Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan 138

December 6, 2019

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the first dinner divas weekly meal plan of December. We’re gearing up for holiday baking. As you’ll see, we have two delicious desserts this week that are full of holiday flavors. I for one, can’t wait for all of the Christmas cookies that will be baked and eaten in the next few weeks.

Each week, the dinner divas strive to create a menu plan that will help you get dinner on the table. We feature recipes that are family-friendly, not too time-consuming or difficult and delicious.

We hope that this helps you, as you are planning your menus for the week ahead, to get inspired, to get in the kitchen and cook a few new recipes and most of all, to have fun doing it.

Fresh Cranberry Chutney

November 25, 2019

Cranberry chutney is a sweet and sour condiment made with fresh cranberries, onions, ginger and orange zest. It is a great topping for crostini as an appetizer, but is also delicious on baked chicken. If you love the combination of cranberries and orange, try this Cranberry Orange Upside Down Cake. For even more cranberry goodness, this Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad is one of our go-to lunches.

This recipe for cranberry chutney makes 4 cups (or 1 quart), so it is perfect for gifting to friends and neighbors. Tie a pretty ribbon around a glass jar and take some with you as a hostess gift for holiday parties.

Potato Spinach Casserole

November 19, 2019

Cheesy Mashed Potato Spinach Casserole is perfect for your holiday table. Mashed potatoes combined with parmesan cheese, onions, garlic and spinach make this casserole extra delicious! If you really want to up your mashed potato game, try this aligot recipe for the cheesiest mashed potatoes you’ll ever eat.

Generally speaking, I’m a mashed potato purist. I love butter, cream and a hefty pinch of salt in my mashed potatoes. But, every now and then I get out of my own way and try something new. I’m glad I did because this potato spinach casserole is delicious.

It is creamy and cheesy, but not overpoweringly so, and because it has spinach, I feel a little better about the cream and cheese.

This recipe for potato spinach casserole is sponsored by my friends at Idaho® Potato.  I am so pleased to work with them. As always, all opinions, recipe and photos are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Pook’s Pantry.

Stuffed Hubbard Squash Recipe

November 14, 2019

Nothing beats this stuffed hubbard squash recipe for the perfect autumnal dinner. Beautiful Hubbard squash filled with wild rice, baby kale and golden raisins, it is a healthy and filling dinner. Ready in about an hour, mostly hands-off cooking time, this is a great low key recipe. If you love stuffed squash, try this quinoa stuffed acorn squash.

Hubbard squash flesh is slightly drier than acorn or butternut and it is a bit earthier in flavor. The bluish-gray color and deep orange flesh is beautiful and makes for a striking contrast.

Any kind of roasted squash is, for me, the perfect fall food and if you like to change up for your holiday side dishes, this would be a great addition to the meal.

Aligot Recipe – cheesy mashed potatoes

November 6, 2019

Imagine the cheesiest mashed potatoes you’ve ever had. Potatoes that are so cheesy, they stretch! They are called “aligot” in French and they are amazing. You only need a handful of ingredients for this aligot recipe. These French mashed potatoes belong on your holiday table, just like classic bread stuffing.

After you make this aligot recipe, you may never want to go back to regular mashed potatoes again!

Classic Bread Stuffing

November 4, 2019

Classic bread stuffing is as synonymous with Thanksgiving as turkey. Cubes of dried bread mixed with celery, onions and sage are baked in the oven until golden brown. It is my favorite Thanksgiving side dish, along with the easiest 5 ingredient corn casserole that everyone loves. bread stuffing in white casserole dish with sage leaves

As we are all gearing up for this holiday, the only one that is all about food, I am planning our Thanksgiving menu. 

Butternut squash arugula salad, turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, melting potatoes with garlic and herbs, gravy, pumpkin pie and cranberry upside down cake. 

I may even make a few pumpkin rum balls for after dinner. Can you really ask for anything else? Carbs with a side of carbs. (it’s one day, indulge!)

Are you ready for the most delicious taco? These pumpkin tacos are not only vegan, they are also gluten-free.
