The 2020 week 52 menu plan consists of meals that can be prepared for all 7 family members at our Christmas Week time share at the Marriott Surf Club in Aruba. We have done this trip for the past 12 years as a family, missing only twice, so we have created many traditions and memories. I will say that we have jumped through many hoops to make this trip possible.
Breakfast
The breakfasts planned for 2020 week 52 are based on recipes that make large servings since we will be feeding a family of 7 in the timeshare. By planning ahead I premeasured the dry ingredients and packed them in our carry on luggage. By doing so, all we need to buy upon arrival are the perishable ingredients. In addition, the measurements are complete so putting breakfasts together should be a breeze. The Creme Brûlée French Toast is a tradition on Christmas morning and is definitely “off plan”. The other breakfasts are THM compliant, although I will make toast, bacon, sausage, and fruit available for the rest of the family.
Sausage Crescent Roll Egg Casserole
Lunch
We have learned in the past to make lunch simple. What could be more simple than grilled sausages…brats and Italian. Grill once, reheat as needed over the course of the week. By doing this there is no lunch schedule per se, depending on activities and suntime, everyone is free to grab lunch when convenient. The quesadillas have been added because they were easy and enjoyable on our last trip to St Thomas.
Dinner
The 2020 week 52 dinner plan includes entrees that I have made frequently and are fairly easily prepared. I have included pasta with two meals to help stretch the meal especially with hungry teens. Christmas eve is surf and turf, a tradition that my daughter in law has instilled into our holiday. Christmas day will be a grazing day of lots of different appetizers. We will have a very relaxing day.
I won’t go into anymore detail about the week ahead. We highly anticipate a wonderful family vacation while creating more memories and reliving many traditions. With the meals planned it will hopefully be carefree and enjoyable. Bon Appetit! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
