What to Cook this Week

​

​

​

​
​Happy weekend!

My birthday is technically next week, but we're celebrating this weekend. Miguel and I went out to dinner last night, and tonight we're going over to my moms house where she's making dinner and my favorite apple crisp. YUM!

As always, I'm sharing my newest recipes with you, and a few extras. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

---

​Chicken Stir Fry

Easy Chicken Stir Fry is a quick and healthy weeknight meal! Made with chicken, frozen stir fry vegetables and a flavorful sauce, the entire dish is ready in under 20 minutes! Couldn't be easier to make and clean up is a breeze!

​

​

​Grain-Free Granola

Easy Grain-Free Granola is made with nuts, seeds and nut butter. It's crunchy, sweet, full of healthy fats, and delicious on its own or on top of yogurt. Also makes for an amazing on-the-go snack!

​

​

​French Onion Chicken

French Onion Chicken tastes like your favorite french onion soup, but in chicken form. The chicken is cooked completely in a skillet, then topped with caramelized onions and cheese, making it a cozy, flavorful meal. YUM!

​

​

​Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes​

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes give traditional mashed potatoes a run for their money! They're made with only four ingredients and are super creamy and Paleo+Whole30-approved. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

​

​

​Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops​

These Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops are pan-seared and ready in about 8 minutes, then topped with a dairy-free cream of mushroom sauce, making this recipe Paleo/Whole30, too! A "fancy" dinner that's quite easy to prepare but tastes exquisite!

​

​

​Chai Spice Vegan Pear Pie​

This Chai Spice Vegan Pear Pie combines the best of both worlds: chai spices with caramelized pears, all packed into a flakey, buttery vegan pie crust. Nothing better than a fruit pie with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream!

'Tis the season for holiday parties! Let's talk about being a good guest. If your host has left you with the ambiguous "just bring yourself" or "bring anything you'd like" instructions, then you're likely confused and unsure of what to bring. Let me help you! I've been hosting Friendsgiving for 10+ years, and I'm ALWAYS grateful when my guests bring these things. 1. Containers for Leftovers. If your host typically sends you home with leftovers, then they would LOVE for you to arrive with arms full of containers that they can fill (I'll take one with turkey, Chestnut Stuffing, and Drop Biscuits). This saves them the burden of using their containers or purchasing some themselves. 2. A Bottle of Your Favorite Alcohol. An extra bottle of wine, case of beer, or bottle of spirits is the perfect thing to bring when you have no other ideas. Offer to serve it to other guests upon your arrival, or allow the hosts to keep it at the end of the party for their enjoyment. (For a certain crowd-pleaser, bring a big batch of Apple Cider Cocktails or Rum Punch.) 3. Useful Household Items. Yes, this one may feel strange, but your host will be grateful AND you won't have to show up empty-handed. Compile a bag full of household items that your host will be using in excess for the meal (dish soap, trash bags, cute cocktail napkins, kitchen towels, etc.). 4. Fancy Home Items. Bringing a small gift for the host that they wouldn't typically purchase themselves: a beautiful bouquet (bring it in a vase so they don't have to scramble for one in the middle of cooking), a cookbook with your favorite recipes (The Well Plated Cookbook makes an excellent gift!), or a fancy fall candle is always welcome. 5. Breakfast for the Next Day. After hosting a gathering, your hosts would likely love to not worry about making breakfast the next day. Prepare a dish (like Pumpkin Coffee Cake, Spinach Quiche, Apple Turnovers or Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls) that they can reheat and enjoy!
