Time for this week’s dinner ideas! It was a really busy week with a lot of events, but I loved the time we had to eat together at home.

Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas

Time for this week’s dinner ideas! While we had a lot more meals out/leftovers than normal, I still wanted to share what a busy week of dinners looks like for us.

Here’s a quick review of our weekly dinners: 

MondayHamburgers + Roasted Green Beans

The boys requested hamburgers this week, and typically I would make them with fries, but after a week of Thanksgiving dinner and lots of other big meals, I went with leftover green beans and roasted them up for a slightly healthier side dish. Yum!

Tuesday: Breakfast Burritos

These are a super easy dinner that I make often. Everyone loves them! I don’t really use a recipe — just ground sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese, with a little bit of salsa.

Wednesday: Tortellini Sausage Soup

This is one of our all time favorite soups. It’s hearty and delicious and easy to toss together. Perfect for soup season!

Thursday: Turkey Noodle Soup (leftovers)

I made turkey noodle soup with the leftover turkey (and homemade broth from the turkey carcass) after Thanksgiving, and we had a giant pot of it, so we’re doing leftovers to get through it!

Friday: Order in Pizza

Saturday: Barbacoa Tacos

Usually we eat out or order in on Saturdays, but since we ordered pizza on Friday, we did crockpot tacos for Saturday dinner. I love a meal that can cook all day and be ready in the evening!

Sunday: Short Rib Bolognese with homemade noodles

I haven’t made this recipe in a while, and it’s been a while since I made homemade noodles! This is a great Sunday dinner!

Sunday Dessert: Chocolate Scotcheroos

One of our favorite family desserts!

Winter Wonderland Dinner Menu

This week has been crazy busy with lots of sports and work and holiday events, so there wasn’t much cooking! But I hosted a “winter wonderland” themed dinner for some friends on Monday night, and I had lots of questions about the menu, so I wanted to share the full menu here!

We typically do potluck style for friend dinners, but this time I decided to make dinner and spoil my friends a bit, and my wonderful friend, Mary, stepped in and helped me make it happen.

We each made one soup, I made rolls and dessert, she made cheese bread and a salad, and I got all the ingredients for four different crostinis and when our friends arrived we all assembled them together. I also got ingredients for 2 mocktails and we mixed those during the party.

Crostini Appetizers:

Soups:

Breads:

Mocktails:

Dessert:

  • Berry trifle – I didn’t use a recipe, but I did layers of pound cake, homemade whipped cream, and fresh berries in a large cup. I added a sprig of rosemary and a mini candy cane for a festive look!
