Monday Menu includes the all the recipes your need to make 2 complete meals with leftovers, plus breakfast, dessert and a snack.

There are lots of delicious recipes here at Southern Discourse, but only Monday Menu shows you how to put them together to make great meals! Vegetable side dishes, tasty salads and hearty casseroles are what this week is all about. And they are going to make getting dinner on the table easy and delicious!

Menu 1 - Cheesy Meat & Potatoes Casserole

Meat & Potatoes Ranch Au Gratin

This layered, cheesy meat & potatoes casserole is made even better with the zestiness of Ranch dressing baked right into the cheese sauce. This is a quintessential comfort food, family dinner recipe that is sure to become a regular at your dinner table!

Skillet Roasted Lemon Asparagus

Skillet Roasted Lemon Asparagus is a quick and easy side dish that can elevate almost any meal! It’s no secret that I am not a huge fan veggies. I don’t mind them so much in the raw, like in a salad. But there’s just something about salty, lemony roasted asparagus that I can’t pass up!

Apple, Cheese, Celery Salad

This simple salad plays off the classic pairing of sweet apples and mildly salty cheese with the crisp crunch of celery and a sprinkling of walnuts. 

Menu 2- Baked Beans All-in-One

Southern Baked Beans and Sausage

Pork and beans, spicy ground sausage and an easy but rich homemade sauce team up to make an unforgettably flavor-packed side or main dish in this hearty baked bean recipe. Classic Southern Baked Beans and Sausage is a genuine must-have for busy weeknights!

Southern Deviled Egg Potato Salad

Southern Deviled Egg Potato Salad is one of the dreamiest, tastiest side dishes around!  It combines all the flavors of deviled eggs with red onion, pickles and tender potatoes to create a fluffy, tangy salad that’s perfect for cookouts, potlucks, tailgates, even holidays!

Garlic Parmesan Carrot Fries

Everyone loves to dip and enjoy crispy, seasoned fries. But those fries don’t have always have to be of the potato variety! Carrots make fabulous fries. Tossed in a little olive oil, Parmesan cheese and just the right seasoning, carrots bake up to be slightly sweet, crisp delights!

Dessert This Week!

This simple bread pudding recipe makes one of the most heavenly, decadent desserts there is!  With a touch of cinnamon & a sprinkle of pecans, this easy New Orleans favorite only amps up the sweet southern charm with a generous drizzle of rich whiskey cream sauce.

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

So light and fluffy, this Marshmallow Champagne Fruit Dip is a sweet cloud of heavenly goodness just begging to be scooped up by berries, grapes and all manner of fruit.  This dreamy dip comes together in just 5 minutes or less with only 4 ingredients!
