Easy Fall Dinners
Weekly Dinner Meal Plan: October 8 – 12
A 5 night, Weekly Dinner Meal Plan that’s easy, seasonal, and healthy. Plus, a weekly treat you won’t want to miss.
It’s been a stormy few days — and I know it’s only the beginning. As I write out our menu for the coming week, I’m hungry for all the flavors of fall.
The evenings are growing chilly, and dark. It’s time to warm up in the kitchen with some cozy options. LIke chili, and squash, and soup… and, of course, pumpkin!
It’s my favorite time of the year. (Well, except for Christmas… and winter)!
Get out your calendar… make some notes… and come cook with us.
It’s what for dinner this week!
Have a great week!

Tuesday: One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
“Pesto lovers, this recipe is for you! We loaded this pasta dish with a creamy pesto sauce, fresh spinach and flavor-packed chicken for an easy weeknight meal the whole family will love.” A few days ago, I posted some of my favorite Costco products — including a delicious Pesto!
Thursday: Fast Pan-Fried Salmon

This Honey Garlic Salmon recipe is one of the easiest ways to cook salmon. It’s one-pan meal that’s both sweet and savory with a delicious sauce made with simple ingredients you likely already have on hand. Plus, this flavorful, delicious seafood dinner is ready in about 15 minutes!
Friday: Turkey Chili
As the air grows brisk — the occurrence of chili on our weekly menu increases! There’s nothing quite like a comforting bowl of chili on cold days. And this one is healthy, easy, and always a family favorite. I’m serving ours with a huge green salad with sliced apples and bits of pecans.
Coconut Pumpkin Pecan Muffins
I’m craving pumpkin these days. It must be the beta-carotene (wink, wink). Or more likely, an overactive sweet tooth! “These coffee shop worthy Coconut Pumpkin Pecan Muffins are a delicious start to any morning. Or an end to any day. The combination of coconut, pecans, and pumpkin is pure autumn.”
