Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️


Hi Reader,

Easter is past us, but Mother's Day is coming, and with it (hopefully) warmer days! I have some oldies but goodies this week, tried and true recipes I hope you'll love. ❤️

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​].


Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts make a great side

Serve with coleslaw or our Vegetable Pasta Salad

Eat with a fork or spoon, or scoop it up with corn tortilla chips!

Some pasta tossed with our Vodka Sauce is a nice side

This is a meal in itself, so why not a Margarita?


Goes inside your cabinet!

Pretty cool spice rack that fits inside your cabinet and slides out for easy access to herbs and spices.

No more hunting for for bay leaves or fennel seed!


Breakfast and Dessert

Orange Rolls

I love these rolls, they are so good and the orange flavor is devine!

Brown Sugar Peach Cake

When I made this, I put several slices into the freezer for later. They thaw beautifully!
