I have to say that while I&#8217;m not necessarily thrilled November is here already, I am pretty excited for the holiday season.  We&#8217;ve been planning and organizing already in preparation, and it looks like November may actually be a pretty calm month.  I&#8217;m excited to get to baking, and we&#8217;re even having a mock Thanksgiving dinner this Friday.  I can&#8217;t wait to play with the leftovers.  Turkey leftovers are my favorite!<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">Remember when I said I was going to take less work and spend more time doing things I enjoy?  Mmm&#8230;yeah.  So, that may not have actually happened.  I may feel just as overwhelmed as I have for the last two weeks.  It is definitely possible.  I have to turn it around.  As a consequence of my workaholic nature, you&#8217;ll notice the enchiladas are being held over from last week.  I have a new plan of attack this week that involves scheduling my life commitments as if they were work.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><br clear=\"all\"><strong>Monday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/find.myrecipes.com\/recipes\/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&#038;recipe_id=523606\" target=\"_blank\">Tandoori cornish game hens<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalgourmet.com\/destinations\/india\/saffrice.html\" target=\"_blank\">saffron rice<\/a>, apple crisp!<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Tuesday \u2013 <\/strong>Beef enchiladas, roasted five-pepper salsa<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Wednesday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodsmarket.com\/recipes\/recipe.php?recipeId=361\" target=\"_blank\">Beer-braised roast<\/a>, roasted carrots and onions, spring mix salads<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Thursday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/french-toast-bake-make-me-now\" target=\"_blank\">French toast bake,<\/a> fruit salad<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Friday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/elise.com\/recipes\/archives\/000037moms_roast_turkey.php\" target=\"_blank\">Roasted turkey<\/a>, stuffing, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/recipe\/roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes-everyday-food\" target=\"_blank\">Martha&#8217;s roasted garlic mashed potatoes<\/a>, green beans\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Recipes to look for here at <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food for My Family<\/a> this week: Cardamom apple crisp and <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/caramelized-onions-and-blue-cheese-and-orecchiette-oh-my\" target=\"_blank\">caramelized onion and blue cheese pasta<\/a>.
