It’s the start of a new month and it’s the start of a new week, time to get our meal plans ready. 

If you need a few dinner ideas see what’s cooking at our house below…

This week we’ll be having soup because the weather has turned cooler. Soup always sounds so good for dinner when it’s cold outside.

We’ll also be having tacos in bowls instead of the shell. It’s a nice change of pace for us if you haven’t given the taco bowl recipe a try, you should.

I’ve made the glazed pork chops a couple of times now and they are so good. They can be inexpensive too if you cut your own pork chops from a pork loin. It’s not hard to do at all.

When the cold weather sets in it’s time to eat soup, chili, and stews. They warm you up from the inside out. This week we are having the soup my grandma used to make for me all the time and we’ll be making skillet chili too. 

It’s a quick chili recipe for the busy day. 

Finally we’ll be having two chicken recipes, parmesan chicken and sweet chili chicken and a quick sheet pan dinner too.

Here’s what’s cooking at our house this week

Dinners

A quick and easy dinner, taco bowls. These are made with ground beef and are quick to make. Just a few simple ingredients are all that is needed. They are a favorite at our house.

Taco Bowls, Chips and Salsa

Glazed Pork Chops, Baked Potatoes, and Salad

Skillet Chili, Cornbread, and Salad

Chicken Parmesan, Noodles, French Bread, and Salad

Potato Soup, Salad and Bread

Sweet Chili Chicken with Roasted Vegetables

Sausage and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner with Salad

Lunches

Leftover most days

Tomato Soup and Sandwiches

Burritos, Chips and Salsa

Breakfast

I don’t think you can ever have too many breakfast recipes. This chocolate chip scone recipe is one of our favorites. These chocolate chip sones have no heavy cream, in fact they are dairy free scones. Another plus is you can make them in the skillet, so you don’t have to heat up the house on warmer days to bake them.

Toast, Eggs and Oatmeal

Chocolate Chip Scones, Eggs and Sausage

Pancakes, Eggs and Sausage

    1. We had the Taco Bowls last night, they were so good. My son and husband ate them over chips instead of rice but everyone was happy. 🙂

  1. This looks so delicious! My husband and I are dedicating 2019 to better kitchen experiences, and I’m learning as we prepare for this challenge (normally, I microwave frozen burritos and call it dinner, haha), meal planning and grocery lists that coincide with this meal is going to be essential to the sanity in our kitchen!

    1. Meal planning is a life saver here. I don’t know how much cooking I’d get done if I didn’t plan. 🙂
