Happy Friday. I hope everyone has had a great week. I have a few new recipes, plus a few reader favorites from around the internet and new Etsy finds. I really need to delete that app from my phone; itβs so dangerous!
Are you getting ready for your Thanksgiving feast? Make sure you visit the Thanksgiving collection on my site if you need ideas for what to add to your menu this year.
New recipes.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Soup
In my quest to become a veritable soup lady, I knew a creamy, dreamy sun-dried tomato chicken soup had to make its way into my recipe box. If youβre averse to rich stuff, just remove the cream. I made half with cream and half without, and both are fantastic.
Lemony Chicken Tomato Pasta
This lemony tomato chicken pasta is adorned with a zippy Parmesan-lemon zest mixture to give an oomph to each bite.

Roasted Monkfish with Coconut Pumpkin Puree
This recipe is one of my dark horses. I loved it when I originally developed the recipe, but posted it without much fanfare. Over the years, it seems to have picked up a following of monkfish devotees on Pinterest. I love that, and now I want to eat more monkfish because itβs a sustainable fish option and delicious, especially when it gilds an aromatic, coconutty, pumpkiny lily.
Chilean Sea Bass with Beurre Blanc
This has been a reader favorite for years. I originally developed this recipe seven years ago, and since then, Iβve had many people reach out and tell me this is a meal they return to every Christmas because itβs just so lovely. Youβll love the beurre blanc and scallops and the crisp, sweet sugar snap peas. You can also sous vide the Chilean sea bass as Laurie did!
Chicken Enchilada Soup Recipe
The context for the comment on the image: I posted my sun-dried tomato chicken soup recipe to Reddit. A commenter told me theyβd just finished eating their chicken enchilada soup leftovers, and that they were excited to try this recipe next. I replied that I loved enchilada soup. They wrote back and let me know they were about to send me the recipe until they realized it was my chicken enchilada soup recipe theyβd made! They told me they loved it and it sounds like theyβll be moving on to the sun-dried tomato chicken soup next.
If you havenβt made my chicken enchilada soup recipe, I highly recommend it. Itβs really comforting, and the broth is very worth the effort.
Meatball Soup with Pasta
This recipe is new and already making waves. It was my most visited recipe last week, and itβs already getting rave reviews! The reader above let me know that she froze it, and hopefully, weβll find out how it turned out! Iβm so happy that people are loving this one as much as I did.
A new addition to my family.
I received my Etsy order yesterday and am so excited to dig in. Iβll be doing a practice turkey this weekend (as long as Wegmans has fresh onesβ¦) and will be photographing my trial Thanksgiving dinner on my new platters. Iβm so excited to share the results with you! For now, I wanted to show you some of the pieces Iβve added to my collection.
Can you believe Iβve been stressing out over finding a gravy boat for the past, say, 5β6 years? Every November, I turkey trot myself over to Williams Sonoma and browse the gravy boats, thinking to myself: βThis is the year I buy a gravy boat.β They seem to only ever carry simple, unadorned white ones at my local store, which arenβt bad. But I feel like since the gravy boat is such a specific pieceβI mean, it has ONE purposeβI wanted it to have a little pizzazz. Iβve been serving gravy out of plain old bowls because I havenβt been able to make a decision about which boat to buy.
Iβm very excited that I finally have a gravy boat. The piece is from the 1950s with an intricate gold design that I love. The plate is attached to the boat, which also helped seal the deal on my decision to buy it. I also picked up a matching platter which Iβm hoping will be large enough for my turkey.
Iβve also spent a lot of time thinking about a carving set for the turkey, and I fell in love with this late 19th-century set with mother-of-pearl handles. They are marked with a Landers, Frary, & Clark Aetna Works engraving, so Iβd like to learn if these are from the late 1800s or early 1900s. Iβm just hoping the knife isnβt super dull, but maybe I can sharpen it. Regardless, I think itβs such a stunning set, and hopefully, itβs as usable as it is beautiful.
Whew! Thatβs all I have for this newsletter. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend filled with lots of tasty food. Byeeee! π π
