For now, let’s take a look at some ideas for weekly dinners.

[Pioneer Woman], [The Kitchn], [Closet Cooking], [For the Love of Cooking]

Sunday:  Pot Roast is one of those comfort foods that is just perfect for a Sunday dinner.  I stumbled across this Italian pot roast and figured it would be worth a try.

Monday:  I love mixing in winter squash into meals.  This fettuccine with butternut squash looks so delicious!

Tuesday:  Thanksgiving will be here so soon! It has me dreaming of leftovers like this turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce.

Wednesday:  We don’t cook a lot of fish here but Parmesan crusted halibut sounds really delicious.

Thursday:  We love chicken tikka masala so I am always looking for easy ways to make it.  Slow cooker tikka masala is an awesome option for busy nights!

Friday:  With the cooler temperatures, I love adding in soups to our menu. Austrian goulash sounds like a very interesting option.

Saturday:  These stuffed peppers look absolutely delicious.

Happy Cooking!

Happy Halloween!  Let’s take a look at some not so spooky but super delicious ideas for dinner.

Sunday:  I love risotto so this barley risotto with butternut squash definitely intrigued me!

Monday:  I’ve been trying to incorporate spaghetti squash into our diet in place of traditional noodles more often.  This week, we are going to give Southwestern spaghetti squash a try.

Tuesday:  It is hard to resist a good buffalo chicken dish.  These buffalo chicken potato skins sounds super delicious and combine two favorite items.  

Wednesday:  Sometimes a salad is the perfect option for a light dinner.  This pumpkin, spinach, feta and pinenut salad adds a nice fall touch to a salad.

Thursday:  Of course we don’t get skip traditional pasta all together 🙂  This week, we are going with spaghetti with broccoli cream pesto.

Friday:  Fall is the perfect time for soup. I’m giving turkey tom ka gai a try this week.  

Saturday:  A new take on a traditional Italian dish: smoked gouda chicken parmesan.

Ready for some more yummy recipe ideas for your weekly menu? I know I am!

Sunday: Pot Roast is one of my favorite meals! Rosemary garlic pot roast is a new take that I am excited to try.

Monday: Meatless Monday gets a healthy dose of veggie goodness in butternut squash macaroni and cheese. 

Tuesday: Chicken is such a great weeknight go to because it is easy to cook and you can add so much flavor with just a few ingredients. Baked garlic parmesan chicken is a recipe that does just that and gives you hand off cooking while it bakes in the oven.

Wednesday: Tacos are always a favorite in our house. Let’s recreate a Taco Bell favorite with these double decker tacos.

Thursday: Chicken gets a crispy treatment thanks to some yummy coconut in crispy coconut chicken with mango salsa.

Friday: Fridays have known to be a little crazy in our house so I tend to turn to my crock pot often. This week, I’ve got slow cooker chicken teriyaki on the menu to help ease my craving for Chinese take-out.

Saturday: Let’s end the week with some fun food! Tailgating {even at home} is usually in full swing on Saturdays so pepperoni pizza bites are the perfect option!

Happy Cooking {and eating!}

Ok, it is time once again to get our cooking utensils ready and get cooking! Thanks to What to Cook Wednesday (WTCW) you will have a plenty of ideas on what to make.

Sunday: I love pesto. Recently, I found this recipe for lemon pepita pesto served over London broil and I knew I had to try it.

Monday: I love using veggies in slightly unexpected ways like in these miso maple glazed sweet potato tacos.

Tuesday: Sandwiches are seeing more and more time in our kitchen thanks to busy schedules. I’ll use some of the leftover pesto from Sunday to make baked turkey pesto sandwiches.

Wednesday: Traditional pizza and I aren’t getting along much these days. I’m going to give this flatbread with shrimp and yogurt sauce a try as a stand in for pizza.

Thursday: How good does the honey lemon basil chicken look {and sound}?!

