A Week At A Time – Meal Ideas!

Happy Sunday! We’re inching closer to Christmas, while Hanukkah has already begun. I love holidaytime because it’s bursting with friends, family and festivties loaded with delicious food and drinks.

This week we’re starting Monday off with Roasted Butternut Squash, Poblano and Rice Soup. It’s loaded with fall flavors and the poblano chilies give it a mild kick that’s truly pleasurable. Tuesday is taco night, but I’m in the mood for Mexican Tamale Pie. The masa harina crust makes it authentically tasty — and gives it true tamale flavor. Wednesday is Slow-Cooker Morrocan Beef and Potato Stew. A meal that is loaded with warming spices and especially delicious this time of the year. Thursday evening is a Seared Salmon Salad with Warm Escarole and Andouille Vinaigrette. A hardy salad with winter greens and fresh salmon tossed with a slightly spicy dressing. Friday night is a great evening for Mushroom Brie Bites to serve with cocktails or mocktails during the holiday season. Saturday’s are for baking and I love my Gluten-Free Eggnog Pound Cake for any holiday gathering or to give away as a gift. Have a merry week ahead.
