FREE HOME PLANNER
SAMPLE!
The PPP 2024 November Recipe Calendar is here and it is sooooo fun!!! Fall is finally here in full force, and I am loving simple meals at home. We chose Five Ingredients or Less, Freezer Meals (for Freezer Friday) PLUS Celebration meals for the Thanksgiving menu! I am so ready to have a few simpler meals before we go into the holiday season. 🙂
This little idea to share the calendar has become more and more fun each month, and adding in our SIDES MENUS makes it extra special.
Here's what's on the menu plan this month:
Week of November 3rd:Â
- Monday – Pepper Jelly Bacon-Wrapped Chicken + Broccoli Cornbread
- Tuesday – Cool Ranch Crunch Wraps
- Wednesday – Creamy Italian Chicken + Zucchini with Balsamic Glaze
- Thursday – Pesto Naan Pizzas
- Friday – French Toast Bake (Freezer Friday Week 3)
- Saturday – Leftover Buffet + Macaroon Ice Cream Torte
Week of November 11th:
- Monday – Mango Salsa Pork Chops (5 Ingredients or Less) This one comes together quickly and feels so fancy! Look for the mango salsa in your Mexican aisle – it's on aisle 3 at my local store.Â
- Tuesday – Chicken Chorizo Street Tacos (5 Ingredients or Less)  Grab some chips and salsa and have Taco Tuesday at home this week.
- Wednesday – Simple Chicken and Rice Casserole + Garlic Green Beans Almondine (5 Ingredients or Less, Sides Menu Plan) Lots of flavor in this simple dish.
- Thursday – Baked Rueben Sandwiches (5 Ingredients or Less) If you have picky eaters, you can easily adjust this one to make it work for you and your bunch.Â
- Friday – Spicy Honey-Baked Salmon + Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potatoes (5 Ingredients or Less,Sides Menu Plan) You can also easily switch this to chicken (or another fish).Â
- Saturday – Leftover Buffet + Easy Chocolate Mousse (5 Ingredients or Less) Needs to refrigerate for 2 hours, but the wait is worth it!
Week of November 18th
- Monday – Italian Shrimp over Polenta + Brussels Sprouts au Gratin (5 Ingredients or Less,  Sides Menu Plan)Get out of your comfort zone a little on this one – Cheree promises this one's amazing!

- Wednesday – Pizza Pinwheels (5 Ingredients or Less) A favorite with kids! Serve up some fruit or a salad for a super simple meal.

- Friday – Canadian Bacon and Egg Cup Muffins (5 Ingredients or Less) You can't go wrong with breakfast for dinner!
- Saturday – Leftover Buffet + Apple Kuchen Bars (5 Ingredients or Less) Your favorite flavors of fall in one simple dessert.
Week of N0vember 25th

OMW…..thank you SOOOO much. Is there a standard place on the PPP website that I should look to find these? I feel like I looked all over and couldn’t find.
Thanks for sharing your November menu plan. Are most of your recipes quick, like 30min or less?
