50 Easy Weeknight Meals
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the crisp cool air and the colorful foliage of the trees. And, while I am always busy with work, errands, and all the little things we Moms do in a day’s time – don’t get me started on the list, I love to spend a little extra time outside in the evening just enjoying nature and the beautiful scenery. The only trouble with that is it leaves little time to throw a nourishing meal together. Of course, we still have to feed our family and that is why I love quick and Easy Weeknight Meals!
Who loves easy weeknight meals? Everyone!
With a repertoire of Easy Weeknight Meals, I can afford to take a little extra time to relax and enjoy the colorful display of nature and know that I can still get a delicious dinner on the table! And, did I mention we love comfort foods in the Fall? There is just something about warming up with yummy comfort food. When easy and comfort foods come together, it’s a sure winner!
One of our favorite comfort foods for Fall is this Perogi Casserole Recipe. It brings together the flavors of mushrooms, bacon, and cheese alongside pillows of fluffy potato stuffed perogies in an easy to make casserole! It is super easy to make and oh so yummy!

I am a mother that hates to have my children eat fast food. I will work on cooking a meal nearly 7 days a week just to bypass all the preservatives, saturated fat, soy, and so on. It is very challenging to do so being disabled though. Thank you for sharing this list. I am always looking for easier dishes to cook on a busy day.
