Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️


Hi Reader,

It's here! The holiday hustle and bustle. I hosted Thanksgiving for sooo long but my kids are adults now and starting families of their own, so I'm passing the torch! 🔥 We already have an 8-day holiday email guide (you can get that free email series by clicking here!), so I'll throw a holiday recipe in here or there, but for the most part, we all gotta eat!

Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️

Here's our suggestions for delicious meals, sides to go with them, and a breakfast and dessert idea as well! [See previous meal plans ​here​].


Serve on a bed of tender egg noodles

Goes great with sliced bread or fresh salad

Treat yourself to a colorful Aperol Spritz with dinner

Bake up a loaf of our 1963 white bread to go with it!

Serve over a bed of white rice or rice noodles


Cooking slow...

..is ideal for busy days, hot days, and just any day honestly! We have several slow cooker recipes and we have found that CrockPot brand to be the best. If you have an older CrockPot you probably love it!


Breakfast and Dessert

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

These pumpkin cranberry muffins will be your new favorite breakfast treat for fall with chunks of white chocolate, fresh or frozen berries, pumpkin, and lots of cozy spices!

Sweet Potato Pie

A perfectly spiced sweet potato pie is a long-standing tradition for many families. It's similar in consistency to a pumpkin pie, but with deliciously creamy sweet potatoes instead.

I would love to hear if you try any of these! Leaving a comment and star rating really helps other home cooks and bakers as well!

Hi Reader, One more week until Thanksgiving, after which I'm sure you'll have had your fill of turkey. 🦃 I'm throwing in a recipe that uses stuffing to get you prepped. I made this just the other night because Kai loves stuffing and we just don't have it that often. Hope you like it!
