Let Monday Menu plan your meals this week with a delicious classic pot roast dinner, a quick and easy casserole, plus make ahead breakfast, dessert and weekend snack recipes. Knowing what to make for dinner just got a whole lot easier!

Monday Menu Meal Planning Title Collage

A little meal planning goes a long way when it comes to taking the hassle out of deciding what to eat! Instead of asking “what’s for dinner” every single night of the week, ask it just once with Monday Menu and the whole week is pretty much set!

Monday Menus always include all of the recipes for two complete family meals, a make ahead breakfast, snacks to have on hand after school or for the weekends, and even a dessert to sweeten the deal. Let Monday Menu think about what to cook so you don’t have to!

Menu 1- Sunday Roast Dinner

Classic Family Pot Roast

Nothing says family Sunday dinner like a melt-in-your-mouth, fork tender Classic Family Pot Roast.  Cooked low and slow with beef broth, red wine, savory seasonings, aromatics and plenty of dinner vegetables, this classic comfort food recipe has been gathering friends and families around the dinner table for more years than we can count!

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!

Savory Rosemary Cheddar Biscuits

This easy homemade biscuit recipe is filled aromatic rosemary, sharp cheddar, black pepper and brushed with garlic butter for a scrumptious, savory quick bread that’s perfect with soups, stews or a welcoming side with dinner.  Tender, fluffy with crisp, salty tops, nothing says home like a good biscuit.

Menu 2- Easy Casserole Night

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole

Classic chicken and rice meets creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip in this Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole recipe with rice for an amazingly delicious all-in-one comfort dish that’s dreamy indulgent and perfect for every occasion!

Sauteed Green Beans with Bacon & Mushrooms

A good green bean recipe is a staple for the family table. But if you think bland, boring or just something to round out the meal when you hear green beans, then you’ve never had them quite like this. Sautéed with bacon and baby portabellas, these green beans are bursting with rich, earthy favors that you just won’t believe! Love green bean casserole, but don’t love all that goes in it? Well, this is your recipe too!

Classic Fruit Salad with Old Fashioned Cream Sauce

Let’s talk fruit salad.  It’s sweet and tart, crisp and crunchy.  It positively zings with flavor!  Made right, it’s all the things a special dish should be. Not to mention it’s as versatile as the day is long.  Fruit salad has earned a rightful spot on holiday tables, at picnics, potlucks, brunches, Sunday dinners. At my house, it even gets eaten as dessert.  Ah, fruit salad.  The stuff of dreams.

Dessert This Week!

Perfect for all your holiday and seasonal gatherings, this quick and easy no bake recipe let’s you enjoy all the flavors of a homemade pumpkin pie in one perfect little bite.  Pumpkin pie has never been so easy! Rich, creamy pumpkin filling, fluffy cream cheese topping, toasted pecans and a sprinkle of cinnamon all fit neatly in a crisp phyllo cup and your busy schedule!

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

Weekends here have been filled with football days and movie + game nights, with a few cozy fire pit evenings thrown in here and there. Whether we’re enjoying one or all three with just us or with friends, an All Fun, No Fuss Popcorn Bar is always the favorite weekend snack choice!
