ON THE MENU JULY 30TH
This week I’m using my Pinterest FOODIE BOARD like a cookbook. YUM! I have over 2,000 amazing recipes to pick from. How about you what is your favorite source for new recipes? Now let’s see what’s on the menu this week!
SUNDAY
Today we are having an old fashioned family dinner. I’m gathering any family that wants to come to have my very favorite meatballs in the whole world. If you make anything from on the menu this should be it! They are sooooo delicious.
- GRANDMA’S LO BIANCO MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI
- CAESAR SALAD
MONDAY
I’m usually not a “summer” person. But I must admit I have really enjoyed this summer! The patio has been my favorite spot to read and work and eat! So I’ll be soaking up every bit of August weather, especially the long evenings!
- CHICKEN WITH TOMATO AND BASIL CREAM SAUCE
- RICE
- TOMATO, CUCUMBER, AND FETA SALAD
TUESDAY
I love to eat whole fish. Gutted and cleaned but bone in. Yes, you have to navigate the bones but the flavor is amazing and I think a whole grilled fish is scrumptious! Give it a try! It’s really very very easy! I’ll be making a little piccata sauce to drizzle over the fish. YUM!
- GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER
- BALSAMIC GRILLED VEGETABLES
WEDNESDAY
Have you heard of SHEET PAN suppers? I love them! The premise is to make the whole meal on one sheet pan. Brilliant, right? You will love this recipe from No. 2 Pencil!
- SHEET PAN STEAK FAJITAS
- GRILLED PEACHES AND VANILLA ICE CREAM
THURSDAY- SLOW COOKER DAY
The slow cooker is beloved at StoneGable! I use it hard! I think you can coax wonderful food and flavor from it IF you know some good slow cooker techniques. Look for a slow cooker technique post this fall.
- BLACK BEAN TACO CHILI
- NACHOS
FRIDAY
I’ve eaten Salmon Cakes since I was a little girl. Mom and I make them with canned salmon (which is good and convenient) but I am trying Natasha’s fresh cooked salmon version! Check out Natasha’s Kitchen for a really fabulous video for cooking these scrumptious fish cakes!
- SALMON CAKES
- ROASTED POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY
- ROASTED ASPARAGUS
SATURDAY
We eat dinner a little on the late side. And it is HARD to get excited about making a full meal starting at 6:00! So I am a big fan of starting dinner prep in the morning. And if I can make the dinner up to the point of putting it in the oven, better yet! Do yourself a favor, start dinner prep when it’s convenient for you.. and make this pesto recipe.
- PASTA WITH PESTO
- GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE
- GARDEN TOMATOES
TREAT OF THE WEEK
Okay! This is absolutely the hands down best zucchini bread in the world! Yes, it is!!!! Make it and you will be convinced!
Have a scrumptious week my culinary friends!

I made the steak fajitas this past week and was so easy and good. I cut up an extra pepper and marinated the flank steak in seasoning for about 5 hours. Can’t wait to try the lemon zucchini bread!
These recipes look amazing!
going out o a boat tomorrow for the day with friends and I made the lemon zuccinni loaf to take along with a few appetizers. Great recipe. Once again thank you.
Can’t wait to try the chicken with tomato and basil cream sauce!!! Looks absolutely delicious!
The Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas sound yummy! Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us!
Making your Nana’s rice, to serve with pork chops. Smells yummy.
I get a lot of ideas from Pinterest, too. These all look yummy, but I’ve pretty much been eating vegan and since temps are over 100 these days, cold food sounds better to me right now. I get a lot of healthy, imaginative, and good ideas from this blog: https://www.swansonvitamins.com/blog/recipes/
Beautiful recipes, Yvonne. I so wish I could find whole fish here. I will look next time I am in Giant Eagle, but I think that all I ever seen in the fish case are fillets.
So who else is hungry now? It all looks delicious.
Thanks for sharing all your special recipes. Everything looks and sounds delicious!! Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
IVE got to try that taco soup, the lemon cake and those good looking meat balls ! Yum!
What a menu…I’m salivating!
You’re my favorite source for recipes 🙂
A picture of a prepared dish with the recipe is worth a thousand words! When it turns out like the photo in the magazine – AWESOME! Some of my favorite recipes have come from Midwest Living, Southern Living, all because of the photo.
