30 Easy November Dinner Ideas: Week by Week

Here’s a look at all 30 dinners, broken out week by week so you can see exactly what’s coming up.

Week 4: November 22 to 28

This is Thanksgiving week, and it is a big one. Smoked Ribeyes and BBQ Poor Mans Burnt Ends kick it off, then Garlic Steak Bites and a Baked Ham with Herby Breadcrumb Topping. The main event is my Easy Roast Turkey Recipe on Thursday, with Turkey Pot Pie and Spinach Ham Quiche Lorraine to use up every last bit of the leftovers.

Week 5: November 29 to 30

We wrap up the month simple. Sour Cream Chicken makes an easy Sunday, and a big pot of Beef and Barley Stew carries you into December.

FAQs

Is the November meal plan free?
Yes. The whole thing is free to download. Click the button, grab the PDF, and print it or save it to your phone. No sign-up is required, though if you want it sent straight to your inbox every month you can join the email list.
How many recipes are in the plan?
There are 30 dinners, one for every day of November. They come from ten different food bloggers, so you get a real range of flavors and cooking styles instead of the same few meals on repeat.
Do I have to cook the recipes in order?
Not at all. The calendar is just a starting point. Move meals around, skip the ones that do not fit your week, and repeat your favorites. Think of it as a menu, not a rulebook.
Can I make any of these ahead for Thanksgiving?
Plenty of them. A Baked Ham with Herby Breadcrumb Topping and Easy Roast Turkey Recipe both do well prepped ahead, and Turkey Pot Pie is perfect for using up the leftovers. The soups and stews freeze and reheat beautifully, so cook a double batch and stash some for a busy night.
Are there options for picky eaters or meat-free nights?
Yes. There is lots of kid-friendly food like One Pot Taco Tortellini, Ground Chicken and Spaghetti, and Chicken Fried Steak with White Gravy. For meat-free nights you have Tofu Ricotta Stuffed Shells with Spinach, Green Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk and Bulgur, and Kale Pesto Orzo.
How do I get next month’s plan?
Join the email list here and I will send the new plan to your inbox at the start of every month. You can also follow along on the blog and in my free Facebook group, where we share dinner ideas every day.
