Hey friends, I did not forget One The Menu this week. Just moved it to today because of a Spring Home Tour that was scheduled for Friday. You can see all of my Spring Home Tours HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Now, here’s what’s on the menu this week…

MONDAY

Mondays are such busy work days for me!!! And I really try to push out lots of work in the beginning of the week. So I look forward to a good dinner and a simple one!

My favorite chili is on the menu. I have two chili meals in the freezer so this will be a super easy meal!

I serve chili in a big shallow bowl along with what I call “fixings”. Sliced green onions, sour cream, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, and salsa. These toppings round out chili into a big meal!

• THE BEST CHILI
• FIXINGS
• AIR FRYER JALAPENO POPPERS
• JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

TUESDAY

Can you believe this recipe is WW-friendly? And it is so so delicious!!!!! Have you ever made rolls from lasagna noodles? They are so pretty and quite company-worthy.

I’m heating up my oven for Crack Chicken Roll-Up Lasagna from Jenna at Recipe Diaries. You see her recipes often here because she is a StoneGable Foodie Favorite blog and everything I make from her site is always a new favorite!

• CRACK CHICKEN ROLL UP LASAGNA
• CAESAR SALAD

WEDNESDAY

Oh, Bobby! We are grilling tonight! YUM! I love a good kabob! The marinade flavor for this dinner is delicious and so so summery! A big thank you to Natasha at Salt And Lavender for tonight’s kabob and salad meal!!!

Natasha is a StoneGable foodie favorite blog!

Grilled protein is a fabulous addition to a big salad for dinner! Please make homemade dressing like the one Natasha features with this recipe. It just takes a couple minutes to whip up a dressing and it makes the whole meal taste soooooo much better!

When it comes to most salad dressings I make them up in a mason jar, put the lid on the jar and shake it up! Any leftovers get stored in the jar in the frig!

• GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS WITH PEANUT LIME DRESSING
• ARUGULA SALAD WITH SHAVED PARMESAN AND PINE NUTS

THURSDAY

Oh my goodness! This is such glorious salmon! I have lots and lots of herbs growing like weeds so this is the perfect recipe for me!

I’ve made this salmon recipe from Michele at Paleo Running Momma several times and find that the salmon is perfectly done and very tender! And it’s so easy! I’d serve this to company!!! Thanks, so much Michele!

My favorite farmer’s market, Meck’s, has beautiful think asparagus. I’m getting a couple bunches and roasting it this evening.

When I plate the asparagus I squeeze a healthy dose of lemon juice on it. So good!

• BAKED SALMON IN FOIL WITH GARLIC, ROSEMARY, AND THYME
• PERFECTLY ROASTED ASPARAGUS

FRIDAY

Okay, let’s make some delicious chicken IN THE CROCKPOT to go in our tacos!!! I can’t wait to make this chicken.

I love crispy corn taco shells, lots of lettuce, tomatoes, and sliced black olives along with my chicken! So good!!!

Friday’s at StoneGable are all about easy to make meals! Bobby and I often eat on our patio while Bobby practices his chip shots in the back yard and listen to great music. So fun!

I’m hoping I have leftovers! The chicken will taste so good in a lettuce wrap for lunch too!

You will love Foodtastic Mom and Jill! She is a StoneGable Foodie Favorite blog! No wonder, her recipes are scrumptious, easy and cooking is her superpower!

• CROCKPOT CHICKEN TACOS
• REFRIED BEANS AND CHEESE

SATURDAY

Our son Christopher and his family are joining us for Easter this year. Actually, they are moving from Alexandria Va back to Lancaster. To say we am thrilled is such an understatement! We are overjoyed. So we are celebrating with a delicious steak dinner tonight.

Aren’t these steaks gorgeous! Thanks, Beth from Small Town Woman! I think every home cook should know how to make a killer steak! And there are many ways to make one. But there is something so flavorful about a steak on the grill!

Beth does a fabulous job of walking us through the whole procedure! She likes T Bone and so do I but my favorite is Ribeye! If I’m going to eat a steak I’m not worried about fat or calories! Steak is a treat!

And this steak is even more delicious because Beth finishes off her steak with herb butter. Oh yes!

Please give the potato salad a try. I’m making it for Easter brunch tomorrow but we are having some for dinner tonight. This is a big family favorite. Believe me, this potato salad is the best you will ever eat.

And wait until you see what I’m making for dessert!

• MARINATED HERB BUTTER T BONE STEAK
• THE BEST POTATO SALAD YOU WILL EVER EAT!
• CAESAR SALAD
• CHOCOLATE CHIP SKILLET COOKIE

SUNDAY

Happy Easter!

I pray you have a blessed day and can celebrate Resurrection Sunday with those you love.

Today we will be celebrating Easter with our son Christopher and his family, my mother and a neighbor.

And Easter is a day of traditional food! Brunch before Church and a big family dinner that has primarily been the same for decades and decades.

This is the dinner my mother served us and I served our family when our children was little. Ham, potato salad, pineapple casserole are all staples on our Easter table.

This year I’m making Roasted Green Beans And Bacon instead of the iconic Green Bean Casserole. Sorry, Son!

And I’m making an easy and scrumptious Strawberry Galette. The recipe below is for a Rhubarb galette but this recipe will work with any fruit.

I think this recipe is a keeper because it is so easy and versatile!

• COSTCO SPIRAL HAM
• NANI’S POTATO SALAD
• PINEAPPLE CASSEROLE
• ROASTED GREEN BEANS AND BACON
• STRAWBERRY GALETTE

SWEET TREAT OF THE WEEK…

We can get delicious zucchini at our local farmer’s market and at Costco. I used to wait till zucchini was ready in my garden before I would make my repertoire of wonderful zucchini recipes. But now I can get pretty decent zucchini almost all year round I’m making my Glazed Streusel Topped Zucchini Bread for our family this week.

Zucchini really has no taste but infused baked goods with the most marvelous moistness and texture!

Of all my zucchini recipes I think I like this the best. But don’t tell GLAZED LEMON ZUCCHINI CAKE (okay that ties for the favorite), or ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD. On second thought, I like them all the best!

Just make these easy zucchini loving baked goods! You will be so happy you did!

• GLAZED STREUSEL TOPPED ZUCCHINI BREAD
