Monday 8th--- Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Dinner: Black peppered chicken with Fettuccine Alfredo. Add a bag of frozen or fresh chopped vegetables (I prefer a frozen mixture of carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. I also add sliced mushrooms). The theme for today's dinner is WHITE to represent the purity of Mary.
More great meal ideas for this day can be found at Catholic Cuisine.
Dessert will be a rice pudding or Mary Blue Jell-O Cake . To make the dinner even more special take a large white candle and tie a blue or pink ribbon around to represent the Virgin Mary. Say a prayer for this special Feast, sip some Our Lady of Mt. Carmel tea, and have the children color while you are cooking.
Tuesday 9th--- Feast of St. Juan Diego
Dinner: Choose a favorite enchilada recipe. I really like the this Beef and Cheese Enchiladas. recipe from Shawna's Recipes and her yummy/ easy Mexican Rice dish. Puree some black beans straight out of a can for a side dish and eat the beans with tortilla chips.
Can't forget dessert! To represent the rose petals that fell from Diego's cloak make these creative from Chocolate Roses from Shower of Roses.
Una Fiesta Mexicana from Catholic Cusine has more great recipes for this Feast Day.
Wednesday 10th
Dinner: Papa Murphy's Pizza of your choice. Large Salad.
Thursday 11th
Dinner: Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti Squash or Pasta of Choice
Think Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti Squash, rather than actual spaghetti noodles. Use any left over salad from pizza night for a side dish. This looks like a mouth watering Chicken Parmesan from Bless O Lord.
Friday 12th --- Our Lady of Guadalupe
Breakfast: Crescent rolls to represent Our Lady standing on the crescent moon. Enjoy Hot Chocolate a treat for Aztecs and sip some Our Lady of Guadalupe Tea.
Dinner: Bean and Cheese Burritos, yellow Mexican rice, and tortilla chips with melted shredded cheese. Enjoy a red beverage, perhaps punch to represent the roses from Our Lady.
For more fantastic food ideas to celebrate this Feast go to Cottage Blessings: A Tea in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
In addition Catholic Cuisine's Rosy Treats... has some delicious looking rose themed desserts to make and some mouth watering Mexican Sopapias.
(If you don't want tortillas again, because you ate them on Tues, try out these Fish Tacos.)
Sat 13th---Feast of St. Lucy
Breakfast: Hot sweet rolls of some sort with a steaming cup of coffee. Perhaps the children can serve it to you in bed?
Dinner: In Progress? Any Ideas for St. Lucia. Something with Saffron?
Sunday 14th
Dinner: Meatball Sub Casserole from Natalie's Recipe Box. Can you say WOW?! Add some sliced steamed zucchini and yellow squash for side dish.

Neat! Happy to see you expanding your blogging. ;)
I'd love to see pics of how your meals turn out if you remember.
And thanks for the link love! Peppermint bark and Pepp. Bark cookies coming up on my blog. Oh yeah--cranberry bread!
Hey! I'm glad you are making the Meatball Sub Casserole. =) I would suggest toasting the bread so that it holds up better. The first time I made it, the bread was very gooey, but still good. Let me know how you and your boys like it. =)
