Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 4

Dinner Divas weekly menu plan: week 4Menu planning made easier, courtesy of the Dinner Divas!  Welcome back, friends!  We have some really tasty stuff this week.   In case you’re new here, let me tell you 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 menus will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare.   Getting the meal plan delivered to your inbox on Friday morning gives you the chance to make your shopping list and get organized for the week ahead.  With all the springtime activities and summer break right around the corner, I hope this weekly meal plan provides inspiration and makes life a little easier… one meal at a time. 

On to the Menu!

 

Starting us off this week is a Rustic Ham, Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart from The Chef Next Door.  This recipe was featured on The Chew earlier this week! Congratulations!

 

Next up is my Pork Burger with Hatch Chiles and Pickled Red Onions.  This burger was packed with flavor and just a little heat, perfect for grilling up all summer!

The Wimpy Vegetarian brings us Baked Falafel with Spicy Moroccan Sauce! Don’t these sound fantastic?

 

These Vegetarian Tex-Mex Stuffed Peppers from Comfortably Domestic are colorful and full of flavor! A perfect meatless meal!

Friday night is pizza night!!!  This week, Pastry Chef Online brings us Bacon and Pickled Pepper Pizza.  I’m drooling over this, it is exactly what I want to eat!

Girl in the Little Red Kitchen has the most delicious Prosciutto and Melon Zucchini Noodle Salad.  This is absolutely perfect for summer!  I think it’ll be my go-to summer salad!

Comfortably Domestic wraps it up this week with a totally dreamy Orange Creamsicle Pound Cake.  This is going on my “must make” list.

Thank you so much for being here, I hope these recipes inspire you this week!   Weekly Menu Plan brought to you by:

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 3

Dinner Divas - week 3
Welcome Back to Dinner Divas! We have another amazing week of recipes to share with all of you! The weather here has flipped a switch and it is getting hot. We’re already experiencing 90+ degree days, so I’m looking forward to lighter fare and refreshing beverages!  Have a wonderful weekend and make it a delicious day!

This comforting meal is exactly what I’d want to eat while snuggled up on the couch with a movie! It looks so good, and has everything I love!  Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage, Brussels Sprouts and Apples from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen

 

Meatless meals don’t have to be boring!  This Asparagus Carbonara with Horseradish Breadcrumbs from The Wimpy Vegetarian  looks absolutely delicious!  Asparagus is in season now, so it’s the perfect time to make it!

 

Chicken with Mushrooms and Thyme from Pastry Chef Online is one of my favorites!  I make something similar at least once a month here! It’s incredibly delicious and it delivers big flavor without demanding lots of time and effort. That’s a midweek win!

 

I have a meatless meal offering this week – my Soba Noodles with Stir-Fried Vegetables.  So good, you honestly won’t miss the meat.  If you have a carnivore in your house that just can’t live without it, shrimp or chicken works beautifully here.  I’ve even done it with beef or pork. This is a solid recipe with lots of room for variations.

 

This Spring Vegetable Tart from Comfortable Domestic would make a wonderful light dinner or a brilliant brunch.  Cooking for Mom next weekend?  I think you found your recipe.

 

This Spicy Succotash with Bacon and Fava Beans would go perfectly with the Chicken on Wednesday.

 

These Lemon Blueberry Scones from The Chef Next Door could be dessert, afternoon snack, breakfast, etc.  I don’t care when you give them to me as long as I get to eat them.

Thank you for joining Dinner Divas!  We look forward to helping you plan your weekly menus and hope that it makes life easier, one meal at a time!

Dinner Divas – Weekly Meal Plan: Week 2

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan - Week 2 | Pook's Pantry
Greetings! Welcome to week 2 of Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan!  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 menus will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare.   Getting the meal plan delivered to your inbox on Friday morning gives you the chance to make your shopping list and get organized for the week ahead.   I hope this weekly meal plan makes life a little easier… one meal at a time. 

This week, the Dinner Divas put together an amazing meal plan.  We have delicious dinners, a lovely side dish and a beverage!  Spring is in the air and I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be outside enjoying the weather than standing in front of an open fridge at 5:30 wondering what I can pull together that will pass as dinner.   Planning ahead has been a HUGE gamechanger for me and I hope it has for you as well.

DINNER DIVAS – WEEKLY MENU PLAN: WEEK 2

This Meatless Monday meal sounds so delicious, I can hardly wait to have this for dinner!   Mujadara with Roasted Tomatoes and Greens from the Wimpy Vegetarian  is also a perfect side for lamb.

 

Casserole Supreme from Jenni Field’s Pastry Chef Online is the epitome of comfort food to me.  It’s exactly what I think of when I want a “food hug”.

 

Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Supper from Pook’s Pantry (me!) is one of my “go-to” dinners.  Sometimes, you just need to get dinner done without a sinkful of dirty pots and pans.   Oh, did I mention it’s about a half hour from fridge to table?  Yeah, winner winner chicken dinner.

Bucatini with Spinach Pesto from The Chef Next Door is a great weeknight meal that comes together quickly and is minimal fuss!   This vegetarian dish would also be fantastic with a little grilled chicken on top!

 

Al Pastor Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes from Girl in the Little Red Kitchen  I love my Instant Pot and I’m always looking for more recipes that use it.  Combine that with the fact that these are Whole 30 compliant – JACKPOT!!!  I’m over the moon for these!

And now, for the extras!

This lovely Asparagus Gribiche from The Wimpy Vegetarian would be a wonderful brunch item or side to a Spring menu

 

Homemade Lemonade Concentrate from Comfortably Domestic  is my summer dream come true.  Who doesn’t love lemonade?!  You can make pitchers of lemonade for a fraction of the cost of buying it!

 

Thank you so much for joining us!  I look forward to seeing you here every Friday for more menu plans brought to you by:
