November 2026 Menu Plan - 30 Easy Family Dinners

Happy November, everyone! Fall has officially arrived in Northeast Texas, and the temperatures are steadily cooling down each week. I'm thrilled that summer is finally behind us. Today, I'm excited to share my November Menu Plan, which features 30 family-friendly dinner ideas along with some delicious dessert options. 

It's hard to believe the holidays are just around the corner, so I've also included our Thanksgiving spread and a few holiday leftover meals. Overall, November promises to be a delicious month ahead! Hopefully my November meal plan will help you take the guesswork out of dinner! 

 NOTES ABOUT THE MENU PLAN  🍂

• The menu pictured above is just a preview for you to pin if you'd like. You can find the full printable PDF version 🠞 HERE 
• I've arranged my menu plan in a list format, which allows me the flexibility to choose what to cook each day rather than assigning specific meals to certain days. This approach also makes it simple to mark off meals as I prepare them.  
• All recipes have clickable links (on the PDF version) that are listed on Mommy's Kitchen or recipes that are available online. 
• The majority of the dinners featured on my menu don't include a specific side dish, and here's why: Many of them are complete or all-in-on meals, or I prefer to pick out my vegetable or side dish once I'm actually cooking. Also given that the menu plan has pretty tight spaces, I've done my best to fit in as much detail as possible!
• We usually have a sweet treat on the weekends, so I normally list 3-4 desserts on the menu plan. 
• Any recipe marked with an asterisk (*) indicates that it was a meal that has been carried over from the previous month that was not prepared.
