As I noted last week, we are busy unpacking in our new home. After a month filled with takeout and meals that were thrown together from convenience foods, we’re ready for a normal menu!
Thankfully, our weather has cooled, so we are also ready for fall favorites such as casseroles and soups. Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is later this month! I’m not sure how we got so far into the year (the last couple of months are a bit of a blur). We will have a subdued holiday because we are recovering from the move, but we still have much for which to give thanks.
Here are the dinners we plan to enjoy this month (you can see previous menus here).

What are your plans for this month? What fall favorites will you be eating? Are you trying anything new for Thanksgiving?
I’m hoping to try that lemon pepper chicken! We aren’t big fans of mushrooms, but they are so healthy that I’m trying to slowly integrate mushrooms into our meals-and that dish looks delicious (we love lemon pepper!). I hope you are able to settle into life and enjoy some normal meals-I totally hear you on being ready for home-cooked meals; we just did a roadtrip/vacation with relatives and after the first couple days of eating at restaurants or doing takeout, we were more than ready to make some homemade meals at our air bnb!
One great thing about that lemon pepper chicken dish is that the mushrooms aren’t overwhelming. Hopefully it’ll be a tasty way to integrate them into your diet.
I always find it a treat to eat out, but then after a few days of it (while on a trip or moving), it does get old!
