Happy Spring!!! Spring is such a pretty season here in Lancaster County. The weather can still be very unpredictable but I just saw a hillside of yellow crocus and a gathering of robin this week so I know warmer days will soon be here. Ready for a yummy menu this week? Me too!
MONDAY
I’m so excited to make tonight’s dinner from Barbara at Butter And Baggage!
You know my love of Tex-Mex food and this recipe is easy! I have one pack of chicken left in the freezer and this recipe is worth using THE LAST CHICKEN!!!
We have three cans of vegetarian refried beans in the pantry. So I’ll be using them for dinner too!.
- QUESO CHICKEN
- CORN TORTILLAS
- REFRIED BEANS
TUESDAY- SOUP
I’m part Hungarian and Polish so this cabbage roll soup speaks to my roots! Thank you so so much, Jaclyn at Classy Cooking. This recipe looks just so delicious! Jaclyn is an amazing foodie blogger!
I’ll add a pound of Bob Evan’s sage sausage to the hamburger. And a can of tomato soup to the mix too! This makes the soup taste like my Nani’s.
- CABBAGE ROLL SOUP
- HOMEMADE SOURDOUGH BREAD
WEDNESDAY
We eat Pasta Carbonara pretty regularly at StoneGable! It’s such an easy meal!!! As long as I have eggs, parmesan cheese (yes, I use the green container shaky kind for this recipe- no judging) bacon and pasta I can make this in less than 30 minutes. And it’s company-worthy!
Don’t miss the salad dressing post below. It’s an oldie but goodie. It’s a primer on how to make both oil based and creamy salad dressings. I don’t care for bottled dressing. Making homemade salad dressing is so easy and so so much better than anything (except Gazebo Room) that comes out of a bottle.
THURSDAY- SLOW COOKER
Tonight I’m making an absolutely sublime recipe from Serene at House Of Yum that Bobby will really enjoy! It’s important to do things special for those we love!
My daughter-in-law Abigail made it for us and we all loved it so I’m giving it a try!
- SLOW COOKER PORK CARNITAS
- REFRIED BEANS
- CHIPS AND SALSA
FRIDAY
I made air fryer cod last week and it was scrumptious! I off-roaded and did not follow my menu because I just found frozen cod in the freezer and got hungry for it! So I tried it in the air fryer.
It was DELICIOUS!!!! I’m so excited for you to try tonight’s cod recipe from Tatiana at Berry And Maple.
SATURDAY
For me, pot roast is pure comfort food! I make this dish often because it is a one-pot meal and just so good! I even make it for company if we are having a casual dinner. And it gets rave reviews!
My son Christopher loves pot roast too and it reminds him of home! How sweet!
- PERFECT POT ROAST
- CRUSTY BREAD
SUNDAY
Today’s menu sounds like Easter dinner. And it almost is. When early spring rolls around I really start wanting potato salad! Not to toot my own horn, but this potato salad is the best you will ever make. Seriously!
My Nani made it and taught me. Everyone wants me to bring this potato salad to picnics and other gatherings!
So as an early Easter treat Bobby and I are having ham and potato salad!
- SPIRAL HAM IN AN OVEN BAG
- THE BEST POTATO SALAD YOU WILL EVER EAT
- ROAST ASPARAGUS
SWEET TREAT OF THE WEEK
This week I’m making this beautiful lemon loaf cake. It perfect for Easter so I’m making two and freezing one for Easter dinner. This loaf cake is lemony and a beautiful early spring dessert!

cannot find beautiful asparagus salad recipe
It is part of the recipes at the bottom of the post. Check there. It says BEAUTIFUL ASPARAGUS SALAD. Hope this helps.
I think what they are saying is the recipe at the bottom is for a different asparagus salad than the one you have pictured. We are interested in the recipe for the asparagus salad you have pictured. It looks like a much nicer salad with the Parmesan
This all look delicious! Either you are extremely organized and able to plan ahead or I slept through a few weeks. I just noticed it say Menu for week of April 6th ! ?
Sorry, the title is wrong!LOL! I’ll fix that!
I would like the recipe for the lovely asparagus salad pictured at the top of the page.
There is an Asparagus Salad at the bottom of the menu with the recipes that aren’t on the menu but I would like to try. It’s Spring Asparagus Salad. Hope this helps!
Everything looks simply amazing ! I can’t wait to try them all.
Yum! I’m so looking forward to that Cabbage Soup
Wednesday’s link to the salad dressing doesn’t work. A 404 error code comes up.
oops! I’ll look into it! Thanks!
Sandy, the link is right. It has the homemade dressing for the Italian Salad. Use greens, tomatoes, chopped pepperoni, cucumbers, and mozzarella cheese to make the salad. And then get the Italian dressing from the post. Hope this helps.
