Happy weekend, friends! As we enter Thanksgiving week, now is the perfect moment to map out your meals, keep things simple, and reclaim some peace in the kitchen. My goal this week? Make your cooking streamlined, turn prep into stress relief (not stress itself), and help you show up to the table relaxed and ready. If you haven’t yet, hop over to my Substack. The last few posts are all about planning ahead, smart shortcuts, and reminders that make the holiday feel manageable (and actually enjoyable). I’m so grateful for this community and your enthusiasm, your creativity, your willingness to lean in and make beautiful food for the people you love. Thank you for being here; I’m honored to help you make this Thanksgiving your best one yet!
Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
Meatless Monday: Minestrone Soup from Delish + I might add in a few Cheddar-Chive biscuits that I have frozen for Thanksgiving, otherwise just some sourdough, olives and cheese
Tuesday: Slow cooker chicken tacos + Mexican Cobb Salad (you can omit the chicken)
Wednesday: leftovers! Make it easy on yourself the night before and prep while eating leftovers from Monday and/or Tuesday!
Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving! If you’re still searching for recipes and tips, my Thanksgiving e-book is here.
Friday: Leftover Mashed Potato Gnocchi and check here for other leftover ideas
Saturday brunch: Leftover Stuffing and Egg Bake
Sunday: Turkey and Spinach Quesadillas with Cranberry Salsa + any left over vegetables or Turkey Avgolemono Soup (recipe coming this week!)
