November is the month when the cozy vibes really hit. The days are short, the weather is miserable (hello, Vancouver Island!), and all I want is something warm and comforting bubbling away on the stove or roasting in the oven.
It's also the month when we start holiday menu planning, whether that be for a big Thanksgiving feast or getting a head start on your Christmas baking.
So this month's collection has a bit of everything. There are hearty soups and roasts for chilly weeknights, all the sides you need for a showstopping Thanksgiving table (stuffing, gravy, mash, sprouts, dinner rolls… the works!), plenty of pumpkin, cranberry and sweet potato goodness, and a few make-ahead festive classics. If you're a fellow Brit at heart, Stir-up Sunday falls on November 22nd this year, so it's the perfect time to get that Christmas pudding steaming and the Christmas cake fed!
Every recipe is tried and tested, so you can cook with confidence, whether it's a quiet Tuesday dinner or the biggest meal of the year. Grab a cup of tea, pop the oven on, and let's make November extra delicious! ♡
