😋11/9/25: 🦃 Your FREE Thanksgiving eBook is Here — Feast & Gather! Let’s make your Thanksgiving stress-free (and delicious!)...

Ciao Reader!

The season of feasting and gathering is here, and I couldn’t be more excited! I'm pausing from my weekly meal plan to share something with you! 🍁

I know how busy this time of year can be, so I've created something special to help you plan, prepare, and actually enjoy the holidays this year.

✨ My FREE “Feast & Gather” Thanksgiving eBook is officially here!✨

It’s filled with tried-and-true family recipes that bring comfort, flavor, and a little Italian love to your holiday table.

Inside you’ll find:

🥔 Creamy mashed potatoes (my husband's Idaho family recipe!)

🦃 Foolproof juicy turkey + homemade gravy

🥗 Vibrant holiday salads

🍰 Cozy desserts to end the feast with amore

I hope this helps take one thing off your plate (so you can fill it with something delicious instead 😉). Wishing you a cozy, love-filled week ahead, and a beautiful start to the season of gratitude.

This isn't all; I am sharing brand-new recipes all month long to give you even more inspiration (like my savory sweet potato casserole and easy homemade rolls!), so keep checking your emails from me.

Please let me know what recipes you try! Made with Amore💙, Elena.

✨Here is a popular recipe that many loved this week...

​Hot Italian Sliders​

This sandwich was such a big hit with my family, they asked me to make it again 2 nights in a row. Even my very picky 12-year-old granddaughter loved it. - PEGGY ​MAKE THIS RECIPE​

👩🏻‍🍳 My Top Pick This Week: Baked Chicken Thighs in Cream Sauce.

Reader review: "This one has made it into our rotation! I pair it with some noodles and veggies, and it’s a perfect meal!" ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️- Amanda.
