Time for this week’s dinner ideas! This week’s meals were perfectly easy, quick, and delicious for a busy schedule!
Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas!
This week we made a simple, delicious meals that were a hit for the whole family! It was a busy week so we made dinners that were easy and used up ingredients we already had in the fridge but also made some fun items for April Fools Day and our church conference!
Here’s a quick review of our weekly dinners:
Monday:April Fools Dinner, spaghetti and meatballs with green beans and cantaloupe
Every year for April Fool’s Day I do a silly little dinner for our family. They think it’s hilarious and it makes for some fun memories! This year I gave everyone a dice and numbered all the food and you had to roll for your food and eat it in order. I made spaghetti and meatballs, using the meatballs from this Italian wedding soup recipe, cause it’s the best!
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Black Bean Tostadas & Strawberries
This recipe was delicious and super quick and easy for a busy weeknight. I added ground beef for a little extra substance and protein, and subbed the black beans mix for Siete brand refried black beans. I also added cherry tomatoes to the corn salsa. This was a hit!
Thursday: Eggs, bacon, and Kringle Danish
PW was gone for a work dinner on Thursday, and I got home late from football practice with my youngest, so we made scrambled eggs, bacon, and the Kringle Danish a friend had brought over earlier that day. I’d never had a Kringle before, but it was a raspberry one and it was AMAZING. She got it at Trader Joes!
Friday: Pizza
We have leftover ham from Easter dinner, and that’s always the best excuse to make all the ham recipes! I’m making ham and pineapple pizza and always use Mel’s Kitchen Cafe’s pizza dough for any pizza I make.
Saturday: Cinnamon Rolls
This weekend is a weekend long conference for my church, and it’s kind of tradition to make cinnamon rolls. I’ve been using this recipe for years and it’s by far the best homemade cinnamon roll recipe I’ve ever made. I’ve screwed up plenty over the years, but this one always turns out great. I usually make half cinnamon and half raspberry rolls, using this recipe.
Sunday: Lasagna
I’ve been making this lasagna for the last few years and it’s tremendous and not too much work! Definitely recommend.
Cute! Would you recommend getting a shorter trench over a longer one? I would love some styling tips about which to choose! I just purchased a longer one and I am debating on returning it or getting it shortened or wearing it as is.
