Week of December 21, 2015 - Weekly Meal Ideas


With Christmas just a week away, we hope you will have a chance to slow down and appreciate all that you have been blessed with!  Whether you are planning a small gathering or feeding a houseful, we have included several crowd-pleasing ideas this week!  And, of course, there are many more available on Eat REAL America.  We hope you are able to amaze your family with meals that taste so good they won’t believe they are healthy!  Who knows, maybe your healthy and delicious food will inspire someone else this holiday season!

If you need an idea to let your slow cooker work its magic while you finish your holiday planning, the Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chicken Chili is the way to go!  Holiday flavors are wrapped together in the Christmas Burger — Brussels sprouts, cranberries, and blue cheese — YUM!  The Zesty Shrimp Stir Fry and Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping will also help with your final countdown pre-holiday meals!

If you are looking for an impressive, “tastes like it’s from a restaurant” side idea to serve holiday guests, the Roasted Radicchio and Grape Salad is absolutely fantastic!  (Radicchio look like small red cabbage, but are more tender and have a different flavor than regular cabbage.  They can be a little bitter, but the grapes, pickled red onions and dressing provide a great flavor combination to offset the bitterness!)  Or, take the Christmas Quinoa Salad to your next gathering — very fresh, festive and super good!  Last, but not least, the Cinnamon Raisin French Toast Bake would be perfect to make the night before and serve your holiday guests the next morning.

Have a wonderful holiday!  Merry Christmas!
