Happy Friday! We are officially in holiday menu mode!! Today’s newsletter is a full approachable, delicious, gluten-free holiday dinner plan, start to finish.
After polling in our chat, pork was a popular protein request—which honestly made me so happy. I’ve been wanting to mix up my protein rotation lately and finding so much joy in going just a bit out of the usual. As always, this holiday menu is easy to cook through (thanks to the prep plan included) and uses nutrient-rich seasonal ingredients. It’s designed to serve 4—perfect for a small gathering—or multiply as needed for bigger groups!
In today’s post you’ll find the entire holiday menu, including the star smoky brown sugar pork tenderloin, parsnip puree, a winter cabbage slaw (or salad, whatever you prefer), and very fun drink and dessert pairings. Plus, you know I’d never leave you without a complete grocery list and prep day plan to make hosting feel manageable (and enjoyable!). Whether you’re hosting friends, family, or just want a holiday-style dinner without the chaos, this menu has you covered.
And! Scroll all the way to the bottom for this week’s meal prep plan, which gives you two breakfast and two lunch recipes that are freezer-friendly, good for serving a crowd, and packed with nourishing ingredients for a busy holiday week.
