Now on to this week’s meals!!!


Monday: Crock Pot Shredded Beef

This month, we begin with our favorite fall-apart tender roast. It’s easy, fragrant and tastes amazing over egg noodles, instant mashed potatoes, or these creamy stove top mashed taters.

Tuesday: 30 Min Beef Ramen Stir Fry

Next up, we elevate those shredded beef leftovers with some stir fried veggies, a sweet/savory ginger soy and rice vinegar sauce, and a couple packages of ramen noodles.

Wednesday: 1905 Salad with Garlic Dressing

If you’ve followed us for any time at all, you know that I will NOT stop singing the praises of this ham, cheese, and olive salad. Regardless of your opinion of olives, I insist you reserve judgement until you try it. This salad is crisp, savory, and has a STUNNING homemade garlic vinaigrette dressing.

Thursday: Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

If you’re all about that crispy chicken skin, this recipe is the easiest way I know to get a chicken dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Using our homemade chicken seasoning, and the air fryer, this chicken goes perfectly with a wing-man of our sweet honey & thyme glazed carrots.

Friday: Classic Scrambled Egg Sandwiches

For brinner this week, we’re sticking with our classic cheesy egg sammies. The right (thinner sliced) sourdough bread and a ripe tomato can really put this one over the top.
