From New Year’s Eve filets to celebratory Fish & Chips, BBQ brisket in Norwalk to handmade Cavatelli in Bridgeport — this is what I ate across five of the most hectic weeks of my life. A dog in recovery, a house closing that moved twice, a new job in NYC, and a move to Easton, CT all collided at once. Here’s the full story, one meal at a time, with the restaurants that fed us, steadied us, and made it all feel worth celebrating

What I Ate This Week: Thanksgiving Edition — Gratitude, Comfort & Classic Flavors (Nov 24 – 30)
This Thanksgiving week was a mix of gratitude, comfort food, and a little bit of chaos as we celebrated while living with family. The week started with Trumbull Bagel Company and a stop at Geronimo, followed by a Southport Diner breakfast before prepping for the holiday. Thanksgiving Day featured a smoked turkey breast, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, gluten-free stuffing, Brussels sprouts with bacon, and plenty of wine. The weekend brought leftovers, a quick goodbye to our youngest daughter, and a cozy Sunday baked ziti made with bison and hot Italian sausage. A comforting, memorable Thanksgiving edition of What I Ate This Week.
