Weekly Menu {4/15–4/21}

Some weeks my menu comes together easily, and some weeks it takes a long time to pull together. This week felt more like the latter. I think part of the reason is that our weather is all over the map this week, and it was hard to decide what direction to go with the menu because of it.

All that to say, here’s what’s on the menu.

Monday—Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwiches with Spinach Salad with Bacon and Eggs

Tuesday—Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup + Crusty Bread

Wednesday—Chicken with roasted cherry tomatoes served over spaghetti noodles. At the end of the summer, I made several batches of these Roasted Cherry Tomatoes preserved in oil. I still have a jar left in the fridge that I am going to use up. I cook the chicken breasts in our cast iron skillet and then add the cherry tomatoes to warm them. Serve everything over spaghetti noodles for a super easy, delicious dinner.

Here is a recipe I found that also looks tasty and uses roasted tomatoes—Creamy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes.

Thursday—Meatball Soup

Friday—Homemade Pizza. I like to use this Bobby Flay recipe for my pizza dough, but I have also used this one from King Arthur Flour—The Easiest Pizza You’ll Ever Make—with good success. I am considering trying this Detroit Style Pizza for this time. And in terms of toppings, I like sausage and peppers, but my kids always want pepperoni.

Saturday—Orange Sesame Chicken and Rice. This is pretty simple to put together, and the kids like it. Win-win.

Sunday—Milk-braised Dijon Chicken served over mashed potatoes. I always love how this recipe turns out, and it is the perfect comfort food for a cozy Sunday night.

Have a great week!
