Menu Monday ~ Pinterest Recipes I Want to Try

April 9, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Do you ever get a little bored with your usual collection of recipes? I’ve been cooking for my family for going on 37 years and sometimes I feel like shaking things up a bit. Fortunately, Pinterest offers a lot of inspiration. I’m sure I’m not the only one who pins LOTS of recipes but never tries them. This week’s Menu Monday features 7 days worth of Pinterest recipes from my boards. Perhaps you’ll find a bit of inspiration here, too.

Monday

Let’s kick off the week with a “meatless Monday” recipe.

  • Moroccan Sweet Potato Lentil Stew
  • naan bread

Tuesday

  • Easy Baked Reuben Casserole
  • tossed green salad

Wednesday

I often make something in the slow cooker on Wednesdays if I have choir rehearsal. Everyone can eat whenever they need to and cleanup is minimal.

  • Sweet Chili Pineapple Chicken Easy Crockpot Recipe
  • rice (cook extra for tomorrow’s dinner)

Thursday

I’ve somehow ended up with meetings almost every Thursday afternoon. Instant Pot to the rescue!

  • Instant Pot Honey Mustard Curry Chicken
  • rice
  • steamed broccoli 

Instant Pot

Friday

  • Olive Garden Chicken Piccata Copycat Recipe
  • mashed potatoes
  • asparagus

Saturday

I am SO ready for warm weather so we can start grilling outdoors. One of the things we miss from California is In-N-Out. Their burgers are so good, especially when ordered “animal style”. 

  • In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style Cheeseburgers
  • french fries
  • fruit salad

Sunday

I don’t generally cook on Sundays. We often eat lunch out if we’ve gone to church so we only need something light for dinner. This salad looks delicious!

  • Blueberry Feta Salad

 

Do you have any recipes you’ve pinned but haven’t tried yet? (Silly question, right?) I’d love to see some of the recipes you’re hoping to try soon. Leave me a comment with links to a couple of recipes. And If I’m not already following you on Pinterest, share your link and I’ll follow. Click here for mine.

    What A coincidence! Just a couple of weeks ago I made that exact Moroccan Sweet Potato Lentil Stew. We liked it so much, I made it again this past weekend. I think it will be a staple in our house since we grow sweet potatoes and spinach on our farm.

      Really?! Wow! I’m so glad to know it’s good. I haven’t actually tried it yet, despite it being on last night’s menu. We are going to be out of town a few days this week which makes for a boring menu to share here. Chances are, when you see me share a “theme” menu, that’s the case. 😉

    The chicken piccata and the lentil sweet potato recipes sound delicious. I pinned them! 😉 I actually do try quite a few of my recipes from Pinterest though. Thanks for the suggestions!

      David was told by his new cardiologist that he has to make some changes. You’ll likely notice more of a Mediterranean diet influence in our coming menus. 😉
