by Donya Mullins Leave a Comment This post may contain affiliate links.

Midweek Menu #115 features a fresh salad, flavor loaded crock pot chicken, easy to make Mexican rice, and a southern classic dessert. It’s time to turn suppertime into fiesta time!

Midweek Menu #115 features Pineapple Slaw, Crock Pot Mexican Chicken, Instant Pot Mexican Rice, and Southern Pound Cake.

Sometimes you need a party. You know, when the average and ordinary are just, ugh, too much and you need amp things a bit. I’ve found one of the best ways to do this is with a special meal and this week, I’ve done just that!

I’ve pulled together 4 recipes that are packed with all your favorite mexican restaurant flavors. Each one is easy to make so you get to enjoy a fiesta right in your own home! Now, let’s get cooking!

Midweek Menu #115

Pineapple Slaw

Pineapple Slaw is sweet and crunchy with a light dressing that will have you feeling like it’s summertime with every single bite! 

Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken

Shredded chicken that’s been cooked low and slow in the crock pot, flavored with taco seasoning and salsa is great for tacos, nachos, burrito bowls, and salads. This easy to make, versatile recipe will quickly become your go-to when it’s time to serve up your favorite Mexican dishes!

Instant Pot Mexican Rice

Thanks to the Instant Pot, this quick-cooking Mexican Rice is ready in no time! It has authentic flavors of that much-loved dish from your favorite Mexican restaurant with just the right amount of mild spice and a hint of tomatoes.

Southern Pound Cake

Southern Pound Cake is beautiful, rich and a classic worth raving about! It’s buttery and soft on the inside with a thick crumbly top that makes it totally irresistible.

One of the best things about creating recipes and writing for A Southern Soul is hearing from my readers. I’m a “people person” so there’s nothing like connecting with folks. Whether it’s a comment on Facebook, Instagram, or the blog, I love hearing from people who take a moment to send me a message.

Often times, those messages come in the form of a question about what items I use to make a recipe. Sometimes the question comes from a seasoned cook who is curious about what brands I use. There are also questions from folks who are trying to be better home cooks and just need a little help at building a good foundation of tools in their kitchen.

I take all those questions to heart and decided to put together a list of the 10 Things I Use In My Kitchen Every Week.
