Monday

Technically it’s still the weekend, right?! So, J is planning dinner this night.

Tuesday

Ham and Bean Soup

I have made this before and it is SO good! Do be sure to add the correct broth, though, or it can be too salty

Wednesday

Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes and Zucchini 

This is always a hit- I tend to use summer sausage

By: Baker by Nature

Mexican Street Corn Chicken 

The minute I saw this recipe a certain song came to mind and I may have ordered something. It should be here by this day, but if not this may be postponed a day or two. I am already giggling.

Always a combo of leftovers, J cooking, or going out.

This week is all about Thanksgiving, and I have rounded up some tried-and-true recipes that my own friends have recommended. So they must be good, right?! I know I am excited to try them!

Cranberry Salsa

This looks like the perfect appetizer and according to my friend, Jenna, is absolutely delicious! My friend, Stacey, also mentioned that Trader Joes makes a fresh version of this as well, so whether homemade or purchased, this looks like a winner!

Cooking with Curls

Buttermilk-Brined Turkey

Can William’s Sonoma really go wrong? My friend, Kelly, has made this turkey recipe for six straight years and says everyone raves about it.

William’s Sonoma

Chorizo and Cornbread Stuffing 

I am not a stuffing fan, and never have been. But you GUYS! This seriously looks AMAZING! Thank you for the recipe, Megan!

Whiskey-Glazed Carrots

I am not sure the Pioneer Woman has EVER gone wrong, and with two friends backing this recipe up, it’s GOT to be a hit! Thanks for the recipe, Ashley!

The Pioneer Woman

Delilah’s 7 Cheese Mac and Cheese

My family loves macaroni. And we also love fine cheeses. This looks heavenly! Thank you, Lauralie!

Food Network

Green Bean Casserole from Scratch 

High Heels and Grills

Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow and Pecal Streussal 

My friend, Heather, described a sweet potato casserole recipe that her family always loves, and it sounded pretty close to this one and I am already drooling. How decadent!

Celebrating Sweets

Apple Crisp

Want a little twist on the traditional apple pie recipe? This one is being raved about and looks delicious! Thank you, Megan!

Joy the Baker

Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This looks like a straight-forward, easy, yummy pumpkin pie. Or, buy Costco’s. Either way, I think you’ll come out a winner

I Wash, You Dry

Need a last-minute, quick centerpiece idea? Throw a candle in a vase and surround it with cranberries. Cheap and EASY!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It took me a while to find my recipes this week, as some others that looked tasty were too complicated or had too many steps; and that just does not work for me! So, rest assured, these are EASY!

Monday

Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs

If you’ve got spaghetti-lovers in your house, this looks like a winner! To make it healthier, try subbing spaghetti squash for the noodles.

Joy in Every Season

Tuesday

BBQ Chicken Tostadas

My family loves these. EASY.

Cupcakes and Kale Chips

Date night! = Leftovers for kiddos

Thursday

Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup

I totally screwed up a recipe last week that involved butternut squash by buying frozen, pre-diced squash thinking (actually, not thinking) I was totally winning at life by skipping the dicing stage, but didn’t realize when I bought it that it wouldn’t thaw in its original form. Instead, it was mushy. So, I had to improvise and make it without the squash and was left with a bunch of mush. I looked up this recipe, stopped by the store on the way home the next day, made this soup Friday night and it was DELICIOUS!

Damn Delicious

Friday/Saturday/Sunday

Always a mystery!

Fall is officially here, and so are all the goodies that come with it, like cooler weather and unfortunately, a cold. Some good comfort food is needed around here and these recipes are sure to please.

Monday

Turkey Pot Pie Soup

I used to eat SO many Chicken Pot Pies as a kid. I LOVED them. I still do! So this is soooo calling my name.

UPDATE- I made this tonight with the coconut cream and am not a fan. It was smelling SO good before I added the coconut cream and I think would be delicious with the real cream. I would also double this recipe.

Tuesday

Butternut Sausage Bake with Kale Tomato Cream 

This just screams Fall.

Wednesday

Date night! = Grilled cheese and tomato soup for the kiddos

Thursday

Mexican Chicken, Sweet Potato and Black Bean Skillet

We all really enjoyed this the last time I made it. Time for a repeat! Note-if you have littles sensitive to spice, leave out the chili powder  and maybe even the green chilis.

Also note-read the part about the sweet potatoes before you begin as they need extra time. I now just roast them in the oven for about 35-40 mins on 400 and that takes care of that!

I am sure pizza will be involved…
