Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️

Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️

Here's our suggestions for delicious meals, sides to go with them, and a breakfast and dessert idea as well! [See previous meal plans ​here​].


Make melting potatoes to go alongside!

Goes great with some green beans in the air fryer!

Make a pitcher of our delicious Mexican Inspired Sangria

Make up a loaf of my homemade Italian bread to go with this dish

Our recipe for Shrimp Fried Rice is perfect for leftovers


Cooking slow...

...is ideal for busy days, hot days, and just any day honestly! We have several slow cooker recipes and we have found that CrockPot brand to be the best. If you have an older CrockPot you probably love it!


Breakfast and Dessert

Apple Cider Donuts

These homemade apple cider doughnuts are fried until golden then rolled in cinnamon sugar or topped with a sweet glaze.

Apple Dump Cake

This is a quick and cozy fall dessert with tender, crumbly cake and warm apple pie filling. You only need 3 ingredients!

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!
