This complete, whole-food menu is perfect for any late fall or winter celebration! There is something that everyone will enjoy and takes the stress out of menu planning as I’ve included the shopping list below too! I hope this allows you to create something beautiful, nourishing, and special for you and your loved ones and that it inspires joy, connection, and lasting memories for years to come.
This menu serves 4-6 people but the individual components are great scaled up as side dishes to a larger meal as well!
