Time for this week’s dinner ideas! I am taking advantage of being in town this week, this summer has felt crazy, and it was nice to slow down a bit and make dinner each night.

Crepes
On Mondays, one of the boys chooses the meal and helps me cook. B chose to do a crepe bar, so we made savory and sweet crepes with our favorite crepe recipe from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe.
Homemade Tamales ad Charro Beans
We’ve made these tamales before, and it’s a great way to use up green Chile (we had that last week). But this time I made homemade charro beans with them and they were DELICIOUS. Easy to make, so flavorful, and great with the tamales. We’ll be making these again for sure.
Italian Wedding Soup
This is another favorite soup recipe. The meatballs are delicious! Sometimes I make extra and freeze them, but usually they just get gobbled up by hungry boys. They’re so good.
Bacon Mushroom Pizza
One of our favorite pizza recipes! It’s just olive oil, cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and cooked mushrooms. We also use this pizza dough recipe.
Red Beans and Rice
This is one of our favorites! I always tone down the creole seasoning so it’s not so spicy for my kids. I’m serving with cornbread muffins!
Salted Carmel Ice Cream
We’ve made homemade ice cream a few times already this summer, and here’s another one we’re adding to the list! It looks so tasty.
