It’s the countdown to Christmas! Less than 2 weeks till Christmas and our time is full of parties, concerts and all the regular stuff too. Have an awesome week and enjoy all the seasonal celebrations! Have a look at our Christmas Survival Menu and let us know if we can help you out with family dinner too.

MONDAY - Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese. Super yummy, quick vegetarian meal and so much easier using canned squash when theres no time to roast your own.

TUESDAY - Chicken Barley Soup from Supper Studio. Link to order here.

WEDNESDAY - Sausage & Mushroom Naan Pizza. We love using naan for our pizzas at home. They freeze well and they are the perfect size for individual size pizzas. These flavors are a little more grown up, so if you need some basic pepperoni and pizza sauce please add those to your grocery list.

THURSDAY - Tuscan Garlic Tortellini Soup. Comfort food in a flash! Use a rotisserie chicken and tortellini from the deli section for some quick time saving options. No need to buy italian seasoning, you can sub in a ¼ teaspoon each of oregano, thyme, rosemary and basil instead.

FRIDAY - Fridge (our fancy word for leftovers).

SATURDAY - Supper Studio’s Rosemary Cream Pork Chops with Mushroom Rice

SUNDAY - Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas with Spicy Rice . This recipe is a favourite at our house and super easy to double and freeze a meal for later. The rice can be mixed with its spices and frozen as well!

We’ve added the groceries for the extra meal on your list. Prep both meals at the same time to have a spare in your freezer for later!
