I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving.  We had a lovely holiday at home with some family and friends.  The best part was cooking in the kitchen with all three of my kids.  I didn’t care what anything looked like, including myself LOL.  I was just thrilled to be together with my babies.  We are enjoying the leftovers and I am thinking Monday will be a great day to make a big batch of Bieler’s broth which is wonderful for giving the digestive system a little break. 😉

Monday’s Instagram Live will be at a different time because I am teaching at the normal 5:00 pm.  So I’ll either do it earlier in the day or on Tuesday at 5:00 pm.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday:  Bieler’s broth (everyone else can make an egg scramble or a waffle of leftovers)

Tuesday:  Chicken and vegetable curry (I might make this vegan and sub chickpeas for the chicken) with steamed white or brown rice or cauliflower-rice

Wednesday: Roasted salmon (olive oil, salt and pepper at 400 degrees/8-10 minutes per inch of thickness) with roasted balsamic rutabagas, sautéed swiss chard (you can use this recipe and leave out the dried apricots and pine nuts, if you want)

Thursday: Stracciatella (Italian Egg Drop) Soup , you can use this Turkey Stock recipe ( I made the turkey stock using my leftover turkey from Thanksgiving)

Friday: Sumac Spiced Moinkbox Chicken Skewers with Couscous with Dried Apricots and Herbs and a Morrocan Carrot and Beet Salad 

Saturday lunch: Abundance Kale Salad with Savory Tahini Dressing from The Minimalist Baker

Sunday: Turkey and Hearty Vegetable Soup from my book with Kale Pesto and Turkey Stock

 

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