Hey, friend!

Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included kids' sports, wild spring weather, and a fun thriller. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayโ€™s roundup of Our Week in Meals.

Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are a few fresh ideas from the blog:โ€‹โ€‹

โ€‹Breakfast Biscuit Sandwichesโ€‹

Everything you want in a weekend morning: warm, buttery biscuits loaded with savory sausage (or crispy bacon), fluffy scrambled eggs, and a slice of melty cheese! They come together in about 30 minutes, and they freeze beautifully for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.

โ€‹Dump-and-Bake Shrimp Scampi Linguineโ€‹

Loaded with garlic, butter, and Parmesan -- and you don't even have to boil the pasta or pre-cook the shrimp! With just 5 minutes of prep, it's one of the easiest ways to get a flavorful seafood dinner on the table.

โ€‹Crock Pot Chicken and Riceโ€‹

Tender, juicy chicken thighs, fluffy white rice, and a thick, creamy gravy come together in this simple dish. With just 10 minutes of prep and a few pantry staples, the set-it-and-forget-it dinner is perfect for busy nights!

โ€‹Cornbread with Cake Mixโ€‹

Sweet, fluffy, and moist! Jiffy corn muffin mix and yellow cake mix come together for a tender, cake-like treat that pairs perfectly with chili, pot roast, beans, and all your favorite comfort food suppers. This one's a personal favorite!

โ€‹Creamy Chicken Bacon Pasta with Peasโ€‹

A flavorful spring dinner that comes together in about 30 minutes! Smoky bacon, golden brown chicken, tender pasta, and sweet peas are tossed in a simple lemon cream sauce that's rich (but not heavy).

โ€‹Dutch Oven Beef Stewโ€‹

Tender chunks of seared beef, hearty vegetables, and potatoes simmer low and slow in a thick, rich gravy that fills your entire house with the most incredible aroma!

โ€‹Ground Beef Stroganoffโ€‹

Made completely from scratch with sour cream, mushrooms, and a rich, savory sauce. Serve it over a bowl of hot egg noodles or rice for a cozy weeknight dinner that's ready in about 45 minutes, no canned soup necessary!

โ€‹Salmon Pattiesโ€‹

Crispy and golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and ready in about 25 minutes. Made with simple pantry ingredients!

โ€‹The Best Bran Muffinsโ€‹

Soft, moist, and full of warm flavor from molasses, brown sugar, and plump raisins!

โ€‹Dump-and-Bake Sausage & Cabbage Dinnerโ€‹

A cozy, hearty one-pot meal with just 10 minutes of prep! Kielbasa, potatoes, cabbage, and a savory tomato sauce bake together in the oven for an easy weeknight dinner.

โ€‹30-Minute Skillet Dinnersโ€‹

These are the kind of real, satisfying meals that work on even the busiest weeknights. Every recipe comes together with minimal prep and easy cleanup, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time at the table.

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:โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
