How is December coming along for you? It’s a busy season, remember to eat healthy when you can, indulge when you want to, give the gifts that matter like listening, smiling, and investing in others, and… enjoy the season!
Here’s some help with the “eating healthy when you can” goal.
Let’s take a look at this week’s menu!
December One Pot Dinners Menu
Monday’s dinner is a simple one-pot vegetarian soup with Moroccan flavors perfectly suited to December. Add a big salad with hearty greens and whole-grain pita or bread.
Tuesday’s dinner is always a favorite at our house– a simple skillet Mexican meal where the condiments make all the difference. It’s a great opportunity to pack in the veggies with avocados (or guacamole), chopped tomatoes, onions, greens and herbs. I’m serving with street taco-size whole grain tortillas.
Wednesday’s dinner just makes you feel good about December! It’s comforting, creamy, and super easy when using rotisserie chicken. If you don’t use the whole chicken, shred what is left and freeze for quick meals this winter. Think stir-fries, soups, salads, and more.
Thursday’s dinner is a roasted sheet pan seafood meal with an easy, flavorful Argentine sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli.
Friday’s dinner is a reader’s favorite one-pot pasta dinner. The best part of this simple meal is how easy it is to customize not only to your flavor preferences, but honestly, what’s left in your refrigerator from the week! Choose your favorite ground meat and add any vegetables that need to be used before the weekend.
The Treat is one of the easiest holiday cookies you can make. Make it ahead and slice when you’re ready to bake!
Have a beautiful and delicious week!

December One Pot Dinners Meal Plan (December 11)
December One Pot Dinners is about easy cleanup and interesting flavors. Dinner objectives this week? Keep it healthy, easy, and delicious!
Monday: Moroccan Bean Soup
This Mediterranean-inspired Moroccan Bean Soup is a quick-fix but hardy meatless soup filled with beautiful, fragrant flavors. It's a healthy one-pot meal, cooked in 20 minutes, that can be served with poached eggs or even chicken, lamb, or beef for additional protein.
Tuesday: One Pot Skillet Tacos
This Skillet Taco is the easiest, most delicious way to serve tacos at your next party. With a few simple, healthy ingredients, it's a go-to game day, Super Bowl, Friday night tradition.
Wednesday: Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with Rotisserie Chicken
"This creamy chicken noodle soup recipe has a delicious potpie feel to it. We call for rotisserie chicken to streamline your prep time—look for a nice big one with lots of breast meat on it. Pair this comforting soup with a green salad."
Thursday: Roast Salmon with Chimichurri Sauce
"Chimichurri--a bright, herby sauce served across Argentina--is the perfect healthy sauce for an easy salmon dinner. This recipe uses parsley but feel free to try your favorite combination of herbs, such as basil, mint or cilantro. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli."
Friday: One Pot Pasta with Ground Beef and Broccoli
This easy One Pot Pasta with Ground Beef and Broccoli is for those nights when dinner needs to be quick and easy. As in, almost hands-free. And family-friendly too. I love making this simple all in one pasta dish that is super customizable, is and manages to be light and flavorful with no red sauce or any cream!
Treat: Christmas Icebox Cookies (Slice and Bake Cookies)
These Christmas Icebox Cookies are slice and bake cookies that are incredibly easy to make, festive with colors of the season, and delicious with a vanilla buttery crumb. With sparkling edges, these holiday treats should definitely be on your Christmas cookie list!
