The Dinner A’Fare November Dinner Ideas
Pork Cotoletta with Sweet Potato Orzo – This great dish makes for a beautiful meal during the November holiday season. A great idea is to place the tossed orzo in the center of a large platter and dress it with the pork cutlets either fanned to the side or down the center. Your guests will love the Italian serving.
Muffuletta Chicken – Substitute this up-scaled New Orleans favorite for the typical Friday night pizza, but be able to still keep the kids happy. Also fun on a hoagie bun wrapped in foil for a meal to go with you to the Friday night football game.
Steak Diane – You won’t want to keep this one for yourself, invite the family over for Sunday dinner or the neighbors on Tuesday night. Perfect as a centerpiece for a great dinner, and even better sliced on a platter with dinner rolls and sauce for a holiday buffet, just add a little bowl of horseradish.
Chicken Milanese with Herbed Polenta – This rustic Italian dish is such a fun way to warm up a Saturday evening dinner, especially when the late autumn winds begin to blow.
Apricot-Bourbon Glazed Stuffed Pork Tenderloin – A great alternative to a turkey for those more intimate Thanksgiving dinners. Or serve it as a beautiful dish at your Tree-trimming Party to lead into the Christmas season.
Kung Pao Chicken – This should be saved for those nights when you don’t want to see another turkey, ham or casserole. Trust me….you will want to have this one around!
Panko Crusted Tilapia with Sweet Onion Corn Relish – Great just as it is, but try it on tossed greens for a beautiful entrée salad.
Peperoncini Steak with Capellini and Asiago Cream Sauce – This yummy dish is so filling and is perfect to have when you want to set up a “date night” at home with that special someone. Just add candles and a French Baguette and you’ll have a perfect evening.
Chicken Mexicala – Have a sick neighbor that you need to take supper to, or a community function where you need to take a dish, this one is perfect. It even has its own pan so you don’t have to worry about getting yours back.
Mushroom and Pork Fricassee – This is a beautiful dish served over the suggested egg noodles, it’s very hardy, and full of flavor. Make this one for the family to warm them up after an afternoon picking apples at the orchard.
Homemade Calzones – When you’re busy this is a perfect “straight from the freezer into the oven” dinner. We have also made sure to separate each calzone, so that you can pull one out at a time if your having just a table for one!
Cranberry Chicken – A feel good dinner to get you into the season with the tangy and sweet cranberry glaze. Great even to slice for a holiday platter.
Argentinean Grilled Flank Steak with Black Bean Vinaigrette – Perfect for that last warm weekend, which gives you a chance to use the grill for the last time in the season! Wrap some potatoes and corn on the cob, and cook on the grill along with it. You’ll have a perfectly clean kitchen left! Also, great sliced and added to tossed greens for a festive entrée salad.
Crab and Potato-Corn Chowder – Need a meal to go? A quick way to make great chowder, then fill your favorite thermos and head on out the door. A great one for those fun fall camping trips as well!
Mini Meatloaves – These are great as a traditional dinner entrée, but think outside the box! Jazz them up by slicing them and serving on toasted ciabatta bread with tomato and mozzarella to create a fun style Meatloaf Panini.
