Midweek Menu #127 - 4 recipes for a family dinner collage.

This week has been a challenge for almost everyone I know. The cause for all the consternation? Weather. From freezing temps to snow and ice, most of us are dealing with some sort of “thing.”

To help me and mine deal with things, I’ve planned a delicious meal with some of our favorite foods. This week’s MM is all about comfort food that’s not only good for our bodies but our souls as well.

The star of the show is Crock Pot Lemon Chicken. I like to double the recipe and use the leftovers in chicken salad. For this meal, I serve the chicken and a little bit of the sauce over Parmesan Noodles made in the Instant Pot. It’s a marriage made in heaven! I’ve added classic Southern Green Beans (but they’re not cooked for 40 hours) as a side dish and we’re finishing strong with Chocolate Oreo Balls.

This meal proves that even in not so fun times, being with the people you love and sharing a meal can be just the thing you need the most.

Now, let’s get cooking…

Crock Pot Lemon Chicken

Lemon Chicken, cooked low and slow in the crockpot is succulent, juicy, and fall off the bone tender.

Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Noodles

Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Noodles, made in less than 20 minutes, is the ultimate one-pot side dish.

Southern Style Green Beans

Fresh greens beans cooked low and slow with just a bit of smokey bacon bring back great memories of family suppers. These “southern style” green beans are a tradition in many homes and are always at covered dish suppers and church picnics.

Oreo Truffle Balls

No-bake Oreo Truffle Balls are easy to make with only three ingredients! They’re great for any holiday, special occasion and perfect when you want to show a little love to someone you love.
