Do you have a book club? I’ve been thinking of how I’d love one with girlfriends, or maybe a “soup group,” as just an excuse to get together without an assignment per se. I would make this spiced chickpea stew below because it is warm and chunky and checks all the dietary boxes for allergies and such. Or if my sister and her husband were coming over, I’d make the tacos. She loves carrots and they turned us on to getting a Traeger in the first place. My brother in law is also an enthusiastic taco lover. My point is, this is your monthly nudge to invite people in. Feed them, make them feel welcome. It doesn’t matter if all your dishes are put away or if you’ll have to put a movie on to keep the kids quiet enough to finish a sentence.

Our Thanksgiving menu will be up next Friday and I think you all will really love it. Until then, enjoy this vegetable heavy menu :) Have a great weekend!
