This is the 45th edition of the weekly 30-minute menus for 2010. These are published on a weekly basis; I like to develop the weekly menus on Thursday or Friday, grocery shop on Saturday, and start the week's menus on Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving! It is hard for me to believe T-Day will be here this week! This week's menus are guaranteed to be on the table in 30 minutes - flat so you can spend your time getting ready for the holidays!
My family is coming in Wednesday evening so I am creating a buffet with the Super Supper Stuffed Spuds menu; folks can mix and match their spud stuffings as they want! Both prep and clean-up are a snap with this super supper.
Saturday's menu of Dilly Tilapia Bundles is made so easy using Puff Pastry. It is easy enough for family yet fancy enough for company. I love serving this menu for company because it is so quick and tasty!
Thanksgiving dinner of Glazed Cornish Hens with Pecan Stuffing is a treat for the whole family - including the cook. I will be serving this appetizer course for a great start to this meal: a Camembert Round; Shrimp Cocktail with Tamarind Coconut Curry; Endive, Snow Peas, Asparagus Spears, Bell Peppers with Pineapple Chipotle Salsa; Sea Salt Pita Chips and Simple Water Crackers; Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds.
You will find that I use several cooking methods, mix and match, to get dinner on the table quickly! (The ingredients in parenthesis show some of my quick-prep steps.) You can always substitute your favorite made-from-scratch recipes when you have more time.
I hope you have a great week!

http://MomsMealConnection.com is designed to help busy moms everywhere prepare meals - family meals, holiday celebrations, and special dinners plus entertaining - through recipe and meal planning links. Most of the links are fast, fun, and free to use. Who has time to waste searching endlessly through the web? Certainly not us moms!
I am the mother of five grown children who are now starting families of their own so to say that I have 'been there, done that' is an understatement! My trick is to plan weekly menus and grocery shop only once per week. I am a firm believer that once-a-week meal planning and grocery shopping saves a lot of time and money! We can all use more of those commodities.
I sincerely hope you have fun with your meal planning and preparation, Elizabeth Randall and Family
