Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️


Hi Reader,

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July celebrating with friends and family! We hung out with some of our friends and had a great time. This coming week we have some summer meals planned, including some grilling and a festive summertime dessert. Here we go...

Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️

Here's our suggestions for delicious meals, sides to go with them, and a breakfast and dessert idea as well!


Our Fried Asparagus makes a great side!

Serve them with a side of Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

Our cool and refreshing Asian Broccoli Slaw is perfect.

A couple of these Pull Apart Cornmeal Dinner Rolls pair well.

We love these Smashed Carrots along side.


Ditch the mitts

I haven't used regular oven mitts or hot pads for YEARS. My husband and I both swear by these gloves. They're great for changing light bulbs too!


Breakfast and Dessert

Blueberry Pancakes

Plump, fresh blueberries bursting from these!

Watermelon Cookies

Perfectly fun and festive, great for summer BBQs.

I would love to hear if you try any of these! Leaving a comment and star rating really helps other home cooks and bakers as well!
