Put chicken and beef on pause this week with 2 delicious different proteins guaranteed to get you out of your dinner rut and put a smile on your family’s face! This week’s Monday Menu has all the recipes to help you put two complete meals on the table, plus breakfast, snack and dessert. Planning “what to eat” just got a lot easier!

This Meal Plan’s Secret To Success

This week, we’re ditching the regular beef and chicken for something a little different- crab and turkey! Considering new proteins is a great way to get out of your dinner rut and liven up your week day meals. The unexpected can make plain ol’ dinner time seem so special!

Don’t save meats like turkey or ham just for the holidays. They’re always available in your grocery store and make a delicious meal no matter the day or week!

This week’s breakfast recipe- Sausage & Mushroom Quiche– also makes a great family dinner. Pair it with any leftovers of Menu 1’s Fried Potatoes and Onions, plus a Green Salad, for another supper idea that breaks away from the norm.

And as always, we’re balancing one meal that requires a little more cooking with a light cook meal so that meal time stays easy and doable!

Dessert This Week

Perfect for all your holiday and seasonal gatherings, this quick and easy no bake recipe let’s you enjoy all the flavors of a homemade pumpkin pie in one perfect little bite.  Pumpkin pie has never been so easy! Rich, creamy pumpkin filling, fluffy cream cheese topping, toasted pecans and a sprinkle of cinnamon all fit neatly in a crisp phyllo cup and your busy schedule!

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Celebrate the best of the season with a fun Apple Cider Cheese Fondue!  This easy dip is a decidedly delicious fall appetizer. You’re going to love dipping pretzels, pears, apples, smoked sausage, even sour dough bread into oodles of hot, melty smoked gouda, swiss and sharp cheddar cheeses with just a hint of spicy apple cider.  

Making Breakfast Easy

This easy recipe for Sausage Mushroom Quiche bakes up delectable goodness every time.  Loaded with savory Shiitake mushrooms (or white button mushrooms), ground sausage, fresh spinach and sharp Parmesan cheese, this quiche is guaranteed to be your favorite for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
