Monday Menu title collage of 2 meal planning menus

This week’s Monday Menu comes in strong with 10 tasty recipes and 2 perfectly delicious menus! Menu 1 is all about the secret ingredients that make your favorite dishes so good! While Menu 2 is classic all the way with chicken tenders, mac & cheese and lemonade.

And the snack, dessert and breakfast ideas of week promise to make everyone just as happy. Zesty buffalo, rich chocolate and tart blackberries round out the week with flavor, surprise and lots of smiles!

Menu 1- Secret Ingredients

Secret Ingredient Ham & Swiss Quiche

There’s nothing like the classic combo of savory ham and punchy Swiss cheese. This easy-to-make quiche takes your favorites to the next level with a little green onion, red pepper flakes, dried mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce. Plus a secret ingredient inspired by every great ham and swiss sandwich to make sure your quiche is rich, velvety and oh-so, just right!

Broccoli Slaw with Apples & Brussel Sprouts

Making a light seasonal dish is easy with this deliciously crunchy Broccoli Slaw recipe.  Loaded with apples, brussel sprouts, bacon and walnuts and topped with a simple Dijon vinaigrette, this versatile side dish is has what it takes to satisfy at family gatherings, tailgates and potlucks, but also makes for the perfect simple lunch.  

Lyonnaise Potatoes- Skillet Potatoes & Sweet Onions

Another Louisiana favorite, French Lyonnaise Potatoes are simply pan-fried potatoes with crisp edges, laced with tender, caramelized sweet onions, bathed in plenty of butter and topped with a sprinkle of parsley. 

Menu 2- Classic Casual Chicken Tenders

Crispy Ranch Chicken Tenders

If seriously tasty chicken strips are your thing, then Crispy Ranch Chicken Tenders are for you! Loaded with all the flavor of buttermilk and Ranch seasoning for extra special oomph, these chicken tenders are bound to become your favorite easy fried chicken recipe.

Crisp Apple Coleslaw with Homemade Buttermilk Dressing

Looking for an easy, but new side dish? This bright apple coleslaw with its easy homemade buttermilk dressing is just what you need.  A perfect go-to side dish , the apples give regular coleslaw a flavor update while buttermilk makes the dressy oh-so tangy and smooth.

Ultimate Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese

This easy homemade mac & cheese recipe is one of the creamiest, cheesiest recipes around! And you’re going to love how easy it is to make- no flour, no roux, just simple cheesy goodness. One taste of it’s rich, velvety sauce with a special pepper jack kick, and you’ll never want to make any other mac & cheese again.

Refreshing Mint Lemonade

Nothing beats a tall glass of homemade lemonade, and nothing gets more refreshing than homemade lemonade made with added cool, crisp mint! This easy Mint Lemonade recipe using a quick mint simple syrup and freshly squeezed lemons is an unbelievably special drink you’ll always want to have on hand.

Dessert This Week!
