    Monday Menu #66

     

    Monday Menu #66 is celebrating back to school this week! 2 delicious menus, the dessert of the week, plus a peek at our favorite back to school snack and breakfast on the go!

    Monday Menu Title Collage

    It’s the time of year again. The time when we start having to think about backpacks, schedules and delicious dinners over which we can sit down together and share our days.

    This week’s Monday Menu celebrates the big “start back” with a classic back-to-school meal, a fluffy peanut butter fruit dip recipe as an afternoon snack and even the perfect breakfast sandwich recipe to boot! Back to school is going to be so easy and delicious this year!

    And since summer isn’t reall all that over, I also put together an “end of summer garden menu.” Because let’s face it, it’s August, it’s hot and it’s prime pickings for okra and corn! Check out menu #2 for a little garden freshness.

    Menu 1- Back to School Special

    Easy One Pot Beef Stroganoff

    Enjoy all the comforting classic flavors of rich beef stroganoff in an easy one pot recipe!  Perfect for busy weeknights, but special enough for guests, luscious sour cream sauce, savory ground beef & mushrooms and silky egg noodles make every night a warm comfort food night!

    Classic 7 Layer Pea Salad

    Bright & crisp, Classic 7 Layer Pea Salad wows with pops of green peas, salty bacon, cubed cheddar, lettuce, tomato and green onions all topped with a creamy dressing! A perfect side dish for cookouts, potlucks, holidays and even family meals, this easy salad is as pretty as it is tasty!

    Shortcut Pull Apart Rolls

    These easy dinner rolls offer up homemade yeast roll goodness with a simple semi-homemade approach!  These tender, buttery rolls are the perfect complement to any holiday or family dinner, not to mention soups & salads.  They’re so easy you just might not want to have a meal without them!

    Menu 2- End Of Summer Garden Meal

    Ultimate Okra & Tomatoes Skillet with Smoked Sausage

    Summer okra, fresh diced tomatoes sauteed with smoked sausage and served over rice for a deliciously quick and easy seasonal meal full of rich, savory flavor!  Just 4 ingredients and 20 minutes is all it takes to make this ultimate Southern summer meal.

    Southern Cornbread Pudding

    A classic southern side dish that falls somewhere between a sweet, buttery cornbread muffin and a creamy, rich soufflé, Southern Cornbread pudding is the ultimate easy comfort recipe. Whipped up quick with Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, creamed and whole kernel corn, this simple dish will find it’s way onto your weeknight & holiday tables!

    Dessert this Week!

    This is one dessert everyone will love to help make as well as eat! Enjoy bold lemony flavor with this easy Lemon Monkey Bread recipe & its rich lemon curd glaze. Canned biscuits, a sprinkle of sweetness and our secret ingredient– jello (that’s right)– make it so easy. Outrageously delicious, moist and full of tart lemon flavor, you’ll swear you’ve captured a bit of sunshine with each bite.

    Here’s What We’re Snacking On

    If you have some serious peanut butter lovers at your house like I do, then you are going to fall in love with this quick and easy Fluffy Peanut Butter Fruit Dip. It is absolutely perfect as an after school snack or just an afternoon pick me up for you! Whipped peaks of sweet peanut butter clouds are just waiting for apple slices, celery, carrots, strawberries, pretzels… whatever you you have a mind to dip!
