Easy Weekly Family Dinner Menu / Meal Plan Week 2

This week in Mrs. Kane's Kitchen...


While I didn't get this posted as early as I had hoped to, here is the next installment of family dinner ideas.   Here in Delaware, the weather is just on the edge of turning into full-blown Autumn, and I am trying to push it right over the edge with a few cool weather favorites mixed in with the standard weeknight fare.


Sunday
Homemade beef stew,  a fresh French baguette, and blueberry coffee cake

Monday
Savory roasted chicken breasts, green beans, apple-sausage dressing, and dinner rolls

Tuesday
Grilled sliders served with thinly sliced red onions, shredded lettuce, pickles, and hand cut french fries.  These fries are labor intensive, but oh-so-worth the effort!  

Wednesday
~ Survivor Night!~

Thursday
Garlic and herb roasted pork loin served with the Pioneer Woman's Crash Potatoes

Friday
Chicago style grilled hot dogs, fresh fruit, and potato chips

Saturday
Soup and sandwiches

The basic bread recipe, which was included with my cookware, was the first one I tried.  Because you soak both p...

Pot Roast - the perfect one pot meal

Sunday night supper:  Pot roast, and mashed potatoes and gravy Pot roast is a great choice for lazy Sundays when you want a special meal, but you don't want all the work.  With just a little bit of prep in the morning, you can just pop this in the oven and cook it "low and slow" all day long.  The end result is simply perfection.  And best of all - nothing beats a good roast beef sandwich made with the leftovers.  Click below to read more.

Delaware Chicken and Slippery Dumplings

Chicken and Slippery Dumplings Dumplings.   The word can be traced back to the 1600's in print, but was surely around long before that!  While there are many different techniques for making dumplings, their purpose was obvious.   They were invented solely to fill hungry bellies cheaply.    The fact that they're still around is just a testimony to how tasty they are.  In fact, every country in the world has some kind of dumpling as part of it's cuisine.  From Afrikan Fufu to Scandinavian Klubb, these meals all consist of rolling or dropping some type of starchy dough into some boiling liquid.  Click below to read more.
