If you missed last week’s Monday Musings on Substack, I made my case in defense of carbs — and let’s just say it sparked a lot of good conversation (and a few cravings). Check it out if you haven’t yet!
And speaking of cravings, is it too early to start thinking about Thanksgiving? I don’t think so! I filmed my Thanksgiving class which will be ready on November 1, so I am in the spirit! But in the meantime, this week’s dinner planner is full of cozy, doable meals to carry you through October. Also, thank you for all the DMs about the new Sheet Pan Chicken Piccata — if you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a must.
Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
Meatless Monday: Vegan Lentil Shepherd’s Pie + simple green salad
Tuesday: Jalapeño Coconut Curry Chicken Meatball Bowls from Ambitious Kitchen
Wednesday: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos, jicama slaw
Thursday: Farro Salad with Fennel and Roasted Butternut Squash + a simple protein of your choice like broiled salmon, turkey sausages or broiled lamb chops
Friday: Miso glazed black cod, pea and mushroom sauté
Saturday brunch: Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Crumb Topping
Sunday: Everyday Turmeric Chicken, cauliflower rice, sauteed spinach
