A visual menu of what we’ll be eating for dinner each night this week, including links to each recipe with multiple photos for each dish.

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week: 

Meatless Monday: Cherry Tomato and Tortellini Soup.  Sure, the weather is pseudo-warm but until I can go outside without a coat multiple days in a row, it’s still soup weather to me!  And this one couldn’t be easier to stir together and get dinner on the table.

I’ve selected Monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. My meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because I also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. What can I say? I’m nice like that!

Tuesday: Bacon Wrapped Cherry Merlot Pork Tenderloin.  A main dish that sounds impressive but takes just minutes to prepare.  I mean, how else can you pull off something like this on a weeknight?!

Wednesday: Chili Chicken Lime Burgers.  A copycat of one of my favorite Trader Joe’s products.  So good!

Thursday: Shrimp, Bacon and Kale Parmesan Pasta.  In our house, if you add bacon to a recipe, you’re guaranteed dinner success.  This recipe is no exception!

Friday: Smoky Pistachio Crusted Chicken Tenders.  One of my favorite recipes I created last summer.  The dipping sauce that accompanies it is equally delicious.
