Happy Weekend!  I am visiting my mom this weekend on Long Island where we will be attending a conference honoring my father and the work he did on behalf of the Italian community. I’m sure it will be a beautiful tribute to my father, whom we miss very much every day. 

In other news, if you have not finalized your Thanksgiving menu, I am giving you a nudge.  If you need help and you have decision-overload, my 2022 Thanksgiving Ebook is for you.  It’s only $15.  What is your time worth? How many hours will you spend searching for recipes and turkey tips and googling what you can make ahead and freeze?  I did it all for you and put it in one PDF. You can print the whole thing or print out just the recipes and tips you need.  Another tip, if there is a recipe you want to make for Thanksgiving, but you’ve never made it before, this is a good week to try it!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: egg-less spring vegetable frittata (but I’m going to use mushrooms, leeks and kale or spinach)

Tuesday: Chicken tikka masala, basmati rice with peas, sautéed spinach

Wednesday: Sweet potato and quinoa veggie burgers p. 209 from KMparsnip fries, fresh green salad

Thursday: Deconstructed stuffed cabbage casserole, serve a salad on the side if you need more (you can swap cooked lentils for the meat to make this vegetarian).

Friday: Cod acqua pazza (great one-dish meal!)

Saturday brunch: Green goddess quesadillas p. 127 from Quicker than Quick

Sunday: Moroccan chicken with dates, served with steamed white rice or couscous

 

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

Sunday: 

Cook vegetables for frittata. You can also blend tofu mixture for frittata and refrigerate. 

Cook quinoa

Wash greens

Monday: 

Marinate chicken

Make Tikka Masala sauce

Roast sweet potatoes 

Tuesday: 

Assemble sweet potato patties

Wednesday: 

Blanch cabbage leaves
