Menu Plan Monday #621

Welcome December with cozy holiday recipes and simple weeknight dinners in this week’s Menu Plan Monday!

Menu Plan Monday is a collection of family favorite recipes from dinner to dessert.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. If you made a recipe of mine, I can’t thank you enough, and I hope you enjoyed it (if you did, reviews are always welcome! 😉) This week’s Menu Plan Monday takes us into my favorite month. Not only does December hold Christmas but also my birthday. So I’m going to celebrate with recipes everyone will love!

First, we’re starting with one delicious dinner: Beef Tips With Mushroom Gravy. This hearty meal features tender sirloin steak tips with baby Bella mushrooms and a savory gravy. A recipe ideal for busy weeknights and holiday dinners. It pairs perfectly with my Crock Pot Creamy Mashed Potatoes and any of my Dinner Roll recipes. This is comfort food on a plate!

Now that Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is just around the corner, it’s time to focus on the best holiday side dishes! My Garlic Roasted Carrots add warmth and color to any meal. This simple recipe combines baby carrots, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, and a touch of salt and pepper, roasted to perfection and garnished with fresh parsley. The result is an amazing vegetable dish that compliments any holiday feast or cozy weeknight dinner.

Next, it’s time to start rolling out all the holiday desserts. My White Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cookies offer a festive burst of flavor and color. The combination of sweet white chocolate, tart cranberries, and zesty orange creates a soft, melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s perfect for cookie exchanges. These festive Christmas cookies are the perfect homemade gift and will bring cheer to your holiday celebrations!
