I’ve balanced holiday-inspired dishes with practical everyday meals, ensuring you can participate in all the seasonal joy without the stress of derailing your progress.
Between last-minute gift shopping, holiday parties, and wrapping up the year’s responsibilities, the last thing you need is complicated meal planning. That’s why I’ve done the work for you, creating a flexible menu that features quick-prep options, make-ahead meals, and smart strategies for handling holiday events. Each recipe includes precise Points calculations and suggested ZeroPoint food swaps, giving you the freedom to customize your week while staying confident in your choices.

Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Keep cooked chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, or turkey meatballs ready in your fridge. These protein sources can quickly transform a simple salad into a filling meal when you’re short on time between holiday activities or need a substantial post-shopping energy boost.
- Before holiday meals, prepare containers and have a plan for portioning leftovers. Immediately package extras into individual meal portions rather than storing large containers that encourage mindless grazing. Consider freezing portions for busy January days.
- When cooking staples like brown rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables, make double batches. These versatile basics can be mixed and matched throughout the week to create quick meals when you’re too busy with holiday preparations to cook from scratch. They’re also great for balancing out heavier holiday fare.
