A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas 🍎🍁


Hey, friend!

Good morning, and happy Sunday! Welcome to September! This week included a heat wave, soccer tournaments, and golf matches. 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:​​

​Chessman Banana Pudding​

Those buttery cookies soften into something almost like cake as it chills, layered with sweet bananas and creamy vanilla pudding. Best of all, it's no-bake, so you can make it the night before you need it!

​Smoked Sausage Pasta​

This dish turns a from-scratch cheese sauce, sliced kielbasa, and tender broccoli into a full dinner in one skillet. You'll love that it comes together in about 30 minutes without a can of soup in sight!

​Dump-and-Bake French Onion Chicken​

Sweet onions and chicken breasts bake together in a rich, savory broth, while a slice of cheesy toast on the side soaks up every last bit!

​Easy Apple Cobbler​

Fresh fruit baked under a buttery biscuit topping, and this one comes together without a mixer, a rolling pin, or a single pre-cooked apple! You just stir, scoop, and bake...

​Italian Sausage and Peppers​

Browned sausage links simmer with sweet onions, bell peppers, and a light tomato sauce until everything is tender and glossy. Pile it into toasted hoagie rolls, spoon it over pasta, or serve it with a loaf of crusty bread!

​Crock Pot Apricot Pulled Pork​

Ten minutes of prep in the morning gives you a big batch of tender, shreddable pork by suppertime!

​Old-Fashioned Apple Recipes​

When the local Virginia apples come in, I don't reach for anything fancy! I long for the recipes I grew up on: a pie with a no-cook filling, applesauce simmered soft on the stove, and pork chops with a spoonful of something sweet on the side. These are the recipes that taste like the season!

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:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
