Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️


Hi Reader,

It's what my step daughter calls "spooky season"! Cooler weather, pretty fall leaves, and using the oven a lot more..

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​].


Enjoy with a refreshing glass of Lavender Lemonade

Goes great with a basket of Herb Buttermilk Biscuits!

Make a batch of Vegetable Fried Rice for the side

You can pile some onto our Chili Dogs too!

A side of Lemon Couscous is just the ticket!


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

Cake Mix Waffles

Golden and fluffy waffles made in a matter of minutes with the help of a boxed cake mix!

Orange Pineapple Cake

This cake is so refreshing with its light and airy whipped pineapple frosting and sweet, fruity base.

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!
