Dates, Pears, Chickens and Sweet Potatoes - Yum 😋
Happy 1st of the month, Fancies. Hope everyone's Halloween was an amazing one. Let's get into what to cook this week.
Broccoli and Pear Salad
Pears are in season right now. Instead of eating them raw, try throwing them into a salad with broccoli. I would make this pear salad with a green goddess dressing. Get the recipe here.
Sweet Potatoes and Bacon
If you're not going home for Thanksgiving this year, start practicing how to make this. Get the recipe here.
Roast Chicken
This is one of my favorite things to make because of how versatile it is. Throw on a salad, or with some grains (like farro or freekeh) or eat on it's own. However you spice your bird (I only use salt), crank your oven to 475F > cook your bird for 15-20 mins > lower the heat down to 375F and get the internal temperature of your chicken to 165F.

Kajur Burfi
This is a naturally sweet dessert that's easy to make and easy on the belly. I'd skip the ghee (think it adds too much flavor) and roast the nuts in the pan without fat. Get the full recipe here.
