| Happy weekend, AK fam! And hello December! I truly can't believe we've entered the last month of 2023 -- what a wild ride this year has been. Tony and I are taking a much-needed little getaway this week to recharge before the end of the year and I couldn't be more excited. Big things are coming in 2024 (hint: it's cookbook time!) AK Cookie Week: I LOVED sharing amazing new cookie recipes with you this week! Reminder that you have until 12/10 to make any Ambitious Kitchen cookie recipe and post a photo of it on Instagram or in our Facebook Group with the hashtag #AKCookieWeek for a chance to win this gorgeous Cuisinart 50th Anniversary Edition Food Processor. I packed in the veggies and protein for you this week as the perfect way to boost nutrition after a big holiday + endless cookies. These recipes are great for meal prep and feeding the whole family!

5 recipes to cook this week Breakfast: Chai-Spiced Butternut Squash Smoothie Butternut squash? In a smoothie? YES. This creamy, dreamy butternut squash smoothie is filled with cozy chai spices and is packed with healthy fats & protein to keep you full until lunch 
Lunch: The Best Minestrone Soup There's truly nothing better than a warm bowl of veggie-packed minestrone soup on a cold day. My version has tender pasta, tons of vegetables, and a boost of protein from kidney beans. Serve with garlic bread for the perfect lunch. 
Snack: Healthy Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Muffins Squash in smoothies and now sweet potato in muffins?! We're gettin' wild over here. These deliciously fluffy muffins are naturally sweetened with maple syrup (and the sweet potato itself!) and make such a nourishing snack. 
Dinner: Cheddar-Stuffed Sweet Potato BBQ Turkey Meatloaf This extra savory turkey meatloaf is slathered in BBQ sauce and stuffed with melty cheddar cheese! Shredded sweet potato makes it extra moist, and it's the perfect protein-packed dinner for busy weeks. 
Dessert: Healthy Homemade Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies Looking for a fun cookie to bring to your cookie exchange (or make for our Cookie Week prize?) Try these super cute, grain free fudge striped shortbread cookies! Such a fun take on those classic Keebler favorites.
