A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas πππ½
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! We welcomed October with lots of kids' sports, a handful of quick weeknight suppers, and a fun new book. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayβs roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog:ββ βJohn Wayne CasseroleβTaco-seasoned beef, sweet peppers, and tomatoes layered over a biscuit crust, all under a creamy cheddar topping. One pan, and it feeds a crowd!
βBaked Chicken NuggetsβCrushed cheddar Goldfish crackers turn into the crispiest breading you can get out of an oven, no frying required! These come together in about 30 minutes with pantry staples, and they're one of my kids' most-requested dinners.
βEasy French Onion SoupβSweet caramelized onions, a savory beef broth, and a lid of bubbling cheese over crusty bread! This soup requires just a handful of everyday ingredients and one pot. It tastes like a bowl you would order out, made right in your own kitchen!
βHow to Make Grape JuiceβGrapes, sugar, and boiling water go straight into a mason jar. There's no cooking, no juicer, and no peeling anywhere in this method! The jars sit until the flavor deepens, then you strain and pour. It's the easiest way I know to turn a fall grape haul into juice you'll enjoy in January.
βRoasted Pork LoinβA simple apple cider marinade is what turns this pork loin from ordinary to tender and juicy! The pork soaks overnight, sears in a hot skillet, then finishes in the oven while you pull the sides together. You just need four ingredients and five minutes of hands-on prep for a roast that slices beautifully!
βSour Cream CornbreadβForget dry, crumbly cornbread! Sour cream and a can of creamed corn keep this one moist and tender, with crisp buttery edges from a hot cast iron skillet. Just five ingredients!
βBest Cornbread RecipesβCornbread is one of my go-to sides, since it pairs well with almost any meal and it comes together quickly and easily. Some nights it's a hot cast iron skillet with bacon grease in the bottom, and some nights it's a box of Jiffy and whatever's in the refrigerator door. These are 22 of our favorites!
And since it's Sunday, it's time for Our Week in Meals! You can check out all of the highlights from our week and hopefully find some new dinner inspiration for your own meal plan. The full details are on the blog today:ββββββββββββββ
