5 easy dinners for next week + apple desserts 🍎

Published about 1 month agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hi Reader,

If you’d like to head into next week with a few dinner decisions already made, here are five ideas to put on your list.

5 dinners for the week

​Instant Pot White Chicken Chili​
A cozy dinner for one of those nights when you want something warm without spending the whole evening in the kitchen.

​Korean Ground Beef and Broccoli​
A good pick for a busy night when you need dinner on the table fast.

​Crockpot Pizza Casserole​
All the flavors of pizza in an easy slow cooker dinner.

​Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos​
Taco night with less cleanup is always a win.

​One Pot Creamy Chicken Mushroom Pasta​
A simple comfort-food dinner with only one pot to wash afterward.

You don’t have to make all five. Pick the ones that fit your week, leave yourself a leftovers night, and you’ve already taken several dinner decisions off your plate.

Saturday Sweets 🍎

And now for something sweet. This week is all about apple desserts.

​Apple Fritters​
My pick this week, because apple season is a very good reason to make fritters.

A few more apple recipes from my recipe-blogger friends:

​Apple Crumble Cheesecake​
Cheesecake and apple crumble in the same dessert.

​Apple Hand Pies​
Individual apple pies that are easy to serve and eat.

​Mini Apple Pies​
A muffin-tin version of classic apple pie.

​Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip​
A caramel apple dip for when you want the apple flavor without baking a whole dessert.

​Dutch Apple Pie Bars​
All the appeal of Dutch apple pie in an easy-to-share bar.

​Homemade Apple Donuts​
Apple donuts for a fall baking project.

​Apple Peanut Butter Crumble​
Apple crumble with a peanut butter twist.

I’m curious: are you more likely to make one of the dinners or skip straight to the apple desserts? Hit reply and tell me.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Reader, There are days when it feels like I have 47 things floating around in my head at once. Someone needs to be somewhere. There’s something I’m supposed to remember for school. Dinner has apparently become my responsibility again. πŸ˜† And I know there’s at least one important thing I’m forgetting... I just can’t remember what it is. When that happens, I’ve learned that trying to get organized usually makes things worse. Instead, I check three things: 1. What absolutely has to happen...

Hi Reader, My garden has chosen its next challenge for me. Last week, zucchini and squash were taking over. This week, I walked outside to find dozens of cucumbers waiting for a plan. So naturally, I started making cucumber water and pulling together every cucumber recipe I could think of. Thankfully, figuring out what to do with dinner this week can be much simpler because I have something new for you. 🍽️ Let the new app plan dinner this week I’ve been working on a new Family Meal Planner...
