Giada De Laurentiis Just Revealed Her 2022 Thanksgiving Menu—and It’s Full of Italian Flair
Your Meal Plan
Sunday’sSalmon Tacos with Pineapple Salsaare a tasty and easy recipe for a weekend dinner. The pineapple salsa, cilantro and lime juice add a delicious finishing touch. I usually buy my salmon already thawed, so I try to use it earlier in the week, though frozen salmon is always a great option to keep on hand. This dinner provides you with over 25 grams of protein in two tacos—coming from both the salmon and the corn tortillas.Yes, corn tortillas have protein too!
Thursday’s Thanksgiving dinner has all the classics—turkey (my favorite!), mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and more. And on Friday, theCream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soupis an easy dinner that’s perfect to make with leftovers. For this recipe, I’ll pick up a pre-chopped mirepoix mixture from the store to speed up the total time and keep things easy after all the cooking from the day before. This soup is comforting and easy, and the best part is that it provides more than 36 grams of protein to keep you satisfied, even if you want to eat lighter after the big feast.

What’s Inspiring Me This Week
Nate Lemuel
November is Native American Heritage Month, so I’m taking some time to learn more about these cultures and delicious cuisines.EatingWellrecently published afeature packageabout revitalizing Indigenous cuisines to promote better health. I was fascinated to learn that many traditional Native American foods are the ones I grew up eating in Mexico, like tomatoes, chiles, beans, cactus and corn. I can’t wait to try the amazing recipes that Native chefs shared with us, like theGrilled Cactus Pad Salad with Oranges & Raspberry VinaigretteandCorn Pudding & Apple-Berry Parfaits.
