Week of October 28, 2024 - Weekly Meal Ideas


One of the joys of REAL food is experiencing the flavors from different parts of the world.  This week, we have combined in-season, fall ingredients with flavor-filled Thai, Mexican, Italian and even Irish meal ideas!  The Slow Cooker Thai Pork Sandwiches would be ideal on Halloween…put it in the slow cooker in the morning, and then you don’t have to worry about juggling dinner and serving up treats to Trick-or-Treaters.  It’s ideal with the Crunchy Coleslaw, which is so easy to prepare ahead of time.

Then transform the “planned over” pork into the quick and easy Irish Pork & Fruit Curry.  Yes, it has fruit in it, and it is CRAZY GOOD!  If you need another easy weeknight meal, put the Simple Savory Tuna Melt into your meal plan.  It was inspired by a trip to Oregon and your taste buds will realize this isn’t your ordinary tuna sandwich!

If you caught Tuesday’s coaching tip on acorn squash, don’t wait to make the Roasted Acorn Squash with Garlic & Pepitas.  Pair it with the Baked Pesto Chicken Parmesan for a taste of Italy right there in your own kitchen!

If you are craving Mexican, the quick and easy Southwest Quinoa with Simple Guacamole is a family favorite – you can’t go wrong with this one!  And if you are craving a fall breakfast or snack, the Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Cups have been described as “chockfull of yumminess!”
