How was your Thanksgiving holiday (if you celebrate)? We had a lovely time. David and I did something different this year. We stayed in a hotel Wednesday night and had a delicious holiday meal at the hotel restaurant on Thursday. Then we had the kids over on Friday for our family meal. I’ll include a family pic at the end of this post and you can see more on Instagram. This week’s menu plan is an attempt to recover a bit from Thanksgiving!
Dee’s Menu Plan
Monday
- large tossed green salad with turkey, peppers, dried cranberries, croutons
- deviled eggs
- rolls
Tuesday
- turkey tacos
- chips and salsa
Wednesday
- Low Calorie Vegetable Soup (Instant Pot recipe)
- French bread
- fresh pineapple
Thursday
- cheeseburgers (on the grill if it’s warm enough)
- French fries
- baked beans
- fresh fruit
Friday
We are hosting the kickoff event for our non-profit. There will be live music and a catered dinner.
Saturday
Sunday
We’ll probably eat out somewhere or get take-out. We leave Monday on vacation so we will be busy packing.

Here’s my potential menu for this week…
Monday: Butternut squash risotto.
Tuesday: Pumpkin pasties.
Wednesday: Hash browns and scrambled eggs.
Thursday: Veggie bake.
Friday: Leftovers from Thursday.
I haven’t decided about Saturday and Sunday yet.
By the way, thanks for the butternut squash risotto recipe… It was delicious!
Oh, I’m glad you liked it. I need to make it again soon. Have a great week!
It’s kind of crazy that it’s the end of November and it’s still possible that it will be warm enough to grill ha. I tried to grill the other day but we were out of gas, oops.
The weather has been unusually warm until now but I’m not complaining.
