The past week was a banner of unique days. Sunday is the “Ides of March.” Saturday was Pi Day, which won’t come again for 1000 years. Friday was Friday the 13th, and also my birthday. Monday will be back to a normal day, one full of wishing for spring to arrive a little faster. As I worked on creating this week’s meal plan, somehow it became loaded up with cozy slow cooker dinners. Winter hasn’t shaken it’s grip on us so I’m giving in and sticking with hearty meals for the week ahead.
Tuesday brings us St. Patrick’s Day! We are hosting a family feast and I’m excited to share a lovely dinner with family. We will pick out a craft or two for the little ones to work on, take a peek here to see what I might make.
Pin this image and save it in a place you will remember for when you start thinking about what to make for dinner in your home.
On the menu…
Sunday: Chicken cutlets with mushrooms and pearl onions (recipe), roasted asparagus, barley with parsely
Monday: Rustic Chickpea Stew with Apricots and Turnips (recipe) Another meatless Monday meal to serve over couscous.
Tuesday: Corned Beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Love this recipe that finishes with baking the corned beef in the oven with a mustard glaze. Plus our Irish Soda Bread, Dubliner cheese and my sister will surprise us with one of her delicious desserts.
Wednesday: Chicken and Sweet Potato Korma (recipe) in slow cooker. White rice on the side made ahead of time and nann bread.
Thursday: C.O.R.N. {for anyone new, this means Clean Out Refrigerator Night}
Friday: Chef salad
Saturday: Dinner out
Sunday: One more beef stew before winter lets us go. I’ll be trying the one in The Kitchn cookbook (affiliate link)
I hope you all have a fun St. Patrick’s Day and enjoy the week ahead! I’ll raise a glass of Guinness and toast you all who spend a little time reading here. Thank you!

Looks like a great week of dinners in your house! Happy belated to you and cheers to St. Patrick’s day!
I’m still sticking with the hearty slow cooker meals too! Can’t wait to get back to salad and grilling season!
Your St. Patrick’s Day feast sounds wonderful! We’re enjoying Irish soda bread here too. 🙂
You are far more planned than me but I also have beef stew on the menu hopefully for the LAST time.
Every time I read your meal plans, I think I need to do that! You’re so organized!
