Creole Shrimp Foil Packets are quick, easy and make clean up a snap. Salmon with Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce only takes 15 minutes in the pan. This week’s Monday Menu is built on speed and ease while breathing some new life into that dinner rotation by offering meal ideas without beef or chicken!
This Week’s Secret To Success
- This week’s menu ideas are perfect for those times when you want to take a break from the regular chicken and beef routine.
- Both salmon and shrimp cook up quickly and easily making the occasional switch from chicken and beef dinners even more of a welcome change!
- Additionally, the recipes that create this week’s meal ideas have lots of shared ingredients, like parmesan cheese, cream, chicken broth, butter and lemons.
- Choosing recipes that use many of the same ingredients is a great meal planning strategy.
- It makes grocery shopping easier and also cuts down on wasted ingredients because you don’t have to store things like a half of lemon, part of a block of cheese or other things you might not quickly use again.
A successful meal isn’t just about tasty or convenient recipes. It starts in the kitchen with ingredients, measurements and cook times, but it ends around the table with those you love.
So, don’t forget to make a plan for you table this week too!
Here are some of the things I keep on hand. I use many of them week after week. (Here are other times I’ve used them!) They make meal time special and inviting others over fun and easy.
