Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 18

August 18, 2017

Welcome Back! This week on Dinner Divas, we have some amazing food! We hope that planning your weekly menu has helped to make life a little easier. When I plan my menus instead of “winging it”, it keeps my weekly food budget in check. Planning ahead saves time and money, plus it takes the guesswork out of dinner. That’s a win in my book.

How it works: Every Friday morning, a new meal plan will show up in your email. It will consist of 5 dinner options, plus 2 extras. Those two extras could be side dishes, dessert, drinks, etc. The Dinner Divas weekly menu plans will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare. Getting the weekly menu delivered to your inbox on Friday morning gives you the chance to make your shopping list and get organized for the week ahead. I’d love to hear from you & see your creations! Post a pic using #DinnerDivas and tag @pookspantry! I hope this weekly menu plan provides inspiration and makes life a little easier… one meal at a time.

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 17

August 11, 2017

Dinner. How many of you have stood in front of an open refrigerator trying to figure it out? You’re not alone. In other words, I’m guilty of this as well. It’s not always easy and therefore, we tend to get in a rut. Our primary goal is to make dinner a stress-free endeavor by giving you menu ideas every week. I fell off the wagon myself and now, I’m trying to get organized again. I know many of you have kids back in school, which means that organization is paramount. So, let’s do this!

Dinner Divas: Week 16 – One Pot Wonders

August 4, 2017

One Pot dinners are the busy weekday’s salvation. We are quickly approaching “Back to School” and we’re here to help get dinner on the table quickly and without too many pots and pans to clean up afterwards.

Dinner Divas: Week 15 – 30 Minute Meals

July 28, 2017

30 minute meals. When I ask my people on Facebook what they’d like to see more of, that is the Number One Request. I get it, we are all busy and tired. The thought of standing in the kitchen for an hour after a long work day doesn’t appeal to many people. This week, the Dinner Divas have put together a week’s worth of 30 minute meals.

30 MINUTE MEALS

First up this week is Pastry Chef Online’s Pasta with easy Creamy Marinara (or Vodka) Sauce. This is the perfect way to ease into the week. Check out the secret ingredient in her sauce!

Next is this amazing Korean BBQ Rice Bowl from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. This is exactly what I crave after a long day. A few minutes the night before to prepare a marinade and the rest comes together in a snap. Bring on those spicy flavors and pickles!

The following day brings us to midweek with One Pan Greek Beef Pasta from The Chef Next Door. I love the flavors in this filling one pan meal!

Next is my Queso Fundido Chicken. Although it might be about 35 minutes from start to finish, I hope you’ll forgive the 5 minutes over the time limit because it’s worth it! Pull out some leftover rice or veggies that are hiding in the fridge and your meal is complete.

Last, but certainly not least is 15 minute Weeknight Pasta from Comfortably Domestic. This is a great recipe to have in your back pocket for those nights when you have very little time or energy.

Finally, we’ve come to the end of the week and that means dessert. This week, we have two incredible sweets to fulfill that craving.

This Salted Caramel Turtle Fudge Swirl Ice Cream is my sweet tooth’s dream. Pastry Chef Online is an ice cream genius.

The last dessert this week are Mini Walnut Cinnamon Buns. These would be a perfect weekend treat, thanks to the Chef Next Door!

Thank you for joining us this week! We hope these 30 minute meals help make the week a little easier… one meal at a time.

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 13 – Sandwiches

July 14, 2017

Sandwiches are the focus this week. They are a lunchbox staple and the ultimate “to-go” food, but they don’t need to be boring. The Dinner Divas have 5 incredible sandwiches from an open-faced tartine of wine-poached pears and gorgonzola to gorgeous layers of vegetables on hearty bread.

Let’s Get to the Sandwiches!

We begin the week with these adorable Mini Crab Rolls from The Chef Next Door. A little light prep on Sunday makes these even easier to get on the table at the start of the week.

Next up this week are my tartines. A tartine is a fancy open-faced sandwich. I have two recipes in one post, so you really get a bonus here! Wine-Poached Pear with Gorgonzola Dolce and Prosciutto, Fig Jam and Parmesan Tartines

Our third sandwich this week is Chicken Salad with Lemon Dill Yogurt Dressing from Comfortably Domestic. Swap the mayo for this zingy yogurt dressing and make a batch of this chicken salad tonight.

Pastry Chef Online has made a Gourmet BLT with Avocado and it is one of my all time favorite combos. If you have never put avocado on a BLT, friends, you are missing out on something delicious.

The last sandwich this week is Girl in the Little Red Kitchen’s Summer Vegetable Sandwich Bar. There is nothing boring about this and the Bulgarian feta?! Yes, please.

Now, it’s time for the extras! We have 2 different desserts this week for you that use the best of summer fruits.

First are these Cherry Hand Pies from Pook’s Pantry (me!). They are small and portable, so they are perfect for little hands and portion controlled for bigger hands, because I need that. Fresh cherry filling and a homemade crust make these the perfect summer treat.

