A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas 🎃🥦🧀🥓
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included beautiful fall days, lots of soccer, and an entertaining book. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in today’s roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog: Pumpkin Dump CakeWhen pumpkin pie and a buttery crisp end up in the same dish! You whisk the filling, sprinkle a box of cake mix over the top, and cover it with butter. No batter, no mixer, and one pan that feeds a crowd!
Cabbage Roll CasseroleEverything I love about my great grandmother's Polish stuffed cabbage rolls, including the ground beef, rice, tomato soup, and crispy bacon. The difference is that nothing gets rolled or stuffed!
Appalachian Soup Beans {Pinto Bean Soup}Simple, hearty, and smoky, soup beans are a traditional Appalachian supper that folks have made for generations. Dried pinto beans simmer low and slow with bacon, a ham hock, and a few aromatics until they're tender and thick. Make them in a Dutch oven or a Crock Pot, and serve with cornbread for a taste of the mountain South!
Dump-and-Bake Chicken Mac and CheeseTender chicken and creamy cheddar baked right into the pasta! You don't boil the noodles or cook the chicken first. Stir it all together and let the oven do the rest!
Broccoli and CheeseA quick and easy side dish that even your kids will devour! The smooth homemade cheese sauce comes together on the stovetop while the broccoli steams, so the whole thing takes about 15 minutes.
Crock Pot Pork Loin, Apples, and CabbageTender, juicy pork loin that cooks all day in a sweet and tangy apple cider sauce, with cabbage, onions, and apples underneath.
Southern Thanksgiving MenuIt's really about everything around the turkey: the cornbread dressing, the casseroles, the biscuits, and a dessert table that's hard to choose from! I've organized my favorites course by course, so you can pick a little from each group and have the whole menu planned in one sitting.
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:

VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR BROWSER Hey there! Here’s the thing about meatloaf night: deciding on the loaf takes about four seconds. Then you’re standing there at five o’clock wondering what on earth goes next to it! This week I’m giving you the whole plate: four meatloaves, and the four sides I’d actually put on the table with them. Southern Meatloaf The one I make most (the crumbs are cornbread instead of breadcrumbs). That’s the whole difference, and it’s a big one! Get the Recipe → Bacon...
VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR BROWSER Hey there! You’ve made the chili and you’ve served the pan of cornbread. Now for the fun part! Today I’m sharing seven dinners that prove chili and cornbread are so much more versatile than you might think. There’s even a salad that might raise some eyebrows. Tamale Pie Beef and cornbread in one skillet! A zesty ground beef filling under a cheesy Jiffy cornbread crust, in the oven after about fifteen minutes of work.
