This week’s Menus are all about choices! Make both meals or just make the one you like best! Make all the side dishes or swap out for something you and your family will like better. And for dessert this week, choose between King Cake and Easy Biscuit Beignets! There’s no way to lose!

It’s all about getting meals on the table as easily as possible. So skip the planning and let Monday Menu do the work for you. And don’t forget to check out the breakfast and snack recipes for the week too!

Dessert This Week!

Since Tuesday is Mardi Gras, choose this week’s dessert from these 2 great recipes! I couldn’t make up my mind when it came to choosing between Easy Cinnamon Roll King Cakes and Quick Louisiana Biscuit Beignets. Both are such great choices! So, I thought I would include them both in this week’s menu. Each is a simple, fun recipe you can whip up in a snap. Hmmm… maybe we should all make both!

Here’s What We’re Snacking On

This easy recipe for Avocado Strawberry Salsa is both sweet & just a little spicy. It is a sunny bowl of ripe strawberries, red onions, light cilantro, smooth avocado, with a pinch of jalapeno heat.

Making Breakfast Easy

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.
