Apple Butter Pork with Cheesy Grits

Recipe By: Foodtastic Mom

Rating: 4.92 out of 5 reviews

Serve with: Cheesy grits and sauteed green beans

I had to add this one in once again at the tail end of fall. Besides, I had leftover apple butter to use up! Everyone loved it just as much this time around. It’s a perfect easy crock pot meal for this busy holiday season.

Smoked Sausage

Recipe By: ME

Serve with roasted potatoes and roasted or steamed cauliflower

I like the Kiolbassa brand of smoked sausage and tend to put them on the menu when they’re on sale. They make for such an easy, quick meal, and I really need that simplicity during the holidays when there are a million things to do!

Get your potatoes (and veg, too, if you’re roasting them) in the oven, wait about 15 minutes or so, get the sausages started, and finish up with steaming the veg if you’re going that route. EASY!

Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

Serve with rice and mixed veggies with butta!

What an easy way to make salmon! My family doesn’t love salmon, truth be told. But it’s so full of nutrients and essential fatty acids, I still weave it into my menus. Usually for my sauce-loving family, that means finding recipes with delicious sauces. And… it usually works. This one certainly did! It’s a keeper.

Meatloaf

Serve with cheesy potato gratin and sauteed spinach

I know I included this somewhat recently, but we had a family birthday this week and this was requested. And let me tell you… it was a HIT. Seriously, for being such an old-fashioned meal, it was comforting and, quite honest, decadent with those potatoes. Oh man… THOSE POTATOES! Worth the extra effort and splurge.

Chicken Pizza

Recipe By: NDTV Food

Rating: None shown, but my family likes it!

Serve with sesame cucumber salad

Tip: use frozen pre-made crust… it’ll make the meal so easy! I like a gluten free cauliflower crust.

Pizza is one of those things that gets a bad rep, but they aren’t all bad! As usual, I can control the ingredients when I make it. But I like this one because it’s an interesting flavor profile and (this is a biggie) it has a good amount of protein!

I’ve been answering the question What’s For Dinner? for my own family for years now. So I figured why not answer it for others who ask the same questionevery week with frustration. And so What’s Fork Dinner? was born.
