Your October Meal Plan is Here!
Clinging to the last of our fresh seasonal ingredients (and sanity...)
It’s October, and as summer sweetness gives way to the savory comfort of shareable large batch potluck meals, casseroles, and slow cooker favorites, this month’s meals are embracing the chaos of busier schedules by providing more quick easy recipes that fit into a more predictable routine.

Now on to this week’s meals!!!
Monday: Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese
Who doesn’t love Mac and Cheese? This recipe starts with a kid-approved creamy mac recipe and adds a baked cheesy layer of herby panko breadcrumbs on top. This recipe is geared toward mass-appeal, but if you crave more robust cheesy flavor, start with our Ultimate Four Cheese Mac as your base…
Tuesday: Fresh Tomato Basil Soup
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Right now, life is hurling tomatoes our way, so…
Wednesday: Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken and Vegetables
It takes about 20 minutes of prep to get this sheet pan meal into the oven, but you are richly rewarded with a meat and potatoes and veggies meal that’s comforting, heart-warming, and really saves you time since you won’t have to make any sides (and the dirty dishes cleanup is minimal). That’s a thumbs up in my book.
Thursday: Pear and Pecan Autumn Salad with Goat Cheese
Summer salads get all the love, but THIS healthy beauty brings the best that Fall has to offer, combining some incredible seasonal flavors and textures.
Friday: Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Let “Brinner” this week be blessed by that trip to the apple orchard. We add some cinnamon flavor to our fluffy buttermilk pancakes, and top a stack of these flapjacks with some pie apples and an easy homemade cider syrup. MMMMM!
