It feels like fall is fully underway (even though some of us are still waiting for those cooler temps to arrive). I grew up in Utah and miss the changing fall leaves this time of year! Wherever you are, i hope you feel like you’re getting a taste of fall.
This week I’m looking forward to making one of the most popular recipes in Recipe Club, Crispy Tacos my “always hungry” 13 year old approves of, and our first batch of chili this fall. I’m also making my Soft Caramel Corn for a church activity.
Remember, the recipes listed below are here to help you make dinner decisions. We all know that deciding what to make is much harder than actually making it! Make one, make them all—whatever helps you most. Dinner is hard, you’re doing great.
Here’s to a new season, new recipes, and making fall memories around the table.
Have a great week,
Indian Butter Chicken
Our second most popular recipe in all of Recipe Club. A super easy traditional Butter Chicken that rivals any restaurant.
Sheet Pan Crispy Black Bean Tacos
My favorite way to make tacos for a crowd! A delicious black bean filling all tucked into a golden crispy tortillas, served alongside my Creamy Cilantro Ranch. YUM!
Slow Cooker Chili
A slow cooker chili that requires NO CHOPPING and packed with protein. It’s delicious and couldn’t be easier to throw together. We like to serve it over baked potatoes for a weeknight dinner!
Loaded Sweet Potatoes
Stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect healthy weeknight dinner! Loaded with zesty black beans, diced avocado, and creamy yogurt sauce.
Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken
A classic combo of ingredients that makes the MOST delicious chicken with as little effort as possible.
Disneyland Cornbread
A Big Thunder Mountain Railroad favorite! A delicious cornbread that’s more cake-y than crumbly. It’s perfectly sweet and extra delicious when served with whipped honey butter.
