Pizza Casserole for Remarkably Bright Creatures and the Weekly Menu

 

Back in 2023, I read the novel Remarkably Bright Creatures.  I enjoyed the novel so much that I suggested it for our Lit Happens Book Club and was inspired to make a Chicken with Mushrooms recipe that I shared along with my Book Review.  

An Easy One Skillet Dinner and the Weekly Menu

Tender Pork Tenderloin, Caramelized Sweet Potatoes, and Roasted Apples cooked together in one skillet for an easy, weeknight meal.

Ground Pork Fried Rice and the Weekly Menu

This colorful, delicious, semi-homemade dinner comes together quickly, starting with ground pork.  It is flavorful, tasty, and nutritious.  It is a great way to use up leftover rice, but you can also use precooked rice from those microwaveable cups or pouches with great results.  If you have leftover or fresh veggies, feel free to add them to this stir-fry. A package of frozen stir-fry vegetables makes this meal quick and easy.

Egg Foo Young #SundayFunday

This popular carryout dish is a Chinese/American version of an omelet.  Chock-full of flavorful pork and vegetables, it is cooked much longer and browned much more than a French omelet, then smothered in a flavorful, savory gravy.

Swedish Meatballs~~Recipe Redo #SundayFunday
