    Having a little plan for what you and your family will eat during the week makes the mealtimes run so much more smoothly! And this week’s Monday Menu has some winners that are guaranteed to take a load off when hunger strikes.

    From a quick and easy quiche + soup meal to a big family casserole that could even use up that last bit of holiday ham and turkey if you needed it too, this week is sure to be nothing if not delicious!

    Sheet pan eggs in a basket help you get breakfast on the table all at once, while thumbprint coconut macaroons satisfy your sweet tooth and a super easy snack is ready to go when the munchies hit or friends come over!

    Menu 1- Quiche & Easy

    Sausage Mushroom Quiche with Parmesan

    This easy recipe for Sausage Mushroom Quiche bakes up delectable goodness every time.  Loaded with savory Shiitake mushrooms, ground sausage, fresh spinach and sharp Parmesan cheese, this quiche is guaranteed to be your favorite for breakfast, lunch or dinner! 

    Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

    Creamy Tomato Basil Soup is easy comfort served up in a bowl! With a base of carrots, onions, celery, chicken broth and butter simmered with bright tomato puree, fresh basil and cream, layer after layer of surprising rich, savory flavor make this simple classic a heart and soul favorite everyone craves.

    Blueberry Spinach Salad with Orange Poppy Seed Dressing

    Some days nothing beats a fresh spinach salad loaded with blueberries, green apples, almonds & feta. It just lightens things up!  And topped with an easy homemade orange poppy seed dressing, this delightfully bright & refreshing salad is hard to beat!

    Menu 2- Amazing Leftovers... or Not!

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

    Enjoy all the flavors of deliciously rich & cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu in a easy pasta casserole that will blow your family away!  Ham, chicken and penne pasta all wrapped in a creamy swiss cheese sauce and topped with a crisp panko topping is unbelievably delicious comfort food that is sure to earn a regular spot on your dinner table. Perfect for leftover holiday ham and turkey!

    Southern Green Beans & New Potatoes with Bacon

    Southern Green Beans and New Potatoes is a simple, hearty side dish recipe that delivers savory, fork tender vegetables with loads of homey, southern flavor! Fresh green beans, baby red potatoes, chicken broth, bacon and a little butter and garlic are all you need for this classic recipe that goes with any meal!

    Dessert This Week!

    coconut thumbprint macaroons stacked

    Coconut macaroons are a wonderfully easy and fabulous little treat. After all when your main ingredients are sweetened coconut and condensed milk, how can you really go wrong? But make them a Coconut Thumbprint Macaroon by filling them with raspberry jam and dipping them in dark chocolate… well, now you’re talking “we’re having a moment here” good.

    Here’s What We’re Snacking On

    2 bowls of Christmas Snack Mix

    This little recipe (if you can call it that- just 4 ingredients poured in a bowl!) is definitely one that we have on repeat this month!  It is so easy, makes more than plenty and is one of The Engineer’s absolute favorites.  Salty, crunchy and just sweet enough, I can’t think of a single thing you might do this holiday season where this Peanut Butter and Chocolate Christmas Snack Mix won’t be a hit. 

    Making Breakfast Easy

    Finished Eggs in a Basket served for breakfast

    Eggs in a Basket, also known as Egg in the Hole, combine all the yumminess of an egg and toast breakfast in a one bite without all the hassle of making separate dishes- breakfast sandwich par excellence.  This is twice as true when you add sausage and cook several at a time on a sheet pan right in your oven!  No more standing over the stove with spatula and skillet.  With this easy recipe, you can make enough Eggs in a Basket for the whole family at once.
