🍜 Cozy Dinner Ideas to Make this Week!
|
Hey Reader! Though we've had some days in the 70's already here in Texas, it's still mostly cool weather - it's probably cold where you are, too! If you're like me and love a nice warm meal at the end of a chilly day, these Cozy Dinner Ideas are perfect to try this week and next! Made with real ingredients, from scratch, from our family to yours - here are a few of our favorite recipes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just tried your egg roll in a bowl recipe (using the lettuce wraps) and really enjoyed it. I used ground venison and it turned out perfect. Really easy and simple but great tasting!" - Lesa Whether you are on a low-carb diet or just want an easy dinner recipe, this egg roll in a bowl is what you need! This whips up in less than 20 minutes and can be eaten alone or in a lettuce wrap.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This easy homemade lasagna recipe is loaded with savory meat, gooey cheese, and bursts of flavor in every mouthful. Better than any restaurant lasagna, and less expensive too! Make this for a crowd, or freeze it in portions for a quick and hearty meal any time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This recipe for lemon honey chicken has always been a favorite because it comes together so quickly, reheats perfectly (making it great for bulk cooking), and isn’t spicy, so the whole family can enjoy it! You can make this by traditional frying or in an air fryer!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just like Mama used to make!" - Barbara When it comes to classic comfort food, there’s nothing like a good Sloppy Joe Recipe! Instead of using canned sauce, this recipe for homemade sloppy joes uses whole foods like ground beef, onions, peppers, brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard! Ready in 30 minutes, this recipe will be a new family favorite! Make your own einkorn hamburger buns for an elevated experience!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Hidden Veggie Mac and Cheese is about to become your new secret weapon for the whole family. It’s creamy, cheesy, and comforting—just like classic mac and cheese—but with pureed veggies blended right into the sauce. No one will ever guess there are carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers, and butternut squash hiding in there! |

Hey Reader! Tex-Mex is one of my favorite cuisines, which makes sense as I'm a tenth-generation Texan. But finding out I was allergic to the pesticides used on conventional corn meant that I had to give it up almost 2 decades ago!
