable -

Merry Christmas, friends! This month's menu is one of my favorite THM menus from this year. There are some special recipes here, but many are inexpensive and EASY to help me save money and time this month. You can copy the meals listed below, or enter your email address at the bottom and I'll email the FULL printable meal plan with clickable links AND a bonus shopping list!

This month's menu doesn't have a ton of dairy, although I wouldn't call it dairy-free. Feel free to add dairy to your S meals if you want to!

THM Menu Notes:

As always, please note that my menu planning system includes repeating breakfasts, lunches, and snacks throughout the month for simplicity. That means there are 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and a handful of snacks included on this menu. My kids and I enjoy the routine of knowing that on Monday we will be eating a certain thing for breakfast and a certain thing for lunch – it definitely saves time in the kitchen!
I've marked a few recipes that I double to freeze the second portion for later in the month. This definitely saves time and energy later in the month as things get busier. 🙂
Some of the dinners, like the Pan Roasted Chicken, filled us up, but it just might be us – feel free to add a side salad or round out your meals as desired.
Remember that THM is SO ADAPTABLE! There are more E meals this month because my body has been responding well to E meals, but you may need to swap out E for S, or switch things up during the week. Don't be afraid to mix up your fuel types and keep your body guessing!
This THM menu and the shopping lists that go with it feed a family of 6. I double to feed our 8 and get great leftovers. If you have bigger kids, or big eaters, you may want to add more protein, rice, and veggies to your shopping list. It doesn't hurt the recipes to add an extra chicken breast or 1/2 lb of ground beef to make a meal stretch, and you can always add extra rice or veggies or salads as side dishes for the kids. If you have a smaller family you may want to make the meals as directed but freeze half (if it's freezable), or just eat the leftovers for lunch.
If you already need these ingredients and want to help keep thewellplannedkitchen.com running, using my affiliate links here doesn't cost you any extra and definitely helps me out! This is where I buy the following: Jay Robb Egg White Protein Powder, Swerve Brown Sugar

I am always striving to make things easier for you, so I made more changes based on your feedback! I hope this is easier and more helpful!
