What I'm Cooking in December

I'd taken care to plan meals for November and December before our son was born, but we've been well-cared-for by friends and my darling wife has been cooking up a storm, too, so I've not made most of the things I intended to make. I am starting to feel more competent about getting things done and also caring for our wee boy, so I expect to begin cooking again next week. We have kind friends bringing us food the rest of this week. 

Anyway, I saw one of my friends posting on FB about not knowing what to make for dinner, so I thought I'd post what I have planned for December, in hopes that she will find some inspiration:

-Ropa vieja, black beans & rice, avocado salad, maduros

-Bean thread soup, potstickers, salad, mandarin oranges

-Matzo ball soup, latkes, applesauce, salad, sufganiyot

-Pot roast, roasted veggies, wilted lettuce, pear salad

-Black bean chili, corn muffins, honey apples

-Swedish meatballs, egg noodles, lima beans, salad, fruit soup

-Hot chicken salad, potato souffle, green salad, fruit

-Beer-marinated hangar steak, butternut mac & cheddar, roasted cauliflower

-Spaghetti, Caesar salad, garlic bread
