The Organized Life, November Paint Bucket
Posted by the Painted Apron on October 29, 2023 · 23 Comments

November is on the horizon,
and I have been thinking of Thanksgiving
and all the wonderful food, besides turkey,
that is associated with this holiday~
cranberries, stuffing, vegetable casseroles, pumpkin~
Even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving,
the recipes on the bucket list this month
are all perfect for late Fall
The flavor/theme of the month is Thanksgiving
You can see photos of these recipes in the November section
of the Monthly Paint Bucket Pinterest board here

Appetizers
Pumpkin Cheese Ball from Beyond Flour
French Onion Soup Bites from Beach House Kitchen
Cranberry Pecan Pie Crust Leaves from Home is Where the Boat is
Sausage and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites from Plain Chicken
Sides
Southern Corn Pudding from Not Entirely Average
Butternut Squash with Cranberries from Cooking on the Front Burner
Cranberry Brioche Bread Pudding from Silver Oak
Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Garlic Butter from Cafe Delites
Main Dish
Cordon Bleu Chicken Crescent Ring from Julie’s Eats and Treats
Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing from Eating on a Dime
Slow Cooker Honey Parmesan Pork Tenderloin from Closet Cooking
Chicken Bacon Pumpkin Pasta Bake from Pinch of Yum
Dessert
Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread from Just So Tasty
Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars from A Spicy Perspective
Pumpkin Crumb Cake with Maple Bourbon Glaze from Olla Podrida
Peanut Butter Cream Cookie Cups from Pillsbury
Here’s what I made from the October Paint Bucket
The flavor/theme of the month was Butternut Squash and Pumpkin
Butternut Squash Cannelloni with Brown Butter Sage
is simple enough for everyday but also is dinner party worthy
These Fall Salads are sure to amp up your salad game

One night we enjoyed Loaded Potato Soup that my son made,
it’s perfect cold weather comfort food!
I discovered a game changing technique for making pasta casseroles,
use refrigerated tortellini or ravioli and you don’t have to boil it first!
This Pumpkin Alfredo Ravioli was a snap to make
I used refrigerated sausage ravioli
and combined jars of alfredo with pumpkin for the sauce
I didn’t get a chance to make any of the side dishes on the bucket list
but I did share a round-up of
10 Fall Side Dishes that Prep in 10 Minutes or Less

I made Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls from Cook Clean Repeat
2 ingredients and it was Amazing!
Salted Caramel Ice Cream is delicious any time of year,
but in October, serve it with an upside down ice cream cone
and call it Tipsy Witch Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Halloween is only days away,
there is still time to whip up 10 yummy
On to November!

[…] Here’s what I made from the November Paint Bucket […]
What a wonderful line up of tasty dishes! I am in a holiday mood early this year, and Thanksgiving is the best day of the year!
Thanks Carole, here we go to the most wonderful time of the year, Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Thanks for so many great choices. Let’s get the party started.
Yes, let’s! Thanks Bernadette!
I’m going to be going through all the recipes I saved from you just to see what tasty things I’ll be putting into my November! There were good ones this month!
thanks Jeanie, so glad you thought so!
Jenna, I love Thanksgiving and all of the food that goes with it. I can bypass the turkey and feast on the side dishes. All of your selections sound delicious. The cranberry brioche bread pudding is calling my name. Enjoy this gorgeous late October Sunday 🧡
Thanks Pam, it’s all about the side dishes for me too, and guess what, nobody in my family likes turkey, last year we had lamb chops 😂
The apple cinnamon bubble up looks so melt in your mouth wonderful!
Thanks Mary, it is really good and only 2 ingredients!
We have had a cold rainy day, so many of your recipes sing “fall comfort food” to me today.
There is nothing better than comfort food on a cold and rainy day! Thanks Linda~
So many tasty looking (and sounding!) recipes!
Thanks so much Joanne!
Those all look so good Jenna! I so can’t wait to try the witch ice cream especially! 🙂 Thanks and Happy Halloween!
Thank you Barbara! The Salted Caramel Ice Cream {tipsy witch} is so good and dangerously easy to make~
Fabulous recipes Jenna and after reading the comments, I have to say that I’m not really a big fan of turkey either. But the sides, oh my. I could exist on them alone lol. The soup, the cannelloni, the ravioli, and the salads are all yum. Our winters are so long, so the comfort food season is long too. Ha! Hope you have a wonderful Halloween!
I am all about the sides too Kim! We are actually cold this morning and it’s supposed to be below freezing tonight, the Trick or Treaters will have to bundle up!
So many tasty dishes Jenna, I can’t believe were knocking on November’s door! Like Pam and Kim, I could skip the turkey and feast on the sides. 🦃 Happy Tuesday 🧡
I can’t believe Oct is gone in a flash! It’s cold here today and raining leaves…Yes, I’m with you, bring on the sides, who needs turkey!
Everything looks so amazing!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party – Hope you had a great Halloween!
Thank you Helen!
