My weekly menu plans are a collection of delicious dinner recipes, side dishes and a few desserts that will hopefully offer a little dinner inspiration and help make your week a little smoother — one recipe at a time.
Happy Friday and an early Happy Halloween! I’m curious — do you decorate for Halloween? Some people go all out and love every part of it.
Are you one of those people who pull out spooky decorations and transform the house? I’m not that person this year. I haven’t put a single Halloween decoration up — don’t hate me! Normally I drag out a few items, but this year I never got around to it. My aunt in Arizona had her home fully decorated when I visited a couple of weeks ago, and she promised to inspire me to do the same when I got back.
Spoiler: I still didn’t decorate. Maybe next year.
On to the menu. This week’s plan includes a Halloween tradition in our house — quick and easy sloppy joes — and I’ll be making homemade donuts. Many families have food traditions like chili or treats; what about you? Do you stick to certain meals on Halloween? There are lots of favorites on this week’s lineup, and it’s hard to pick just one.
Wishing you a great weekend and some tasty dinners ahead.
SUNDAY

Please look past the old photo — this is so good, I promise!
