Here are some things we shared this week that we know you’ll want to check out!
- Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board
- Homemade Tomato Sauce
- Sheet Pan Roasted Veggies
- Christmas Monkey Bread
Monday – Petite Sirloin
Petite sirloin roast served with your favorite compound butter makes a fantastic Sunday supper, especially if you have company.
Serve with acorn squash, which also looks impressive but is super simple!
This would also be delicious with crispy roasted sweet potatoes, parmesan risotto, or stovetop candied sweet potatoes.
Not feeling a whole roast? Try our steak bites and potatoes or garlic butter steak bites with zucchini noodles instead.
Tuesday – Pasta with Sausage and Broccolini
I love this quick pasta with sausage and broccolini that I can make right in my skillet.
You can use broccoli instead of broccolini in this recipe, and you could add in other veggies, too.

Wednesday – Butter Burger
These cheesy butter burgers with sauteed onions are irresistible! They’re stuffed with garlic steak butter and pan-fried. Switch it up and use any compound butter you like!
You’ll love this burger as is, or try it with one of our homemade condiments on top:

Thursday – Orange Chicken
If you’re craving takeout, try this Instant Pot orange chicken recipe instead! It’s super flavorful and quick, too.
I like to serve mine with citrus rice or noodles and a side of broccoli. You could also serve it with a side of purple cabbage slaw.
No instant pot? Try sesame chicken (stovetop recipe) or crockpot teriyaki chicken instead.
Friday – Jalapeno Mac and Cheese
This one is for those who like a little heat! Jalapeno mac and cheese includes a super creamy cheesy sauce, bacon, and jalapenos.
And if you love bacon (who doesn’t?!) double down with these bacon puff pastry twists on the side!
More Mac and Cheese Recipes
If spicy mac and cheese isn’t your cup of tea, add one of these other recipes to your Weekly Meal Plan 43:
- Buffalo chicken mac and cheese
- sausage mac and cheese bake
- pulled pork mac and cheese
- instant pot mac and cheese
Saturday – Lasagna Soup
I’m over-the-moon in love with this super easy lasagna soup.
Not only is it a cinch to make and totally delicious, but it’s pretty fast, too.
It’s a great meal for cold Fall days. My family gobbles this right up!
You can’t have soup without something to dip into it! Try one of these recipes:
- buttery dinner rolls
- butter swim biscuits (try these with compound butter like garlic chive butter or even brown sugar butter for brunch)
- garlic cheese bombs (these are super delish with cowboy butter dipping sauce!)
Sunday – Italian Roast Beef
I really love making slow cooker Italian roast beef on the weekends.
Leftovers are always delicious, and you can use it to make our homemade beef pot pie recipe.
It’s an all-in-one meal, but if you’re feeding a crowd, consider adding an extra side dish or maybe some Italian breadsticks.
Too much beef this week? Try our roasted chicken and vegetables and make our recipe for cowboy butter for an alternative but equally flavorful meal.
Snacks
My husband is crazy about these teriyaki chicken wings – always with extra sweet and spicy teriyaki sauce for dipping!
If you love wings too, try our spicy wings or garlic butter wings.
These are great for game day… or just because you love wings!

Breakfast
I love making this bacon egg and cheese breakfast bundt cake for brunch. It’s really delicious and so unexpected!
It’s also great for once-a-week cooking. I can make something like this on the weekend and my husband will take a piece to go.
You can swap out the sausage for ham and even add veggies like peppers and onions if you want.
