It’s feeling like fall and because I’ve finished two out of four classes for the Thanksgiving bootcamp, I have Thanksgiving on the brain!  I know Halloween is coming next weekend, but I think it’s going to be quieter than usual around here.  A couple of things to mention before you delve into this week’s dinner planner:

  • My monthly online cooking class students, I will be going live on our private FB page on Tuesday 10/27 at 5pm PT.  I can’t wait to connect with you then!
  • The all-new, updated 2020 Thanksgiving e-book will be available for purchase Thursday of this week.  Why Thursday?  Because it’s 4 weeks before Thanksgiving!
  • People have asked about joining the Thanksgiving bootcamp.  Unfortunately, it has already started.  You can certainly watch the first two classes on your own if you like.  Please email my assistant Erika if you’re interested.  pamelasassistant@gmail.com
  • I will be repeating the Plant-Based Bootcamp in January and I am currently working on a Plant-Based Bootcamp 2.0 as a follow-up.  I will likely launch that in February.  Students will have had to have completed the first Plant-Based Bootcamp.  I will also be repeating my original Healthy Cooking Made Quick and Easy Bootcamp after the new year!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Oven baked giant beans with tomato, dill and feta, green salad with Everyday Salad Dressing #1

Tuesday: Wheat Berry Salad with Lemon and Tahini Dressing, slow roasted salmon (omit mango salsa)

Wednesday: Lickety Split Chicken from KM, sautéed or roasted cabbage, sweet and spicy sweet potato wedges (but I’m going to use carrots since I’m making sweet potatoes the next night)

Thursday: Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Leeks and Garlic Dressing + add some reheated cooked white beans or lentils for protein, sautéed spinach or chard

Friday: Seared scallops (Quicker Than Quick),  farro with golden beets and mint vinaigrette

Saturday (Halloween): Turkey chili (to make this plant based: swap out turkey for an equal weight of cooked beans or cooked lentils) + topping bar and cornbread, Apple Cider-Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Sunday: Cauliflower Tikka Masala from Quicker than Quick served with steamed rice, plus chopped cashews to add a little protein (if you need more, serve with a simple piece of fish or stir cooked lentils into the masala sauce.)
