December is really a huge month. There’s just so much that happens, for me especially. I got my birthday, Hanukah, Christmas and New Years.

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Well, next week we will have the briefest of breaks in this holiday whirlwind. By the time we get home from this long weekend, there’s only a handful of days before the next big blowout on the 31st. As you can imagine, all of this hub-bub throws off the meal planning train. In fact, this month has been a real challenge for me because of all the activity. I suppose its good to acknowledge that solid meal planning requires a stable life, day to day at least.

That said, the three meals I know we’ll prepare next week are looking mighty tasty! Here’s what I’ve put together for next week’s 3 days of guaranteed cooking and eating time.

• Butternut squash risotto (Check out this post on making the risotto.)
• Lamb Moussaka
• Winter vegetable soup

It should be a good week for us and an equally good week for all of you. Enjoy the long weekend. Drink you drinks, eat the delicious food and love your family. That’s what the holidays are all about.
