This week’s menu is all about complete meals with fun foods everybody likes to eat! Your family won’t even miss going out when you’re serving Deep Dish Skillet Pizza, BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, Tomato Soup, Creamy Coleslaw and more. By balancing time and cooking methods, it’s easy to get it all on the table!
This Week’s Secret To Success
Who needs to go out when you can make restaurant favorites right in your own kitchen… and make them even better without a lot of fuss? This week’s recipes are even easy enough that you could get the whole family in on the act of whipping up a few.
- This week’s meal ideas employ the strategy of balancing time like a whiz. There is balance in each meal AND between the meals. If you’ve ever wondered how this strategy really works, this is the week to find out!
- Deep Dish Skillet Pizza sports real deal Chicago flavor and style. And since the recipe involves making a very simple from-scratch crust, it’s a “time balance” must to pair it with a quick side dish, like Italian Green Bean Salad.
- BBQ Chicken Sandwiches bring the convenience to the plan by relying on the crock pot! You did your time in the kitchen making pizza, now it’s time to take a break and let the slow cooker get the meal on the table!
- Get everybody involved in your family dinner prep by letting other family members whip up the easy side dishes.
- Don’t think of eating at home as boring. Think about what your family likes to eat out and find recipes to make those dishes at home.
Pro Tip Short Cuts
- Instead of making side dishes for each meal, whip up a batch of tomato soup and coleslaw and serve it with both main dishes.
- Don’t feel like making a dessert this week? Let this week’s snack recipe be all the sweet treat you need!

Pizza night at home has never been delicious like this before! This Deep Dish Skillet Pizza Casserole is a thick crust, Chicago-style pan pizza that is easy to make and is absolutely loaded with tangy pizza sauce and all your favorite pizza toppings.

Dessert This Week
I just made this cake for my dad’s birthday, and oh my, it never fails to disappoint. Deeply chocolate, rich and fudgey, this is a from scratch Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake that uses a little buttermilk, always stays moist and is surprisingly quick and easy to make!
Making Breakfast Easy
Skip the muffins and make this instead! Tender, moist with a sweet crackle crust and loads of chunky apples, this Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread is drizzled with a cinnamon glaze and filled with all the warm, sweet flavors you’d expect from an old fashioned recipe while still being easy to make!
Here’s What We’re Snacking On
When you need something good to munch, these babies take the PB&J’s classic sweet & salty goodness to a whole new level! With all the taste of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and the crunch of peanut butter crackers, White Chocolate Dipped PB&J Snack Bites are wrapped in a layer of white chocolate that will satisfy even the choosiest of snackers.
