November Meal Plan

Howdy, howdy. As we head into the holiday season it’s fair to say that most of us will be amping up our cooking game. Meals for friends, extended family coming to stay, and of course, in November, Thanksgiving come up at the end of the month. Lots of meals to plan and cook, some robust dinners for a crowd, but also dinners for busy weeknights, and who knows, maybe a brunch or two? I’ve got you covered – I’m also in the same boat! (Plus, this year my younger son’s birthday is on Thanksgiving itself, so I’ve got to toggle between a birthday cake and a bunch of pies!)

And’ tis the season for butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. Casseroles and braises. Pot pies and roasts. And yes, a whole turkey. This list is but the tip of the food iceberg for one of the busiest, “foodiest” months of the year. It also happens to be the time of year my family loves best food-wise, so there’s a lot of seasonal choices to explore.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for here, do try typing your desired dish into the search bar – it very well might be here. And if it’s not, please drop me a note – recipe development and testing go on about 365 days out of the year, so if there’s something you’re craving that I don’t have let me know! It might very well go on the list of recipes to create for the future.
