Hey y’all! How are you? I noticed last week we are still getting quite of few people only linking up recipes with no menu plan. So I thought I’d make mention of it at the beginning of this post rather than the end to see if that makes a difference 🙂 The purpose of this linky is for sharing menu plans. We all want to see what you’re eating each day. If you want to share recipes along with your weekly menu plan that’s totally fine. Thanks!
Potluck:
You’ll see that I’ve got a potluck to attend this week. I would love to know if you have a tried and true go to potluck recipe that you always use? If you do please feel free to share the link in the comments. I’d love to put together a great potluck round-up.
Thanksgiving Printables:
So those of you in the US will be celebrating Thanksgiving this month. As you all know I’m a HUGE fan of printables and these free Thanksgiving ones I found just had to be shared. They are so cute! Huge thanks to Barb from Second Chance to Dream for sharing all of these for free!

I love the colors that were used in the Thanksgiving printables!
Thanks for hosting, Laura! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to link up, and I can’t even tell you how great it is to be back! If someone told me years ago that I’d ever actually look forward to meal planning, I’d never have believed him! My week always goes much more smoothly when I plan. It still blows my mind!
Have a wonderful week!

Thanks for hosting! I love going to potlucks but what I take along depends on the audience. My tried and true appetizer is a simple cheese ball. 2 packages of cream cheese blended with one package of Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing mix. Form into ball and roll in toasted almonds or pecans or I’ve even left the nuts off and just rolled it in fresh herbs. Best if it is refrigerated overnight but works with just a few hours. Easy and addictive.
Bea says
For potlucks I take a Watercress Tofu Salad. Watercress, Bean Sprouts, Green Onion, Tofu (cubed), Tomatoes. Add a Sesame/Miso/Soy dressing when serving.
Patty Hall says
Hi! This is my first time linking my menu to here. Not sure if I did it right.
I usually take a chicken/broccoli casserole to a potluck. It’s easy to put together and easy to carry. Or something in the crockpot , like a stew or chili, then you can just take the crockpot and plug it in there to keep warm
Erin says
That quinoa apple salad looks delicious!
Flossie says
I love Paula Deen’s pineapple casserole for potlucks. It’s my go-to. I never have any left-overs!

Laura says
Oh that sounds so interesting! Do you eat it as a dessert?
Flossie says
Well…it’s sweet enough that I guess you could. But here in the South we just eat is as a side. 😉
