We are headed apple picking this week so I have some fun extra apple recipes!  I am also working on some Costco recipes for you so I am making the week easier with some shortcut items.

Have a great week

Day 1: Meatless Meal: Cheesy Black Bean Stuffed Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes

Note: I am loosely following the recipe linked above.  I am going to do a combination of potatoes & sweet potatoes, cook them and then stuff them with a mixture of black beans and corn and then melt cheese on top and everyone can choose their toppings of choice (sour cream, avocado, cilantro etc…..)

Note 10/1: So this was 50/50 everyone loved the fillings and were actually excited by the idea but the potatoes were a little too big or I wish I had carved some potato out… I would make again but execute differently 

Day 2: Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan without the breading – serving broccoli & weekly sourdough loaf or pasta

Day 3: Easy shortcut burger night using AmyLu Burgers and serving with a roasted veggie (string beans or brussels) or can do pickles for a faster meal and fresh apples.

Day 4: Bare Crispy Chicken Salads – use your favorite fun bagged salad for an easy night!  Here is the inspiration.

Note: Peter does not eat salads so he usually does raw carrots, cucumbers, avocados….

Treat: Healthy Apple Cake

Breakfast: Applesauce Bread or Muffins

Snack: Slow Cooker Applesauce
