Hello and happy Sunday!
This week's meal plan includes: Creamy mushroom sauce chicken, pasta puttanesca, chicken pot pie, butternut squash beef stew, tuna noodle casserole, with a baked brie party appetizer, and mix and match sides.
The Main Dish:
• Monday Main: Creamy Mushroom & Leek Chicken - Shake up your boring chicken breast routine with this spectacular creamy mushroom chicken that's on the table in 30 minutes!
• Tuesday Main: Pasta Puttanesca - I love a good pantry staple meal! This puttanesca could be the ultimate pantry pasta recipe with all ingredients but the garlic and fresh basil coming straight from the cupboard.
• Wednesday Main: Chicken Pot Pie - This pot pie is a comfort food classic, with chunks of white chicken and lots of veggies in a lush, savory gravy made with cream cheese and wrapped in the flakiest all-butter pie crust!
• Thursday Main: Butternut Squash Beef Stew - Tender chuck roast pairs with classic stew vegetables and butternut squash for extra nutrition in a velvety sauce! Instant Pot, slow cooker, and stove top instructions.
• Friday Main: Tuna Noodle Casserole - No sad, canned, cream of something soup in this recipe. Homemade sauce makes a noodle casserole that’s lush and silky instead of clumpy and goopy.
• Appetizer: Baked Brie - 'Tis the season for holiday parties! This melty brie topped with cranberries, fig jam, candied nuts, and fresh thyme just hits all the right notes!
Mix & Match Sides:
• Side 1: Easy Lemon Rice - Jazz up pain rice by building flavor with simple ingredients like lemon, parsley, and butter.
• Side 2: Garlic Bread - There’s no better way to sop up stew or swipe that last lick of pasta sauce from the bowl than a slice of crisp, buttery, garlic bread!.
• Side 3: Roasted Veggies - Roasted veggies turn crisp and caramelized when simply seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper and cooked at high heat!
• Side 4: Simple Arugula Salad - This salad goes with pretty much anything, is ready in 5 minutes, and there are so many ways to customize it.
