This week, make dinner time with your family everyone’s favorite time of the day with an easy-to-make fried chicken dinner complete with artichoke pesto pasta salad and crock pot black eye peas or a tender southern meat and potatoes pie, brussel sprouts and pull apart rolls!
Last week, a friend shared with me that the hardest thing about cooking for her was coming up with meal ideas. I wasn’t surprised. A lot of us feel that way!
That’s why I love Monday Menus so much. It’s a chance to put together some of the best recipes here at Southern Discourse to create delicious meal ideas so you don’t have to!
No more getting stuck in the “what’s for dinner” rut. Every week, Monday Menus pairs favorite main dish recipes with tried and true side dishes and salad recipes to create inspiration for 2 fresh & tasty meals. Getting dinner on the table (and breakfast, dessert and snack) for your family has never been simple!
Menu 1- Step-by-Step Fried Chicken Dinner
Menu 2- Southern Cottage Pie (meat, potatoes & cheese)
Dessert This Week
Creamy Toasted Coconut Lime Bars are like little key lime pies as a fun dessert bar! Tart and tangy lime, sweet shredded coconut and a buttery shortbread crust with macadamia nuts and lime zest make this tropical delight the perfect treat.
Here’s What We’re Snacking On
We’re making the most of easy snacking this week! Summer gardens, farmers’ markets and roadside stands are all perfectly ripe with all the seasonal pickings for a garden fresh vegetable crudite platter.
Making Breakfast Easy
These are the BEST apple muffins! They are completely, 100% easy to make! With a recipe similar to Monkey Bread, these pull-apart apple muffins bake up in their own caramel sauce & are filled with apple pie filling, cream cheese & pecans. An apple a day…!

You’re recipes are the best I’ve EVER made or eaten! I generally have all of the ingredients in my cabinet in the first place, which is great. I generally cut down on the amount of “sauce” (cream cheese, sour cream, cheese, canned soup) because I want to keep my weight in check. And, I love the Bible verses that are sprinkled throughout. Thanks so much!
Hi, Cricket! Thank you! I am so glad you’re here at Southern Discourse!! You have truly made my day. I am so tickled that you are enjoying all the recipes and the scriptures. I just can’t thank you enough!
