Planning your meals just got a lot easier with Monday Menu’s 2 dinner menus, dessert, breakfast and snack ideas! This week is all about making the most of your shopping list. Ingredients do double duty to lighten the load on your budget and time in the store!

This week’s menus are all about making the most of ingredients we buy. I don’t love when I have to buy a whole head of lettuce or jar or box of something knowing that I only really need a couple of tablespoons of it to make my recipe. We’ve all been there. What can we do?

Instead of letting that get me down or deterring me from making my dish, I see it as a golden opportunity to find a few other recipes that use that ingredient and work them into our meal rotation! You know, delicious goodies that I might not have thought about making otherwise. It’s a complete win for the family, my pantry and my budget.

This week’s menus are all about those golden opportunities for ingredients to pull double duty!

Dessert This Week!

Orange Creamsicle Poke Cake is a light & refreshing citrus dream!  An easy sheet cake recipe made using a boxed cake mix and a few extra special ingredients just sings with sunshine-y orange flavor from orange soda, orange jello and and delightfully fluffy orange whipped topping!

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Hawaiian Popper Crescent Rolls combine the goodness of jalapeno poppers and soft, warm crescent rolls! It’s hard to resist the buttery, flaky goodness of a crescent roll that has been baked up just right. But fill it with cream cheese, jalapenos, pineapple and cocktail sausages and you have party food that your friends and family just can’t pass up!

Making Breakfast Easy

Easy homemade Blackberry Buttermilk Biscuits add a whole new level of amazing to breakfast, brunch, even dessert! Loaded with plump, ripe blackberries, topped with a bright & zesty lemon glaze and just the right amount of buttery goodness, these berry-loaded biscuits are the something special you’ve been looking for!
