Fall Cooking and Meal plans

Hi Friends! November is already half over and Thanksgiving will be here next week. Are you all ready for the festivities? We will be hosting but it’s going to be a potluck style gathering so I don’t stress about the food part. Hubs and I are in charge of mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Anyways, I wanted to share what I’ve been cooking this month, and what I plan to cook the rest of November. November is a birthday month for me and Hubs so I anticipate that we will be eating out a couple of times for the rest of the month!

Pork Tonkatsu! We really enjoyed this dish. I plan to make this again soon.

I made simple spaghetti (RAO’S sauce is the best!)
Korean chicken wings is one of me and hubs fave!
Fry the wings and I use this sauce.
Salisbury steaks with mushroom gravy (paired with rice)
Searing beef short ribs
vegetables for my short ribs

Beef short ribs in red wine sauce.
Chicken tenders! We all enjoyed this with chic-fil-a sauce!
Green beans and pork belly adobo

Pork belly in shrimp paste with mango

Rib eye steak and mushroom

Chicken marsala, disappointing! We didn’t like the recipe I found online! Oh well!

Filipino style chicken curry

Baked salmon

We shopped at Trader Joe’s for this weeks grocery. We didn’t get any meat there. We still have a lot from Costco and we also stopped at our local meat market. We paid $111 at Trader joes. We got our milk this week from our local dairy farm.

The junk chips will last us for a while.

We have simple breakfasts like eggs/toasts/cereals/hash browns. Nothing complicated. Our lunches are usually left overs, sandwiches, cheese and crackers!

I plan to cook simple meals in the coming days because I really want to eat a lot of our freezer meals before Thanksgiving week and it’s our birthday month. We will probably have breakfast for dinner kind of nights and snacky food like sandwiches, charcuterie,etc.

Have a great Monday evening friends and Take care!
