Is it just me, or does October always feel like it hits full swing fast? The air is crisp (well, slightly in FL), the evenings come quicker, and cozy meals start calling our name. This week’s lineup leans into all that fall flavor — without adding more to your plate (except the delicious kind!).
From rich, slow-simmered Beef Ragu to a crave-worthy Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Casserole, every recipe is made to be simple, satisfying, and family-friendly. And of course, we’re ending the week on a sweet note with Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars that taste like fall in dessert form.
I’ve included prep tips and easy variations to help you make the most of your time in the kitchen — because even when life’s full, dinner doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. And don’t forget our saved recipe collections allow you to swap and customize meal plans. See below for more information!
Let’s dive in and make this week’s meals stress-free and full of flavor!
Each meal plan includes five dinner recipes the whole family will love, with a nice variety to keep things interesting. Add a side dish or salad, and you have a complete meal!
If you are looking for extra sweets to curb that craving, head over to try some of our tasty desserts!
