This week’s Monday Menu meal plan ideas include an easy “breakfast for dinner” meal idea and a soul food feast no one can resist! Plus with an easy make-ahead breakfast recipe, a hot and hearty dip for snacking and pie bars for dessert, no one will be hungry this week.

This week’s menu ideas are delicious, delicious and more delicious! Kick it all off with a little soul food. We’re talking easy stuffed cabbage rolls, creamy, cheesy mac n cheese and fool-proof black eyed peas in the crock pot. Then finish the week by enjoying a breakfast-for-dinner favorite- Loaded BLT Quiche!

This Menu’s Secret

I love pairing BLT Quiche with Spinach Salad and Hot Bacon Dressing. Prepping a few more pieces of bacon when making the quiche takes care of the bacon for the salad and the drippings are right there ready to go for the dressing!

Maybe even go ahead and cook up a few more pieces of that bacon to go with Make Ahead Blueberry Bake Breakfast Casserole while you’re at it! It’s the perfect strategy for making the most of your time in the kitchen.

Dessert This Week

Turn traditional pecan pie into easy dessert bars with this simple Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars recipe! With a quick buttery pecan shortbread crust and a sweet, nutty no-cook pecan pie filling, Pecan Pie Bars take pie at the holidays to whole new level.

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Who doesn’t love a good dip? And I mean a really good dip where you can load up your chip to the point of breaking and really know that you’re eating something! Ultimate Creamy Chicken Dip is all about that and then some. Shredded chicken, cream cheese, Parmesan, pecans and spices come together to make a deliciously addictive dip that’s served hot and has your friends and family coming back for more!

Making Breakfast Easy

There is never a bad time for breakfast, especially when it’s as easy as this Make-Ahead Blueberry Breakfast Bake.  It’s a little bit french toast, a little bit blueberry pancakes and every bit exactly what every breakfast and brunch table needs.  Full of plump, ripe blueberries, golden sourdough, eggs, sweet cream and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, this simple breakfast casserole is one of those comfort dishes that everyone looks forward to having!
