We could call this week “Which came first? The chicken or the egg?” But no matter which you make first, you’re family is going to love coming to the table for these easy meals centered around Classic Chicken Pot Pie and hearty Farmhouse Egg Salad!
This Week’s Secret To Success
Some recipes make getting a good dinner on the table easy. And some recipes make getting a couple of dinners on the table easy! I don’t know about you, but that sounds like music to my ears, especially when life gets busy.
- This week’s meal ideas work because they balance your kitchen time. Chicken Pot Pie takes a bit more time to cook, while Egg Salad comes together in a snap.
- They also keep things light and lively at the table by offering a more traditional comfort meal for one day and a more casual meal for another.
- The attention to variety continues with a couple of mix and match options to fit what your family likes best.
- Don’t think they’ll like egg salad? Serve your tomato soup with asparagus twists and the same green salad you served with the chicken pot pie.
- Or maybe have your pickled shrimp pull double duty as snack and as a dinner salad topper for that soup and salad combo.
- Last but not least, save a little by buying eggs in bulk this week if you’re making Sheet Pan Eggs in a Basket and Farmhouse Egg Salad.
