Dinner Planner – Week of November 4, 2024

I hope you all had a nice Halloween!  For those of you who take my online monthly classes, the new Thanksgiving class is uploaded!  You can purchase just a single class if you’re not a subscriber.  Here’s the menu if you’re looking for some new inspiration and/or if instructional videos help you! 

Here’s the new menu: 

Caramelized Pear Salad 

Cheddar-Jalapeno Corn Pudding

Chocolate Cream Pie with Gingersnap Crust

Make-Ahead Turkey 

Roasted Acorn Squash with Sage Brown Butter, Hazelnuts, and Raisins

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: baked ziti* (you can opt for not meatless and add browned sausage), garlicky broccoli
Tuesday (election night): It’s going be a long night and I will likely need a Spicy Tequila Cocktail plus chicken pot pie, sauteed green beans with shallots, and maybe something sweet like this apple fritter skillet cake
Wednesday: Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup (this is enough for us for a meal, but add a kale salad with citrus vinaigrette if you need more)
Thursday: Harvest Chopped Salad, simple roasted salmon (or rub with olive oil and your favorite seasoning blend)
Friday: Turkey and Pinto Bean Sloppy Joes (serve with a toasted bun or over rice), classic cole slaw
Saturday brunch: Chickpea “tuna” salad on toast or lettuce cups
 
*baked ziti: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 13-9 baking dish. Combine 1 pound ziti, cooked until al dente, with 1 15-ounce container of ricotta and about 2 cups sauce. Mix well.  Add to baking dish and cover with a thin layer of sauce, sprinkle with grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella.  Bake in a preheated 350 oven for about 30 minutes or until bubbling and cheese is melted.

I come from a large Italian-American family with 28 first cousins (on one side of the family!) where sit-down holiday dinners for 85 people are the norm (how, you might ask – organization! But more on that later …).

Some of my fondest memories are of simple family gatherings, both large and small, with long tables of bowls and platters piled high, the laughter of my cousins echoing and the comfort of tradition warming my soul.
