Tis’ the season!
As they say… Happy Fall Y’all!
It’s fall in New England and that means two things: apples and pumpkins. We’ve been doing the apple thing in September, saving the pumpkins for October. Therefore, today’s post will be all apple, all day long.
It’s been a while since I posted a two-week menu, so I thought I’d do that today as well as share a new recipe that we tried and liked, apple-related, of course.
Where I have them, I have included the links to the recipes I have shared before so that hopefully makes it easier for you.
When you come home with so many apples, it’s time to get cooking.
TWO WEEKS OF MEALS
Sunday: Shepherd’s Pie (Although we’ve been having this for years with the recipe I’ve linked here, we now make it a new way, courtesy of a trip last spring to visit my mother in-law, MaryLou. Our meat now contains both creamed corn and cut green beans and has tomato sauce mixed in. We also took the cheese out of the mashed potatoes on top, since we can’t all eat it. This new recipe is a little bit healthier and it combines the recipes of both our mothers. It has been a hit with our whole family.)
Monday: Tacos
If you’ve never made homemade applesauce, it’s so delicious and makes your house smell wonderful.
Tuesday: Pork tenderloin (pre-marinated in the package), homemade applesauce
Wednesday: Marinated steaks
Thursday: BBQ Ribs (prepackaged, pre-bbq’d, just cook and eat)
Friday: Cast iron skillet fajitas- both chicken and steak (homemade fajita seasoning recipe from Allrecipes.com)
This was a delicious new way to have kielbasa and very fall-ish. Thanks to A Spicy Perspective for the recipe!
Saturday: Light apple onion kielbasa skillet from A Spicy Perspective
Sunday: Eggplant Parmesan
Monday: Cranberry Chicken
Tuesday: Hot Dogs/Hamburgers
Wednesday: Chicken Pot Pie (sometimes homemade using this recipe, but this time not and we have one that is a separate gluten free, dairy free pie which we buy pre-made and pre-frozen at our local bakery.)
Thursday: Homemade Pizzas
Friday: Chicken/Broccoli/Pasta
A great new meal to add to our fall menu!
