Here’s What to Cook (Oct 28 – Nov 1): Fall Family Favorites
It’s fall family favorites week of easy, quick, and healthy dinners everyone will love. From takeout favorites to easy slow cooker, lasagna, pizza, chili and even nachos. It’s going to be a delicious week!
If you read our weeknight dinner meal plans we post Saturday mornings, you know I like to come up with a weekly theme. For no other reason than — it’s kind of fun!
My view of healthy weeknight meals is a whole food, balanced approach to meal planning that brings texture, color, and variety to our diet. But it also takes into account foods that are family-friendly, budget-conscious, and generally liked by most.
That being said, as I was charting this week’s dinners, it became apparent they were all family favorites. Which is somehow appropriate for Halloween week.
Speaking of which, if you’re still looking for Halloween or Harvest ideas — you can see more recipes and posts on the “Celebrations” holiday tab in the navigation bar above. Or… just click here.
Have a great week everyone!
