Here’s What to Cook (Oct 1 – 5): Quick Fall Dinners
Quick Fall Dinners: From roasted chickpeas to butter chicken, an Instant Pot Mexican dish, pan-fried Halibut… and even a fun twist on cheeseburgers. It’s what’s for dinner this week!
Plus, as always, a treat that celebrates the fall season. Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Granola. I’m making mine early so I can snack all week.
For Tuesday’s Garlic Butter Chicken Salad dinner, we will roast a whole chicken. To save time, consider meal prepping by roasting the chicken over the weekend.
Be sure to do something fall-ish and fun this week. Like — a leaf-peeping trip. Plan your trip by consulting the 2019 Fall Foliage Map.
Have a great week everyone!

What to Cook (Oct 1-5): Quick Fall Dinners
This week's dinner meal plan is all about quick fall dinners that happen to be healthy and incredibly delicious too!
Monday: Crispy Chickpea Rice Pilaf
A go-to, saving grace kind of dinner that happens to be budget friendly too. "I often like to borrow techniques from a few pilaf originators when making my own—this rice has paella’s smoked paprika, pulao and biryani’s legumes, adorned with nuts and dried fruit like javaher polow."
Tuesday: Garlic Butter Chicken Salad recipe
"This bowl is full of GREEN GOODNESS topped with a garlic chicken breast (sectioned out from roasting a whole chicken – way more flavour!) and some rustic honey-mustard potatoes with grilled asparagus! Simple, light and tasty."
Wednesday: Instant Pot Turkey Burrito Bowls
"Instant Pot Turkey Burrito Bowl is a favorite healthy and delicious weeknight dinner — or even lunch. Easy to meal prep, a breeze to make, in 8 minutes, with personalized toppings for everyone! A go-to recipe you’re going to love!"
Thursday: Pan-fried Halibut with Tomatoes and Basil
"Mild halibut is the perfect fish to pair with vibrant summer flavors such as tomatoes and basil. Use a nonstick pan to prevent the fish from sticking."
Friday: Cheeseburger Stuffed Baked Potatoes Recipe
"Skip the bun and serve all of your favorite cheeseburger ingredients—beef, cheese, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce—with baked potatoes for a hearty and easy dinner recipe that kids and adults will love. Feel free to swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or tofu crumbles."
Treat: Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Granola with Maple, Dates and Pecans
"Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Granola with Maple, Dates, and Pecans is a fall treat that not only satisfies those autumn flavor cravings but the redolent fall scents as well. It’s a feast of healthy goodness, and a cozy, hearty breakfast or snack on a blustery day."
