MONDAY:
TUESDAY:
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY:
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
- Takeout night

Week 760 Weekly Menu
Long time no talk! The day after Thanksgiving marked the beginning of floor demolition in our house. Unsurprisingly, the past week has been insane. Hence, no menu plan last week. But we have our kitchen back now (yay!) and we are sick to death of eating out/spending money on takeout. It’s time to get back in the kitchen! Also, we have wood floors now and I feel so grateful and excited.
MONDAY:
TUESDAY:
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
SATURDAY:
- Takeout night
SUNDAY:
Please share your menus/recipes/meal plans in the comments below! It’s good to be back, looking forward to seeing what you’ve got cooking!

Week 759 Menu + Thanksgiving!
You know what is amazing about having family live nearby, something we’ve never had until two years ago? Thanksgiving cooking help! Not only do I not have to cook everything, but we get even more food. It’s a dream.
MONDAY – WEDNESDAY:
- NO IDEA. We are painting our kitchen, which has to get done before our floors start getting ripped out on Saturday, plus, you know, Thanksgiving. Our cupboards are currently bare and I have no idea when we’ll get to the store. Good luck, Maynard children!
2022 THANKSGIVING FEAST
- Turkey (dry brined, spatchcocked and roasted + smoked)
- Gravy
- Stuffing + GF Vegetarian Stuffing
- Mashed potatoes
- Cheese board
- Brussels sprouts gratin
- Green beans
- Sausage rolls
- Marshmallow fruit salad
- Sweet potato souffle
- Homemade crescent rolls + GF almond millet rolls from a local bakery
- Cranberry sauce
- Cranberry slush (traditional family drink)
- Pumpkin pie
- Apple pie
- French silk pie
- Bread pudding
THURSDAY – SUNDAY:
- Leftovers + floors getting ripped out kicking off a week of pure insanity…but no more cream-colored carpet! Woohoo!
Share your menus for the week! And definitely share your Thanksgiving plans along with links to recipes if you have them. Can’t wait to see what everyone has cooking!
