Here's your meal plan for November Week 4! Get ready for Thanksgiving dinner with an easy stir-fry and an easy quiche, then use up your leftovers in a turkey casserole.
Thanksgiving is sort of here! main as much as this momentous day are numerous days full of prep paintings. Oh, and we nevertheless gotta eat!
We continually invite to Thanksgiving dinner any infantrymen from our unit who can’t cross domestic for numerous motives – we will’t go away them to eat pizzas inside the barracks! You likely have your Thanksgiving menu all deliberate out already, but simply in case, I’m sharing my menu for that meal, too.
MEAL PLAN FOR NOVEMBER WEEK 4
1 Roasted Sweet Potato Soup:
Monday’s meal, meatless as usually round here, is going to be Roasted candy Potato Soup with a side of toasted naan bread. if you have time, peel and dice greater candy potatoes Friday’s meal, as properly.
Why naan with this soup? properly, because whenever I taste curry powder (which flavors this soup), i am getting a hankering for the stuff. I buy mine pre-baked at my local grocery store and dad it into the oven to crisp up.
considering that this recipe requires bird inventory, and when you consider that I’m sure you’ll possibly need a few for afterward within the week, do not forget making one of the versions outlined on this post. Freeze what you don’t want this week.
2 Flank Steak Stir-Fry with Asparagus and Red Pepper:
Quick meals on busy weeknights makes life flow seamlessly. Take this Flank Steak Stir Fry with Asparagus and Red Pepper, for instance. Asparagus is still readily available in most parts of the country, but you can easily substitute it with green beans or broccoli.
I also appreciate how quickly this recipe comes together. Serve it with some rice and there’s nothing else needed
3 Quiche Lorraine:
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is loopy — even for cooks like me. the entirety is being prepped, cooked, or baked, so you can also locate your self a piece crushed. in case you sense this manner, then this Quiche Lorraine is a gift that maintains on giving.
Double the pie dough recipe and you’ll have enough to make your Thanksgiving pie. you could also double the recipe and make enough quiche for tonight’s dinner and the following day’s breakfast! Quiche is likewise a brilliant make-ahead meal – when you have time to make it over the weekend, simply stash it inside the fridge and pull it out for tonight’s meal.
I serve my quiche with a side salad for dinner, or with clean fruit if I’m serving it for breakfast. Bacon will also be used in Fridays meal this week, so purchase a piece more and reserve a quarter pound for later.
4 Thanksgiving!!! Ok, it’s sport time! The huge day has arrived and we’re ready to head forth and triumph over the dinner table! perhaps, I take Thanksgiving Day too critically, but whatevs. mom’s Roast Turkey in conjunction with this inexperienced Bean Casserole — my hubby’s preferred — are both on the menu.
along of these, I’m serving sluggish Cooker Mashed Potatoes (no babysitting required; it'll live heat for some hours). and then I’ll finish the feast with this Apple Slab Pie.
Oh! whilst you’re at the store picking up mushrooms for the inexperienced bean casserole, be sure to get an pound for day after today’s meal, as nicely. accomplished, and accomplished! happy Thanksgiving!!
5 Sweet Potato, Mushroom, and Leftover Turkey Casserole:
Friday is food coma day. I’m taking it easy after a busy week with this Sweet Potato, Mushroom, Leftover Turkey Casserole. Having purchased and prepped most of the ingredients for this casserole during the week, I’m all set for a day of Christmas decorating in my jammies!
