What a week!  In this unpredictable world, food is always there for you, consistent and unifying.  Let’s get cooking!

This is a big week for organizing for Thanksgiving and keeping the meals simple.  November is my busiest work month and frankly, I am toast.  So I am really keeping it easy!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Stir fried brown rice noodles with cabbage, carrots and mushrooms

Tuesday: Wild salmon patties (Mr. Picky eats them on a hamburger bun or in a pita), green salad with mixed greens, fennel and pomegranate seeds

Wednesday:   No Work Chicken from Weelicious, brown rice, grilled broccolini

Thursday:  Spaghetti squash (here’s a recipe for how to roast one) with turkey meat sauce (just brown ground turkey and add marinara sauce), roasted mushrooms

Friday: Tex-Mex sweet potatoes, Mexican sautéed greens

Saturday lunch: Butternut squash soup, corn muffins

Sunday: Easy cassoulet with turkey sausages, green salad with everyday salad dressing #1

Here’s what you can do ahead of time if it helps you:

Prep (wash, dry, chop) vegetables for stir-fry

Wash salad greens

Seed pomegranates
