On The Menu Week Of June 6th
Need ideas for dinner this week? I have 7 scrumptious dinner menus and 31 delicious recipes just for you! Main dishes, side dishes, salads, soups, breads, desserts, and great tips and ideas for making every meal its best! Here's what's on the menu week of June 6th.
Let’s eat good food this week! And speaking of good food. Last week I made Julia Child’s beef bourguignon and it was easily one of the best things I have ever made. You can find it On The Menu # 218. It pays to try new things! This week’s menu is full of delicious recipes too. YUM!
This week 31 scrumptious recipes are waiting for you!
MONDAY- SLOW COOKER DAY
Hey friends, this is a dinner I can make with my eyes closed!!!! I have a super busy day today so I’ll be making this meal in the slow cooker and making fresh spaghetti from the refrigerator section of my grocer’s.
I keep the Ceasar dressing in the freezer in ice cube trays so I can pull a couple out, and thaw them. Super easy!
This is a company-worthy dinner that I can put together in a flash! It’s all about planning!
If you make one thing this week, you should actually make two! Make the meatballs and Caesar salad!
Just a word about the Caesar Salad recipe… this is an o-l-d recipe. And for some reason, the images are not showing up. But the recipe is there. I’ll retake the images and fix the post soon. Thanks for being patient!
TUESDAY
I have a foodie blog crush this week. I just found an amazing site for healthy and delicious recipes. If you don’t know Lee from Fit Foodie Finds you should! I want to make everything on her wonderful blog! YUM!
What a great recipe for a busy evening! I’ll tenderize the meat before freezing it, take it out of the freezer and cut it frozen and then let it thaw until for dinner. Makes cutting meat thin so much easier!
WEDNESDAY
I LOVE crunchy food! But I don’t love heavy fried food. I’m so enjoying panko encrusted food cooked in an air fryer! Wow! If you know just a few secrets you can get very crispy food with great taste!
Tonight’s crispy main dish is from Rhonda at Kitchen Dreaming! What a scrumptious-looking recipe!
Tonight’s dinner is a take on kid-favorite comfort food, just for me and Bobby!
- AIR FRYER PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS
- GREEK YOGURT RANCH DRESSING
- CAULIFLOWER MAC AND CHEESE
- PERFECTLY ROASTED ASPARAGUS
THURSDAY- AIR FRYER DAY
Do you remember eating Salmon Cakes as a child? It was a staple in our family.
These salmon cakes are a bit more sophisticated and full of lots of flavorful ingredients! And the tartar sauce is homemade!
I still use canned salmon because it is easy.
These salon cakes have a crunch outside and a tender inside because they are air fried! However, if you don’t have an air fryer you can pan fry them in just a little bit of neutral oil.
If you make one thing this week, the salmon cakes should be it!
- THE BEST AIR FRYER SALMON CAKES
- WILD RICE MUSHROOM PILAF
- ARUGULA WITH TOASTED PINENUTS, SHAVED PARMESAN IN A LEMON VINAIGRETTE
FRIDAY- BREAKFAST FOR DINNER
We think Fridays after work are fun evenings! Movies, games, and easy dinner. Bobby LOVES breakfast so tonight’s dinner is a gorgeous breakfast casserole!
I’ll put Bobby’s casserole on top of Canadian Bacon and toasted brioche. Just for you darling!
Thanks for the scrumptious breakfast recipe Gina, from Skinnytaste!
- SPINACH. FETA AND ARTICHOKE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
- TOAST SOLDIER BRIOCHE
- CANDIED BACON
SATURDAY- COMPANY’S COMING
I can’t wait to make this gorgeous rolled flank steak from Homemade Hoopla for a casual company dinner! The flavors are just divine and the presentation is impressive!
My secret to a stress-free dinner is to prep ahead all week and make as much as I can!
I make a timeline and work backward and check things off as they get done!
- GREEN SALAD WITH ORANGES, BEETS, AND AVOCADO SALAD
- BAKED STUFFED FLANK STEAK
- MASHED CELERY ROOT POTATOES
- PERFECTLY ROASTED ASPARAGUS
- NICE CREAM WITH SHORTBREAD COOKIES
SUNDAY- SOUP’S ON
This week’s soup is a healthier version of Broccoli Cheese Soup from Mommy’s Fabulous Finds.
Broccoli has so much flavor we should make it and not the cheese the star!
Leftovers are Bobby’s for lunch next week.
- CROCKPOT BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
- CRUSTY BREAD
SWEET TREAT OF THE WEEK
I’m so excited to make this nice cream this week. I have a feeling I’ll be making it a lot! I’m not a huge sweet eater but a little bit of chocolate does taste delicious in the evening!
This amazing and easy recipe comes from Lee at Fit Foodie Finds!
