Plan your meals this week with Monday Menu. Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole, Marinated Peach & Shrimp Salad, plus side dishes, a breakfast recipe, snack and dessert all make this week’s meal ideas deliciously perfect for the end of summer.

School’s back in session, but the weather is stil hot. So make the most of all the end-of-the season produce to stay cool! Fresh jalapenos, tomatoes, peaches and watermelon all show out in this week’s meal ideas, plus, a little ice cream for good measure. Who says the dog days of summer can’t be yummy?

Menu 1 starts the week off light with fresh marinated peaches and juicy plump shrimp all tossed and served in a green salad with pecans, feta and red onions! Such an easy and satisfying meal when paired with jalapeno cornbread muffins.

Menu 2 won’t be outdone though. Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a classic family favorite! Serve it with shortcut Mexican Charro Beans and a simple green salad tossed in mayo vinaigrette.

And don’t forget this week’s fresh snack ideas, ice cream dessert recipe and easy breakfast casserole. Why a casserole? Make breakfast once, have it all week long!

Dessert This Week

We are cooling off during these last days of summer with a Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert! Loaded with salted peanuts and layer of vanilla ice cream on an easy homemade Oreo crust and topped with the best fudgey chocolate topping you’ve ever tasted, this is a homemade, family-sized take on Dairy Queen’s Buster Bar.

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Light and cool continues with our snacking too! Make the most of those end of season watermelons to whip up a little Watermelon Bruschetta and use a few of those leftover peaches from your Marinated Peach & Shrimp Salad to stir together Sparkling Peach Lemonade.

Making Breakfast Easy

Loaded with bacon, eggs, cheese and tomatoes this Egg & Bacon Croissant Breakfast Casserole uses flaky, buttery grocery store bakery croissants to create a gorgeously delicious breakfast or brunch recipe that’s so incredibly easy to make!
