This week on the dinner menu, we have some Simpson staples and two new recipes to try from Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman. Both of her recipes are one pan meals, and as a working mom with two little ones, easy and quick meals are key! Especially if they require little clean up.
Here is our menu for the week. I have linked the recipes we will be using and included any notes if necessary.
- Sunday – Lasagna sheet pan
- Monday – Turkey Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
- Tuesday – Easy Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice. Can’t wait to try this, I have a good feeling this will become a Simpson Staple.
- Wednesday – Coconut Shrimp with Rice and Green Beans. For reference, this is the shrimp we use.
- Thursday – My husband, Cory, will be making his famous Chicken Hibachi on our flattop grill. Unfortuntely the typical hibachi show is not included. He loves this grill and wrote a review on it – see here.
- Friday – We will be ordering pizza from our favorite place, Mellow Mushroom. And if everyone is in a good mood, we will eat there, but typically we bring it home (less chaos).
- Saturday – Thanksgiving Dinner with all the yummy sides
Since we were at Disney World last week and my mother-in-law is visiting this weekend, we decided to have Thanksgiving Dinner later this year. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I missed having that traditional day, so I’m excited to have it this week.
What do you have on your dinner menu this week? And will you be trying any of these recipes?
