This is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year for meal planning. I love cozy comfort food and it’s so easy to think of meals that pair well with colder weather! Because most of these main dishes already have a starchy/carby component like pasta or bread, I usually just fix salads or cut up fresh fruit to go with the meal.
Here’s pretty much everything I made in November. It was a delicious month!

When I’m looking for meal ideas, I start with my Main Dishes Pinterest board (above). It helps me to think of recipes I can make with the proteins I have on hand. When it comes to cookbooks, there are three that I reach for on a regular basis.
These would make great Christmas or hostess gifts. Pair it with a pretty dish towel or a candle, and you’re set.
I hope you’re enjoying cozy food season as much as I am! ❤
