Today I’m sharing 31 recipes- one for each day of the month- to make the most of this holiday month. Below you’ll find recipes celebrating winter produce like carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, and winter squash, as well as plenty of warm, cozy, filling meals made with pantry staples to help keep you full + nourished all month long!
Had I realized that Saturday was December 1, I would have shared this post then instead of today. But, see, I was living in a world where it was still November and I had nothing but time on my hands.
We even decorated our Christmas tree over the weekend, remarking at how incredible it was the we were decorating it so very early this year. Before December, we claimed.
Well, think again, because December is here!
So, to help fill your December with sugar and spice and everything nice (like vegetables and cookies), I’m sharing 31 recipes (one for each day of the month- go ahead and make two in one day if you’re feeling cheated out of time, since I’m sharing this three days into the month) that are sure to keep you full + satisfied during this joyous (and often stressful) last month of the year.
This month we’re highlighting: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, and winter squash, as well as warm + cozy winter foods like soup, casseroles, and baked goods.
