Weekly Menu Plan, March 31 – April 6

Last week, we really enjoyed the cheese soup as well as the mac & cheese. We didn’t get to the enchilada stack, so it’s in this week’s rotation. I found some Jarlsberg on sale at the store, and I hear it makes a delicious grilled cheese, so we’re going to try that out!…

Molasses Ginger Cookies

I love gingerbread cookies. They are so much fun to cut out, decorate, and most of, eat! These molasses ginger cookies remind me of gingerbread cookies, but without the extra work of rolling out the dough and decorating. These cookies can be baked normal sized, or twice as large for you giant cookie…

Weekly Menu Plan, March 24 – March 30

Of last week’s new recipes, we liked one of them. The chicken casserole was just OK, the lentil chili had too much tomato, but the lemon chicken was delicious! I didn’t get to the buffalo chicken, so we’ll have it this week instead. I am trying three new recipes again, with high hopes!…

Mandarin Orange & Almond Salad

I just love lettuce/spinach salads with fruit and nuts. I don’t know what it is about the combination of those things that draws me in, but I have been known to fill my plate with one of these salads even when the main dish is one of my favorites. Mandarin Orange & Almond…

Weekly Menu Plan, March 17 – March 23

The crispy baked ravioli that we had last week was a hit with the whole family. I made them ahead by following the recipe up until the baking step. After they were all breaded, I put the pan in the refrigerator until I was ready to bake them. This method would make them…

7 Layer Taco Cups

Who doesn’t love 7 Layer Dip? While I love the flavors, I always feel like it’s a little messy to serve. So, I took some inspiration from my aunt’s sausage stars, and decided to make 7 Layer Taco Cups! They are so fun and full of flavor. Your guests are sure to be…

Weekly Menu Plan, March 10 – March 16

We celebrated my son’s 4th birthday this past week, and I can hardly believe he is already 4 years old. We enjoyed a lovely week with friends and family and are so very blessed. I think I’m still recovering from all of the crazy-ness, because I haven’t planned many new recipes for this…

Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Barbecue Chicken Pizza is an excellent way to make a little bit of leftover chicken go a long way. I crafted this pizza after that of a certain pizza chain, and I think you’ll enjoy this adaptation! Of course, you can always adjust the toppings to suit your tastes, and to fit what…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 3 – Mar 9

It’s looking like we’ve got a busy week ahead… Thus, I am going to try to keep the menus simple! We are going to try tacos in wonton cups (like how I make them for Sausage Stars). After baking the wontons, I’ll fill them with meat and cheese, then we’ll top with lettuce…

Grandma Carol’s Chili

First of all, Happy Birthday to my little sister! We love you lots and hope your day has been amazing 🙂 On a cold winter’s day, there’s not much like a pot of chili simmering away for dinner. Add a side of corn bread, and you’ve got a meal! It’s an easy soup…
