Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 27

October 20, 2017

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 27 | Pook's Pantry
Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan is back with the flavors of fall. From soup to casseroles and even chicken wings that would be perfect for game day, we’ve got it all. Planning your menu doesn’t have to be a chore, let us handle it. We hope you love this week’s offerings as much as we do!

Here’s 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.

ON THE MENU:

First up this week is my WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP.  I made crispy vegetable “croutons” as a garnish to give it some texture.  This soup is fancy enough for holidays or company, but it’s a snap to make!

Next this week is Slow Cooker BBQ Pork from Comfortably Domestic.  Perfect for a Tuesday.  I always find that they are harder for me than Mondays.

Our midweek meal is Ballymaloe Irish Stew from Pastry Chef Online.  Perfect for cool winter evenings.

Girl in the Little Red Kitchen has Kung Pao Chicken Wings this week.  I am absolutely making these. They look amazing!

Finally, we end the week with this Sausage and Spaghetti Bake from The Chef Next Door.  Casseroles are perfect for the end of the week when your energy is depleted.

Now, we’re on to the extras.  This week, there is a gorgeous fall salad and a sweet treat!  Let’s get to it.

Autumn Panzanella Salad from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen is absolutely perfect.  It is beautiful, full of in season veggies and so delicious.

Last, but not least, we have The Best Quick Hot Fudge Sauce from Pastry Chef Online.  I want to pour this on everything.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you try some of the recipes this week.  If you do, don’t forget to snap a pic and tag @pookspantry on Facebook or Instagram!

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan : Week 26

October 13, 2017

Menu Plan 26
Menu planning can be difficult, I know. I do it every single week. I do it for my own house, for this post and for clients. The trick to planning a menu is prep and making sure you have everything on hand.  The Dinner Divas have taken care of everything (except shopping) for you.  We provide recipes and menu ideas to get you through the week.

Here’s 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.

On to the Menu:

We begin the week with Lighter Loaded Baked Potato Soup from Comfortably Domestic. Now that we are moving into soup weather, I’m so looking forward to meals like this!
Menu 26

Pastry Chef Online brings us Sausage with Apples, Onions and Butternut Squash.  This one pan meal looks so delicious!

The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen has our midweek meal.  Her Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Pizza turns one of my favorite pasta dishes into a pie!

Our next to last dinner recipe comes from the Chef Next Door with her Cheddar Beer Soup.  

Finally, we end the week with this Vegan Crispy Tofu Asian Noodle Bowl.  It is the perfect meatless meal, so if you do “Meatless Monday”, this is perfect.  It is so full of vegetables, herbs and FLAVOR that you won’t feel like you are missing something. I seriously could not stop eating it.

Now, we are on to the desserts!  Clearly, everyone has caramel on the brain…

First up is my Caramel Apple Cupcake with Apple Cider Buttercream.  You absolutely must make these at least once.  They are so unbelievably delicious!

Finally, we end with Salted Caramel Fruit Dip from Comfortably Domestic.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  See you soon with new recipes!

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan – Week 25

October 6, 2017

Dinner Divas Week 25
Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan brings you lots of Fall flavors and quick, easy dinner solutions.   Whether you enjoy one pan meals, or sheet pan dinners,  we have it all this week.

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.

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.

Let’s Make Dinner!

Begin the week with this super tasty Vegan Creole White Beans and Rice from Pastry Chef Online.  If you are trying to do “Meatless Monday”, this is a fantastic option.  If not, throw in a little sausage!

Next is Sheet Pan Salmon with Garam Masala Squash and Cauliflower from The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen.  This is a fantastic weeknight meal with very little clean up!

Apple Pecan Chicken Salad is our midweek meal from Chef Next Door.  Make a double batch, so you have enough for lunch!

One Pan Chicken Sausage and Fall Vegetables is my go-to dinner when I’m running short on time and energy.  It is also delicious, full of nutritious veggies and makes an excellent lunch the next day.  Use this as a template, change out the vegetables for a little variety.  I like using apples, different cabbages, rutabaga, etc.  In the warmer months, swap out for green vegetables!

Finally, we finish the week with Comfortably Domestic’s Pear and Caramelized Onion Flatbread.  Friday is pizza night and I think this flatbread is an excellent choice!

Now, onto the extras!

We have two breakfast offerings this week.  First up is this gorgeous Apple Cider Doughnut French Toast Casserole from Pastry Chef Online.  This would be perfect for thanksgiving morning!

Finally, we wrap it up with Pumpkin Spice Granola from Chef Next Door.  Perfect for sprinkling on a bit of yogurt.

Thanks so much for stopping by,  we’ll see you next week for more dinner ideas.

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.
