I really enjoy going through the recipes each week and choosing ones that I think you and your family will love. It is a small daily ritual to find and collect a few recipes here and there, to find that meal that is not only doable but feels special in its own right. This week’s menu is full of delicious dinners, fresh sides, soups, salads and a few things to spice up your week.
This Monday menu is a great way to start the week. Pork tenderloin with creamy mushroom sauce and pasta is rich, flavorful and feels a little special without being complicated.
I love this chopped salad, it’s fresh and crisp and balances the meal beautifully. And blackberry crisp is a simple dessert that ends everything on a sweet note. It’s a satisfying, well-rounded dinner that makes Monday feel easy and delicious.

Tuesdays feel like a little blast from the past with this tuna noodle casserole. It’s simple, comforting and brings back such good memories of family dinners. I’m leaving out the peas because they’re not my favorite, and they’re still just as delicious.
Roasted Brussels sprouts add a nice, slightly sweet crunch that balances out the creamy casserole. This is a simple, comforting dinner that feels familiar at best.

Wednesdays are always a favorite because this is the number one recipe on my blog, and it’s really delicious. The slow cooker does all the work, and the white chicken chili turns out creamy, flavorful, and very satisfying. I like to serve it with shredded cheese, nachos, fresh green onions, avocado slices and plenty of lime. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that never disappoints.
A zesty southwest salad adds a crisp, fresh side, and a honey cinnamon dessert is a simple, sweet ending. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that never disappoints.

Thursday is all about a great steak dinner, and we love to make grilled skirt steak whenever we can. This recipe walks you through how to grill it perfectly, and also offers an easy option for cooking it indoors in a cast iron skillet.
I serve it with Nani’s fried rice, using beef stock instead of chicken to complement the flavor of the steak.
This Crispy Oven Roasted Asparagus Adds a fresh, easy side that completes the meal. It’s a great dinner that always feels hearty and satisfying.

Friday is a fun dinner with Grandma LoBianco’s Famous Make-Ahead Meatballs, and it comes with a bit of a caveat. They’re so tender and delicious they might just take you away from heaven, you’ll just have to head over to the blog to see why! Served with the best Caesar salad with homemade dressing, this meal is simple, classic and always popular. This is one of my family’s favorite menus.

Saturday is a new recipe that I am really looking forward to trying. Cod and potatoes in rosemary cream are rich and comforting, and I love that I can use rosemary right from my herb garden. Baked green beans with bacon add a savory, crisp side that pairs well with the creamy fish.
It’s a comforting dinner with fresh flavors that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Sunday is such a treat with this menu. This Delicious Chicken Oscar Sounds fancy and a bit cheesy, yet it’s surprisingly easy to make. This Arugula Salad with Shaved Parmesan, tumor in a lemon vinaigrette Adds a fresh, peppery bite that perfectly balances the richness of the chicken.
It’s a special way to get a few close friends together and end the weekend on a delicious note.

Treat of the week has to be this one because I couldn’t resist pointing it out, Kit Kats are my favorite candy. A better-than-sex cake is rich, chocolaty and perfectly topped at its best. It’s a simple dessert that looks delightful and perfect for sharing, although I’d love to save it all for myself.