Last up this week is this beautiful Blueberry Galette from The Chef Next Door. Rustic and filled with fresh blueberries, it’s a perfect weekend dessert.

That’s all for this week friends. Thank you for spending a part of your day with us, join us next week as we do breakfast for dinner!

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 12-Salads

July 7, 2017

Welcome Back, friends! Our focus this week is salads. I don’t know about you, but just thinking about turning on the oven in the summer makes me sad. The air conditioning is already running 24/7 here and the thought of making it HOTTER in this house is unbearable. Besides the fact that I just spent the past 4 days eating All The Things in front of me, I could use a virtuous dinner.

How it works: Every Friday morning, a new meal plan will show up in your email. It will consist of 5 dinner options, plus 2 extras. Those two extras could be side dishes, dessert, drinks, etc. The Dinner Divas weekly menu plans will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare.

First up this week are these Hot dogs with Fancy Condiments from Comfortably Domestic. Everyone grills hot dogs, so why not up your game with the toppings?

Next up this week is Tortellini Caprese Salad from Pastry Chef Online. Stuffed pasta tossed with basil and mozzarella, perfect weeknight dinner.

Barbecue Chicken with Pinot Noir Blueberry Sauce from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen is my kind of recipe. I can guarantee this will be in my menu very soon.

The Chef Next Door has Heirloom Tomato Pesto Pizza this week and it looks delicious!

Finally, my Eggplant Caprese Stacks end the week. These were so very good, that I will admit to you (only because we’re friends) that I ate 3 of them. I couldn’t help it, they are THAT good.

This week, Comfortably Domestic offers Dill Potato Salad as a side. It would be perfect with her hot dogs.

Last, but not least, these Fresh Fruit and Yogurt Popsicles are my new favorite thing. They are so simple to make and contain a handful of ingredients. You can beat the heat and not worry about artificial anything.

Finally, I would like to wish you a happy and safe 4th of July!

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 10

June 23, 2017

Menu planning can be a real drag sometimes. We all get stuck in rut, including me. That’s why I started this group with a few of my favorite ladies. This week, it’s all GRILLED recipes! That’s right, we are doing theme weeks for the summer! So fire up that grill, make your shopping lists and let’s get cooking.

How it works: Every Friday morning, a new meal plan will show up in your email. It will consist of 5 dinner options, plus 2 extras. Those two extras could be side dishes, dessert, drinks, etc. The Dinner Divas weekly menu plans will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare.

First up this week is Pastry Chef Online’s North Carolina Muffaletta. I am a big fan of the Muffaletta and this version of the famous sandwich looks amazing!

Next up are BLAT Hot Dogs from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. Susan takes all the components of my favorite sandwich and combines it with a hot dog. She really gets me.

Shrimp on the Barbie with Chimichurri from The Chef Next Door is fast and easy. Exactly the type of midweek recipe you want.

Spanish Grilled Bread with Garlic and Tomato from Pook’s Pantry (me!) is dinner on Thursday. I know some of you are thinking “that’s not dinner”. Many, many nights this was my dinner. Summer heat zaps my appetite and more often than not, I eat a very light meal like this one. Grilled bread rubbed with garlic and juicy, summer tomatoes. A drizzle of grassy olive oil and a hefty sprinkling of flake sea salt on top and this my friends, is heaven. Add a glass of rioja to the mix and we are REALLY talking.

Finally, we close out the week with Comfortably Domestic’s Steak Salad with Chive Yogurt Dressing. This salad has everything I want in a summer salad: cool, creamy dressing, grilled meat and avocado.

Now, we move on to the extras! This week Pastry Chef Online brings us her Grilled Vegetable Gazpacho. I am very excited about this soup. Gazpacho is one of my summer go-to foods and I can’t wait to try this version.

Finally, The Chef Next Door brings the week to a sweet ending with Grilled Pineapple and Vanilla Sorbet.

Thank you for spending part of your day here, friends! The Dinner Divas hope we made menu planning a little easier this week. Until next time!

I am over the moon for this Pork Banh Mi Burger from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen, It has everything I love in a burger. Tons of flavor!

Next is this One Pot Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes and Spinach from The Chef Next Door. I don’t know about you, but Tuesdays are always harder for me than Mondays. This is the perfect low effort meal for me.

One of my favorite (and most popular) recipes. This Heirloom Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart is a serious stunner. Although it looks quite fussy, it’s not as difficult to make as you might imagine. It’s a beautiful way to use up those luscious summer tomatoes!

This beautiful Strawberry Mango Salad with Strawberry Poppyseed Dressing from Comfortable Domestic is a great option for a light Summer dinner when it’s just too hot to cook.

Friday means PIZZA and Pastry Chef Online does not disappoint with her Sausage Gravy Pizza with Peppers and Onions.

It wouldn’t be summer without an awesome recipe for potato salad. Girl in the Little Red Kitchen brings Potato Salad with Bacon, Corn and Peppers as an extra treat this week. I would be first in line for this!
