Weekly Menu Planning - December 2025

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope everyone has a nice day today, whether it’s Christmassy food, Chinese take-out, or anything else you fancy :slight_smile:

This morning, I will be serving Quebec-made panettone, fried pork chops, poached eggs with hollandaise for breakfast. Egg nog, masala chai or cider. Coffee from my Danish Advent calendar, I fell behind!

This evening, we are going the Teutonic route, with roasted goose with red cabbage and potato dumplings. I may also do the roasted apples that are mentioned in a Saveur article about a Viennese Xmas.

Boxing Day, I’ll make our family spanakopita, with several greens and several herbs.

The 27th, I think I’ll make Tourtière. I usually make the Martin Picard tourtière du Shack, from Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. I will try a different recipe from my Canada’s 100 Best Magazine this year .

Cheese Fondue from a package on the 28th.

Maybe take-out on the 29th.

Something fancy on the 30th, have not figured that out yet.

Baking a birthday cake on the 31st. I am currently leaning towards a Black Forest Cake or maybe Donauwelle. Our neighbour is making Seafood Stew on New Year’s Eve.

NYD: I want to make Shuba Salad. I will probably make lentils. I haven’t figured out our main yet. :slight_smile:

I might also make Joanne Chang’s Sticky Buns for NYD breakfast.

Hope this is a good week for everyone.
