Weekly Menu Round-Up: January 4-8

New year, new Weekly Menu Round-Up!!!! If you know me, then you know that I LOVE sharing my weekly menu round-up’s with y’all! With a new year in tow, I am OH SO EXCITED to start and share some brand-new recipes in my kitchen. Since I have been home since mid-November, I have missed whipping up some delights in my own kitchen, so I am extremely excited to get back into a new groove. Let’s get it going!!!

Monday

To kick off the week, I am going to be making none other than a classic recipe within my own kitchen of oven baked Old Bay Shrimp. I have grown up going to Bethany Beach and Annapolis where Old Bay Shrimp is a favorite, so I love making it on my own too. I will be serving this favorite dish of mine with my Grandma Anita’s green bean casserole recipe and roasted Brussels sprouts which are also two of my favorite’s to make!!!

Tuesday

Tuesday’s are reserved for a recipe favorite of mine that I have surprisingly only made at my Mom’s! This recipe is one that I discovered on Delish a few years ago right before I went home for break, and it is actually the first recipe that I made for my family: Tuscan Butter Salmon. It is so so so good and super easy and healthy! On the side, I will be serving it over plain couscous and a Caesar salad.

Wednesday

This Wednesday, I will be trying out a Healthy Baked Pesto Pasta Bake from Pinch of Yum and serving it with either leftover Caesar salad or a baguette.

Friday

I am feasting Friday! My obsession with Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup has taken on a whole new meeting as I have discovered an easy copycat recipe from Shugary Sweets. This delicious soup discovery of mine will be served with homemade crab cakes from Once Upon a Chef and my favorite recipe of my own aka Roasted Broccoli.

8/24-8/28 Weekly Menu Round-Up

The other day when I was planning out this week’s menu, I shared that I think planning it has been the highlight of 2020. Ever since I was younger, I have become such a planner. That being said, I LOVE planning Weekly Menu’s and am really excited for this week’s. Just like last week’s, I have TONS of one pan/Crockpot recipes, as attending my Senior year mostly from Zoom is pretty hectic. Here’s to another crazy yet exciting *mainly virtual* week of Senior year!

Monday: Manicotti

Love me some Manicotti!!! Manicotti has been one of my favorite pasta dishes since I was younger. Last summer, I made a Crockpot Manicotti recipe that was AMAZING, however, it took two hours just to prep. That being said, I found this recipe from allrecipes that takes a lot less time to prep yet still has the same results! Similar to last week’s ravioli, I will be serving my Manicotti with some Caesar salad and Texas toast.

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Maple Salmon

Once I got to Meredith, my mom and I hit up a local Costco for some salmon, shrimp, and tilapia as we are fish lovers. As I have a ton of salmon in my freezer, I figured I would put it to some good use and try a super delicious looking Slow Cooker Maple Salmon from Get Crocked. I will be serving it with my favorite Thanksgiving dish that I make ALL the time – green bean casserole – along with some roasted broccoli.

Wednesday: Old Bay Shrimp

Ever since I was younger, I was OBSESSED with Old Bay Shrimp as well as *of course* all things Old Bay! I mean, I did grow up going to see my family in Annapolis, Maryland and visit the beaches in Delaware where my family has a beach house, which is where Old Bay seasoning flourishes. To complement the Old Bay Shrimp, I will be serving it with a baked potato and a Garlicky and Cheesy Cauliflower Broccoli Bake which looks AMAZING from Diethood.

Thursday: Popcorn Shrimp

Similarly to the Old Bay Shrimp, I have also always been obsessed with popcorn shrimp as I grew up eating it from the local Dairy Queen! Instead of making popcorn shrimp from scratch, I usually purchase it pre-made from Seapak. It definitely tastes similar to my favorite childhood dish from Dairy Queen. To serve alongside my popcorn shrimp, I will be having yet another baked potato as well as roasted carrots.

Friday: Crockpot Shrimp & Grits

Like salmon, I also have A TON of shrimp, so why not put it to some good use?! That being said, I will be testing out an easy Crockpot Shrimp & Grits recipe from Tammilee Tips. I will be serving it with roasted cherry tomatoes to celebrate the end of another long week!

I am MOST definitely excited for this week’s menu round-up, and I hope y’all are too! One of the biggest incentives for myself throughout crazy long weeks is to have an AMAZING dinner at the end of the day. It *for sure* keeps me going through it all, especially during these oh so crazy times.
