Monday Menu is dedicated to helping you get 2 tasty family meals on the table, along with a breakfast, easy dessert and a snack to keep everyone happy all week long.

A collage of easy casserole recipes and side dishes to make weeknight meals.

This Week’s Secret to Success

Knowing how to pick and choose recipes for your meals so that your time in the grocery store and in the kitchen is streamlined is a priceless strategy! One of the best strategies for that is shared ingredients.

  • Look for recipes that use some of the same ingredients as the other recipes you are already preparing. This makes grocery shopping so much easier without you running all over the store.
  • It can also save you money by enabling you to buy larger portions which usually cost less per ounce, pound, etc.
  • And lastly, it eliminates waste. No more using a bit of an ingredient and then having to store the rest before eventually throwing it away because it’s expired!

This week’s recipes share mushrooms, ground sausage, pepperoni, olives, mozzarella and shaved parmesan cheese.
