Midweek Menu Meal Plan: 11.11.26

Roasted Pork Tenderloin: You can cook the potatoes and pork together in the same oven — set the oven to 425°F and check on the pork after 15-18 minutes. Cook the pork to an internal temp of 145°F.

Oven Roasted Potatoes With Pesto: If you want to make these in the air fryer — cook at 400°F for 14 minutes, shake the air fryer basket halfway through and continue to cook until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.

Maple Bacon Green Beans: Crisp the bacon first. Cook it until it’s good and crisp, then use a little of the drippings to sauté your onion and garlic.

Garlic Knots: These garlic knots can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container for 3 days. Otherwise, they can be frozen for up to 2 months or stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Pound Cake: Pound cake is a great make-ahead dessert. Bake it a day before serving, let it cool completely, then wrap it well.

Whipped Ranch Dip: Customize the dip to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce for a little kick, stir in finely chopped dill, parsley, or green onions along with the chives for extra freshness, mix in some grated parmesan for some umami, or sprinkle in paprika and chopped bacon for a smoky flavor.

Sausage Cheese Croissant Casserole: Use vegetables like green onions, red pepper, green peppers, spinach, or caramelized onions for extra flavor and texture. Substitute mozzarella cheese, gruyere cheese, or Swiss cheese if desired.

Crock Pot Fall Potpourri: There are all kinds of ways to change up the scent. Use grapefruit, lime, or lemon slices instead of oranges, add a splash of almond or vanilla extract, and add in other pleasant smelling herbs, spices, or fresh fruit like cranberries.
