Week’s Eats
So many good recipes this week! Where do I even start? One of the highlights was the ravioli - that recipe is just so easy, tasty, and feels so sophisticated (I think it is because of that brown butter). I am also adding the Roast Chicken with Grapes and Acorn Squash to the permanent rotation. Something about that roast grape and chicken combo that makes it a total winner.
Since next week is Thanksgiving I am going to take the week off from documenting my Week’s Eats because lets be honest, I am just going to be eating Thanksgiving food all week long, but will be back chronicling it the following week.

Sunday Prep
Ravioli
Make the brown butter. Cover and store in the fridge. When ready to eat it just rewarm the butter over low or in the microwave.
Miso Ginger Salmon
Make the marinade and store in the fridge
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Make the soup base and store in the fridge. Fry off the tortilla strips, if using, as well as roast off the chicken. Store the chicken in the fridge and the tortilla strips in an air tight container at room temperature.
Roast Chicken with Grapes and Acorn Squash
Diced up the leek and acorn squash
If you haven’t roasted grapes before, I strongly urge you to try this recipe. I am not a huge fan of raw grapes - they were just never really my thing but by roasting them, you bring out all of these complex sweet and savory flavors that elevate whatever you are cooking them with. I like to pair them with something neutral like chicken, although they would be rally good with a pork loin as well. I had half an acorn squash leftover from making baby food so I threw that in there as well. The result is a deeply rich and hearty meal that comes together all in one dish.
