Welcome to another Menu Planning Monday! Here I try to plan out healthy, EASY meals that will get me in and out of that kitchen as quickly as possible while still keeping our palettes satisfied.
Fall is officially here, and so are all the goodies that come with it, like cooler weather and unfortunately, a cold. Some good comfort food is needed around here and these recipes are sure to please.
Monday
I used to eat SO many Chicken Pot Pies as a kid. I LOVED them. I still do! So this is soooo calling my name.
UPDATE- I made this tonight with the coconut cream and am not a fan. It was smelling SO good before I added the coconut cream and I think would be delicious with the real cream. I would also double this recipe.

Wednesday
Date night! = Grilled cheese and tomato soup for the kiddos
Thursday
Mexican Chicken, Sweet Potato and Black Bean Skillet
We all really enjoyed this the last time I made it. Time for a repeat! Note-if you have littles sensitive to spice, leave out the chili powder and maybe even the green chilis. 🙂
Also note-read the part about the sweet potatoes before you begin as they need extra time. I now just roast them in the oven for about 35-40 mins on 400 and that takes care of that!

You are so welcome! Glad it helps!
All of these look so good and perfect for fall! Thanks for sharing!

Wow – what a great menu for the week. They all sound delicious, especially that soup. I love pot pie too, I’ve never had pot pie soup before.
My tip is to make it with the real cream! 🙂

Winners, as usual! I love chicken pot pie, too, so I’m definitely trying this soup!
Hahaha thank you!!
Going to try the grilled cheese and tomato soup with my toddler. He loves soup 🙂 I am also a big fan of pot pies and am looking forward to the recipe you started out with.
Oh then I bet he will love dipping his grilled cheese in the soup!
Those look amazing! I really need to get better at meal planning.
Or, just come to my site every Monday and I will have done it for you! 😉
