Meal Plan // Week of November 11, 2024

Fall is marching right along, the holidays are around the corner and I’m counting the days until our daughter comes home from college.  I’m planning on all the meals and treats I can stuff her with (and her friends!) while she’s home… Until then, I’ll continue to nourish my hubby and boys with meals to get them through these busy fall weeks.  This upcoming week look particularly hectic, especially in the evenings. Planning ahead is key because everyone still needs to eat!

Cheers and happy cooking,

Christina

This week’s recipes:

1

Fish Tacos with Citrus Jicama Slaw

A very easy meal that my whole family loves. Quick cooking flavorful fish that can be tucked into tortillas or piled on top of shredded cabbage.

2

Chicken Shawarma Salad

An absolute staple in our house and one we have yet to get tired of. Roasting the chicken in the oven is easy but we’ve also used our air fryer for beautifully crispy chicken.

3

Slow Cooker Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger Recipe

This is such a tasty quick meal to throw together in the morning and let it cook all day. We will make rice bowls with roasted brussels sprouts, quick pickled cucumber and red onion and a drizzle of sriracha. Leftovers are delicious!

4

Lemony Feta Turkey Meatballs

A Food Family Friends favorite that I haven't made in awhile. Flavorful, healthy and a great main dish to pair with some roasted fall vegetables like delicata squash and brussels sprouts.

Bonus recipes I’m making this week:

5

Maple Oat Nut Scones

One of my original recipes from over 20 years ago! It’s a delicious treat I’ll be making for my family on Monday morning as they get to sleep in for the holiday.

6

Smoky Shakshuka with Spinach and Feta

I have a hiking date with my hubby this week and Shakshuka is a perfect post-hike meal. It’s a dish we both love and crave often – but it will taste especially delicious after a cool fall morning hike! A thick slice of rustic country loaf from our local bakery and it ranks pretty high on our list of favorite mornings.
