Our Weekly Crock Pot Meal Plan: Week 15 – Holiday

Now how about that meal plan?

This year Christmas falls on a Sunday. That makes getting a big ol’ feast on the table by lunch time a bit of a stretch for us. We will get up early, open stockings, get ready for church (nine people, one shower…eeek!), go to church, come home, eat, open presents. Man, I’m exhausted already! You notice that “eat” was thrown in the middle and BEFORE opening presents. Well, I can think of three little kids and one big kid (I’m looking at you Aunt Lou!) who will be biting at the bit to tear into their presents, so we will be doing a little bit of an nontraditional feast this year that goes better with “grazing”. Feel free to pick and choose from what we are eatingto build your own meal plans.
