I used to post my weekly to-do list for Thanksgiving on my site, but now I’m putting it all in my Substack newsletter. Not to sound like a broken record BUT the sooner you commit to a menu, the sooner you can start prepping ahead. I do most of my grocery shopping for Thanksgiving THIS week. You can buy canned goods, frozen items, spices, baking supplies, nuts and dried fruit, winter squashes, sparkling water and booze, even butter, and many dairy products. Now is also a good time to get your knives sharpened and check your serving pieces. If you need a guidebook to help you figure out which recipes to include in your Thanksgiving menu, troubleshooting tips, how to plan your timeline and more, you can order my Thanksgiving e-book here!
Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
Meatless Monday: Split Pea and Barley Soup, Thanksgiving Salad with Homemade Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Tuesday: Easy Balsamic Chicken from The Mediterranean Dish, Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Wednesday: Mediterranean fish stew, fennel and green bean salad with olives
Thursday: Deconstructed stuffed cabbage casserole (you can swap lentils for the meat to make this vegetarian), baked parsnip “fries”
Friday: Turkey meatballs with pasta or polenta, sautéed spinach
Saturday brunch: Pumpkin Pancakes with Yogurt and Homemade Applesauce
Sunday: Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake + cucumber and avocado salad with creamy miso-ginger dressing
