I have talked to so many women who would love to make a dinner plan, but have run out of ideas for dinner. If you are in that boat, here are some simple ideas to fill out your weekly menu.
Grown Up Grilled Cheese
Forget the white bread and processed cheese food. Try some gouda on whole wheat or garlic Havarti on sourdough. If you are watching calories you can split the sandwich and pair it with Trader Joe’s Roasted Tomato Soup and a small salad. Yum!
Lemon Chicken
Simple recipe, delicious results. Serve with some grilled veggies and brown rice.
1 tsp. thyme leaves
½ tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 c. lemon juice, fresh squeezed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Mix all ingredients except chicken breasts together. Pour over chicken breasts in a one-gallon bag to marinade.
Drain marinade. Place chicken breasts in a pan sprayed with light cooking oil. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes.
Serves 4.
Pesto Chicken
½ c. prepared pesto
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 slices mozzarella cheese
Pour pesto over chicken breasts in a one-gallon bag. Let marinade.
Drain marinade. Place chicken breasts in a pan sprayed with light cooking oil. Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast.
Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes.
Serves 4.
Spaghetti and Marinara with Veggies
Health-up your pasta with the addition of some veggies lightly sautéed in cooking spray with a few herbs. Delicious and it bulks up
what can otherwise be a thin meal. For some extra protien, heat up a few frozen turkey meatballs.
Chicken Cesar Pita
Prep 10 Minutes
Start to Finish 10 Minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 Cesar Salad Kit from the Produce Section of the Grocery Store
1 package pre-cooked chicken cut into cubes
4 pitas
Directions
- Cut pitas in half and open up pitas. Put pita haves in the toaster. Toast the pitas and let cool.
- Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients from the salad kit (except for the croutons) with the chicken
chunks.
- Stuff the toasted pita with chicken Cesar salad mix.
- Garnish with whatever extra goodies (tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.)

My baby is here…
Isn’t she adorable?
It’s always so weird to get your book – Will I still like it? Is it still where I “am”? Does it hold up?
I have to say – I really, really like it. It’s the kind of advice I wish I would have been given when I was starting out and cooking for my family of four, and then six.
It feels a little weird to be talking about it, but I’m excited, and you’re my people, so if I can’t talk to you about it, who can I talk to.
If you need a little help getting dinner on the table each and every night, a little inspiration, a plan, check it out on Amazon or if you want it signed (and with the awesome bookmark that has Roger’s Rockin’ Guac recipe) check it out here.

I hope you’ve enjoyed your Labor Day holiday and ate something BBQ-y or something simply summery…
So if you’ve partied had this weekend, it’s time to think about what you are going to have the rest of the week. Don’t let Tuesday catch you by surprise. Go into the week with a plan – even if it’s a back-of-the-envelope plan.
Tuesday – Balsamic-Glazed Pork Chops (recipe can be found here at Epicurious ) with garlic spinach and new potatoes
Wednesday – Every Man for Yourself (or as some of you call it “YOYO” You’re On Your Own.)
Thursday – BBQd Chicken with Asparagus and rice
Friday – Speaking out of town and having dinner at the church (my favorite kind of meal – the kind that’s made by someone else…)
So tell me in the comments what you are eating this week, and you will be entered to win an advance copy of The “What’s for Dinner?” Solution.
Our winners from last week are:
Kate St. Amour and Lynda Williams.

Oh friend, how can I thank you for the prayers for me this week.
I knew you were praying. I could feel it, I could see it, and you told me.
I knew it every time I saw one of those MOPS moms praying over another MOPS mom.
I knew it in the divine appointments that were happening every time I turned around.
I knew it when I stepped on stage, to speak to the largest live audience I’ve ever spoken to, and had less nerves than I do when I’ve spoken to a dozen women.
I’m so excited to share with you all that God has done, and I will be over the next few weeks ( and there are ways that you will get to participate…) But for now know this:
You are the best bloggy friends a girl could have.
God used you in a big way.
I owe you a coffee the next time we hang out.

Hey friends.
Thursday is a big day for me, and I could really use your prayers. It’s kinda the biggest speaking engagement I’ve ever had, and while I’m humbled by God that I get to do anything even in the realm of this event with MOPS, Sara Groves, and Max Lucado, I’m also, well, freaking out a bit.
- Would you pray that I wouldn’t get in the way of what God wants to say.
- Would you pray that these MOPS moms are just blessed this whole convention and know that there is a God who loves so sweetly that He would orchestrate all of THIS for them.
- Would you pray that I get some sleep…
I will be speaking on THE HUSBAND PROJECT from 3:00-4:30 and then in the MOPS presentation STORYBOARD from 6-8:30. (All Nashville times…)
Thank you friends. I can’t telly you how much my bloggy friends mean to me that I can come to you and ask for this. Love each and every one of you.
