A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas πππ
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included a road trip, lots of rain, and a short week of school. 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 βApple CrumbleβThis is the treat you'll want to make all fall, with the perfect buttery, streusel crumb topping! It's like an apple crisp minus the oats.
βOld Fashioned Chicken and Rice CasseroleβChicken, rice, and a buttery Ritz cracker topping. Since the chicken and the rice go in already done, the whole thing is stirred together in about 10 minutes!
βBaked MeatballsβThese come out tender and juicy every time, and they cook hands-off in the oven while you stir together a quick homemade marinara on the stovetop. No standing over a skillet turning batches, and dinner is on the table in about 30 minutes!
βFried OystersβVirginia is known for its fresh Chesapeake Bay oysters, and a quick buttermilk soak plus a seasoned cornmeal dredge is the best way to show them off! The coating fries up golden and crisp in about 3 minutes, while the oyster inside stays plump and briny.
β7UP BiscuitsβThese biscuits are light, tender, and made with just four ingredients: Bisquick, sour cream, butter, and a splash of cold lemon-lime soda. It sounds like an odd combination, but trust me, this one works!
βCrock Pot Chicken and DumplingsβThe classic Southern comfort food gets an easier, quick-prep makeover. Canned biscuit dough tossed in cornmeal turns into soft, pillowy dumplings right in the slow cooker, so you get tender chicken and a creamy, spoon-coating broth with about 15 minutes of hands-on work!
βOld-Fashioned Cobblers and CrispsβI've pulled together our favorite crisps, crumbles, and cobblers so you can find the right one for whatever fruit is in season. From spring strawberries to fall pears, there's a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe waiting for you!
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
