Oh, friends…I hope that you had an incredible weekend. I hope that the weather was not gloomy or rainy, but was one of those wonderful sunny fall weekends that allowed you to get outside. Our weather this coming week is looking suspiciously fall-like so my menu will reflect that. I’m not excited for the rain, but I am ready for some of my favorite comfort foods.
I’ve been polling my kids a lot lately, asking them for dinner ideas and they have been giving in abundance. This really helps me when I’m feeling that lack of motivation around what to cook. I just keep a running list to refer to, and it’s been so helpful!
Here’s what’s on the menu this week in case you also need ideas!
Homestyle Mini Meatloaves
These homestyle mini meatloaves finally won my husband over to meatloaf! What's the secret? Besides scrumptious flavors, broiling right at the end adds a yummy crusty texture to the outside!
Chickpea Tostadas
These tasty chickpea tostadas aren't just easy to make and ready in 30 minutes, they're also vegetarian and pretty dang healthy!

Bacon Skillet Sliders
We have struggled with making good classic sliders at home, but these bacon skillet sliders with homemade thousand island dressing are getting it RIGHT.
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze
This pumpkin spice coffee cake with brown sugar glaze is light enough for a breakfast treat or indulgent enough for dessert!
Cast Iron Cornbread
This simple cast iron cornbread recipe can be made with chiles, corn kernels, and coarse ground cornmeal for a more rustic side dish!
Maple Pumpkin Cake
Looking for a way to welcome fall with open arms? How about this festive, fall-colored maple pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting? It's amazing!
I’m feeling very into soups and chilis this week. Probably due to the weather. So here is my Pinterest board for Chili, Soups, and Stews. Hopefully if your weather is like mine you can find something that sounds comforting and delightful for you.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. I have some very “fall” recipes to share with you later this week! ;)