Friday: Sliders are the perfect size for the kids so I tend to make them frequently. These chicken parmesan sliders sound like a nice version to try.

Saturday: We’ll round the trio of chicken dishes with more pesto {YAY!} in a skinny chicken pesto bake.

What is on your menu this week?

Let’s check out some yummy recipes to make for dinner this week!

Sunday:  How irresistible does this hot and spicy Italian drip beef sandwich look?

Monday:  I love our meatless Monday dishes.  Baked orzo with eggplant and mozzarella sounds like a perfect meatless option.

Tuesday:  Stuffed peppers traditionally have a more Italian flair but these Mexican stuffed peppers sound perfect for our Tex-Mex cravings.

Wednesday:  Let’s continue the Tex-mex meals and make honey lime enchiladas.

Thursday:  The cooler weather has me so excited for fall! Beef barley soup is a great way to get started with some fall weather fare.

Friday:  Crock pot to the rescue for a busy Friday.  This time, my slow cooker is going to give cashew chicken a go.

Saturday:  Dinners on Saturday tend to be quick and thrown in between playing outside and basement work.  These Thai beef salad wraps sound like a delicious option for a quick meal.

Happy cooking!

Monday: We still like to attempt meatless Monday as much as possible. I love this neat take on stuffed mushrooms which are made with veggie chili.

Tuesday: Some cuts of beef cook so quickly making weeknight dinner a breeze. Grilled skirt steak with corn and tomato salad is one of those great options for an early fall evening.

Wednesday: Another thing fall brings for us is more freezer friendly meals. I love being able to spend some time upfront cooking and then toss a meal, like baked pasta with sausage and spinach, into the oven when I want to serve it.

Thursday: How about some meatloaf made Paleo style with lots of veggies. Yum!

Friday: This recipe for sesame seared tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes had me the moment I saw those potatoes!

Saturday: We round out this red meat heavy (how did that happen?!) week with a yummy steak salad with mangoes and black pepper cashews. 

Happy Wednesday!  Let’s jump right into some meal planning, shall we?

Sunday: Fall is on its way….well, at least according to the calendar. I figure we will bring a few fall flavors into our dinner with butternut squash and sweet potato lasagna.

Monday: I love the idea of this spicy sausage and shrimp panzanella.

Tuesday: All the Tex-mex flavors in this tortilla pie should super delicious and perfect for a weeknight meal.

Wednesday: I don’t usually put my own recipes in here but I have been itching to make this chicken avocado quinoa salad for a little while now.

Thursday: Mathlete isn’t big on salads but I bet, if he sees that there are corn chips involved in this corn chip taco salad, I might be able to get him to eat it!

Friday: Shockingly, I have yet to cook with soda. So, I’m going to give root beer chicken a try this week!

Saturday: Busy Saturday wins over cooking again. Good thing I have recipes like slow cooker French dip sandwiches to help me still get dinner on the table.

Happy cooking!

We made it halfway through another week which means it is time for What to Cook Wednesday feature.

Sunday: I love pasta. Pasta doesn’t love my hips {or maybe it does since it likes to hang out there}. Thankfully, I stumbled upon ravioli made out of squash!

Monday: Meatless Monday with some Italian flair this week! I saw baked pattypan squash parmesan with garlic breadcrumbs and knew it had to be on my list!

Tuesday: I picked a quick little through together meal featuring herbed Panko chicken.

Wednesday: Mathlete loved to get meatballs in his Pho. It is a little too hot for that though so we are going to give Vietnamese pork meatballs in lettuce cups a try.

Thursday: Pasta night featuring nettle pasta. 

Friday: Some weeks Fridays are just so hectic so I turn to my crockpot. I’ve got slow cooker Filipino adobo pulled pork on this week’s list to help reduce my Friday dinner rush stress.

Saturday: The weather is cooling down just a bit making grilling out more comfortable. So, lemongrass beef skewers will be making an appearance on our grill!

Happy cooking!
