Embracing November: A Season of Comfort, Celebration, and Healthy Holiday Prep

There’s a special kind of magic that November brings. As Halloween’s spooky fun fades, the crisp, cool embrace of fall weather takes full hold, setting the perfect stage for the highly anticipated holiday season. Unlike the bittersweet feeling that often accompanies the end of other major holidays, November feels like a delightful gateway, ushering in a string of my absolute favorite celebrations. Adding to the joy, my husband and I both celebrate our birthdays this month (mine happens to be this very week!), and our youngest was born in December, making the tail end of the year a truly festive and memorable time.

This period also marks the ideal moment to indulge in two delightful pursuits: savoring hearty, comforting meals and “auditioning” new Thanksgiving and Christmas recipes. Over the coming weeks and meal plans, I’m thrilled to share some of my go-to holiday dishes, giving you a chance to test them out in your own kitchen. My sincere hope is that you’ll fall head over heels for these recipes and proudly incorporate them into your family’s holiday traditions. Rest assured, these are not just delicious; they are also thoughtfully crafted healthier alternatives that absolutely deserve a spot at your festive table! This week, I’ve included two perennial holiday favorites: my Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole and my Crispy Shaved Brussels Sprouts. Both are mainstays at my holiday gatherings, yet they are simple enough to whip up as nutritious weeknight sides. Get ready to enjoy a week of amazing flavors!

Tips for Successful Meal Prepping This Week

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable week of healthy eating, consider these helpful meal prepping tips:

  • Chop Veggies Ahead: On Sunday, chop all your onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower (if not using pre-riced). Store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Pre-Cook Grains/Proteins: If time allows, cook your ground beef/turkey for the soup and taco meat in advance.
  • Batch Cook Sides: The Sweet Potato Casserole and Crispy Brussels Sprouts are great for making in larger batches and enjoying as sides throughout the week.
  • Seasoning Mixes: Pre-mix your taco seasoning and chili seasoning to save time during cooking.
  • Containerize: Portion out your meals into individual containers immediately after cooking to make grab-and-go lunches and dinners a breeze.
  • Review Your List: Always check your pantry before grocery shopping to avoid buying duplicates and ensure you have all necessary staples.
