7 Simple Dinner Recipes for the Week of 4/2/18
Monday – Leftovers
With yesterday being Easter, we have a ton of leftovers. instead of the usual Ham and sides we decided to be different this year and we had a good, old-fashioned summer cook-out style meal. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and a bunch of different salads. It was delicious, but what was even better was the Strawberry Shortcake Trifle we had for dessert!

Thursday – Homemade Chicken Nuggets & French Fries
It’s been awhile since we’ve had these Homemade Chicken Nuggets, so we’re having a fun night of homemade junk food!

Friday – Cheeseburger Pizza from Foxes Love Lemons
I came across this Cheeseburger Pizza recipe while searching for something else, but the picture looks so good, I figured we’d give it a try for our weekly Pizza night. Doesn’t it look so pretty?! Almost too good to eat…Almost.
Saturday – Lasagna Cupcakes
I’m kicking the spaghetti out again this week and having some Lasagna Cupcakes. It has been. FOREVER. since we’ve last had these and the girls are going to be so excited. It’s a great way to make lasagna when you don’t have a ton of time and it still tastes as good as homemade.
