A visual menu of what we’ll be eating for dinner each night this week, with links to each recipe and multiple photos for each dish.
Here’s our dinner plan for the week:
Meatless Monday: Roasted Balsamic Rosemary Potato Salad. On a holiday weekend when many will be grilling, we’ll pause to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and give thanks for those who have served and continue to serve our country. This potato salad is a flavorful, meat-free option that fits a budget-friendly and environmentally conscious routine.
We reserve Monday as our meatless night because it’s easier on the grocery bill and gentler on the planet. My meat-and-potatoes husband usually goes along with it — especially when I make a special dessert to accompany the meal.
Tuesday: Skillet Stuffed Peppers. One of Andy’s favorites, these are like a cross between shepherd’s pie and stuffed peppers — comforting and delicious.
Wednesday: Greek Chicken and Kale Pita Sandwiches. These sandwiches are cool, refreshing, and quick to assemble if the chicken is prepped in advance — perfect for evenings when we’d rather be outside than in the kitchen.
Thursday: Indian Butter Chicken. The family gets excited for Indian night because it usually means naan on the side. Simple pleasures!
Friday: Movie Night. The girls want to watch Frozen again, but I’m hoping to find a new movie we haven’t seen yet. Any suggestions are welcome.
