I’m so ready for fall! This month’s meal plan has a hint of fall in it in hopes that this brutally hot weather will start making its way out! I’ve included lots of easy recipes, as usual, to help you on those busy weeknights.
You’ll also find lots of comforting pasta dishes including my super popular Chicken Tetrazzini, much loved Cajun Pasta, an absolutely wonderful Lasagna, and my family’s favorite Beef & Macaroni Casserole.
A number of soups also make an appearance this month. You’ll find hearty bowls of Chili, Taco Soup, and Chicken Soup.
I also included my Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork on Labor Day in case you’re celebrating that day!
You can’t have a main dish without a delicious side. I’ve included my delicious tomato couscous and Spanish rice, both of which you must try if you haven’t yet. You’ll also find staples like white rice, cauliflower, and mashed potatoes.
Don’t forget to check out the dessert section where you’ll find my very popular flan recipe, arroz con leche, and coconut cake.
