I have a hard time planning anything but comfort food this time of year! All the creamy, carby, baked and cheesy things just sound extra delicious. I'm especially excited to make my favorite potato soup - the recipe is linked in the menu below. Before we get into this week's menu, let's take a minute… Continue reading Menu Monday + All The Comfort Food {10.18.21}

Menu Monday + We Got A New Oven! {10.4.21}
After two and a half months with a broken oven, I'm happy to report that we finally replaced it! We went with a Frigidaire from Lowes and had a great experience with both the model being in stock and the delivery being on time! Large appliances can be so expensive. We shopped around, waited for… Continue reading Menu Monday + We Got A New Oven! {10.4.21}
Making Paula Deen’s Famous Fried Pork Chops
I was so excited to visit the Paula Deen store during our family vacation in Pigeon Forge this month! We didn't have time to eat at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen, but my Mom and I had the best time browsing through the store located on the first floor of the restaurant. You can't visit the… Continue reading Making Paula Deen’s Famous Fried Pork Chops
Two Week Menu Plan {8.23.21}
When life is busy for more than one week in a row, I usually resort to a two week menu plan. This helps because it's something I can do ahead of time - I can plan the menu, make my grocery list and even place my grocery order so that it's all ready when I… Continue reading Two Week Menu Plan {8.23.21}
Another Oven Free Menu Monday + Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler {8.9.21}
We're still waiting for our oven to be fixed - they are supposed to come out on Friday - but as you'll see we still ate very well. 🙂 I tried two new essentially summer recipes with this menu plan: a watermelon salad and a peach cobbler. They were both delicious! On The Menu Breakfast:… Continue reading Another Oven Free Menu Monday + Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler {8.9.21}
Oven Free Menu Monday {7.26.21}
I usually try to plan mostly oven free meals this time of year. My kitchen gets all the afternoon and evening sunlight which is beautiful but is also hot. 🙂 This time, however, I don't have a choice. Last Sunday morning we had a series of brief power outages that seem to have fried my… Continue reading Oven Free Menu Monday {7.26.21}
Menu Monday + Ideas for Using Up Leftovers {7.12.21}
Leftovers are a part of life - no matter how hard we try, we all end up with them at one time or another. Here are a few ways to use up leftovers: Plan a second night to serve something that makes more than one meal's portion. For example, I know there will be leftovers… Continue reading Menu Monday + Ideas for Using Up Leftovers {7.12.21}
Menu Monday + Hot Dog Summer {6.21.21}
In case you weren't aware, my husband's favorite food is hot dogs. He could literally eat them twice a day every day and be totally happy. I thought it would be fun to turn our weekly date nights into something different for the summer so I put my own spin on a popular hashtag and… Continue reading Menu Monday + Hot Dog Summer {6.21.21}
Menu Monday {6.7.21}
One of the ways I find ideas for menu planning is by referencing my Main Dishes Pinterest board. I almost always do this based on what I brought home from the grocery store (also called reverse menu planning). My Pinterest board is organized by protein or type of recipe, so it's easy to scroll through… Continue reading Menu Monday {6.7.21}
Menu Monday + The Pepperoni Surplus {5.24.21}
A couple weeks ago I ended up with a huge package of deli pepperoni in my online grocery order. Since I hadn't ordered it and wasn't expecting to have 16 ounces of pepperoni on hand, I quickly rearranged my menu to use it up in the "7 days after opening" window. I incorporated it into… Continue reading Menu Monday + The Pepperoni Surplus {5.24.21}
