Week of October 20, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas

How does this sound…Autumn Minestrone Soup with Cinnamon Pumpkin Cornbread!?  Easy, flavorful and a great Fall-inspired meal!  How about Egg in the Hole Acorn Squash!?  (Sounds fancy but is really easy and even more flavorful than it sounds)!  And, don’t we all sometimes need pancakes for dinner?!  You gotta try these Easy Pumpkin Pancakes — they are completely worth turning breakfast into dinner!  If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also make an acorn squash puree to use instead of the pumpkin.  The Eggplant Burgers with Caramelized Shallots are not your typical veggie burger — the whole family liked these!  Plus, we have included a slow cooker meal this week, which is a great-tasting Asian Chicken.  The leftovers can then be used for the Asian Chicken Salad…or for your favorite pizza, quesadilla or sandwich!  A great way to plan for those busy weeknights!  Enjoy!
