Week of November 22, 2021 - Weekly Meal Ideas


What are you thankful for this year?  We are thankful for YOU and, of course, for all the REAL FOOD we are blessed with!  With Thanksgiving exactly one week away, we have included some amazing, mouthwatering, impress-your-guest ideas to celebrate this holiday!

Naturally, we should start with the turkey, right?!  Just in case you need some inspiration for cooking a turkey, the Herb Roasted Turkey is simple and uses fresh herbs, lemons, oranges and onions to transform this into one juicy and delicious entrée!

We know everyone loves the traditional side dishes and desserts, but this is the perfect opportunity to try something new!  The Autumn Harvest Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash is the ideal way to enjoy a variety of in-season roasted vegetables ..the combination of flavors and textures definitely gives this dish a “WOW!” factor.  The Orange Ginger Cranberry Sauce, Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash or Spinach Salad with Apples and Sweet Spicy Nuts would also be huge hits at your holiday table!

We have lots of breakfast and sweet treat ideas for overnight guests, and one fantastic idea is to make the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (or Muffins) ahead of time (making them in muffin pans works great) for your guests to enjoy, then stand back and watch them disappear!

To get you thinking out of the box when it comes to leftover turkey ideas, we highly encourage you to try the Turkey Curry Salad with Apples, Cranberries and Walnuts — look for more leftover ideas coming to your inbox next Thursday!

Thank you for enjoying this REAL food journey with us — Happy early Thanksgiving!
