You know, now that I’m not blogging as much, I’ve found immense joy in cooking through other people’s recipes. After 10+ years of trying to make it as a blogger, I admit, it feels good to let that go and focus on something new — like this newsletter, and my freelance biz. Now that I’m not stressed about optimizing every single cooking opportunity (constantly testing recipes and feeling like I always need to be working on something new), I have all the freedom to try some of the delicious recipes that I keep saving online. And I’m loving it.
This month we are really leaning into fall. It’s a hard lean. Pumpkin and apple and squash…soup and sheet pan dinners and crunchy fall sandwiches and salads. These are essentially all of the recipes I’ve been dying to try this season, and I can barely wait to dig in.
I do have some of my former blog recipes linked here, but most of these recipes actually come from other recipe developers I trust and admire. With these meals, you’ll be getting a nice variety of foods each week, which is all part of my goal to try and eat over 30 different kinds of plants in a week for my gut health (you can read about it here!)
Each week includes one breakfast and lunch to prep, two dinners (rely on leftovers!), and a weekend brunch. Two out of the four weeks include a treat, which I find will last me two weeks depending on how much I make.
Keep your eye out for a Thanksgiving menu!
I’ve been working my little tooshie off to supply you with a robust Thanksgiving guide with lots of choices for each course of your day — because in my family, we do courses, and eating is an all-day activity. This is exclusive for paid subscribers only, and you’ll see it coming to your inbox sometime in early November.
Okay, happy coking!
