Meal Plan Ideas for Next Week: 7 Dinner Recipes to Try

What to Cook Next Week: Comfort dishes, my favorite fall salad, and more.

First, there are 26 days until the midterm elections. I mention this because I — Simone, the person who writes and shares everything on this blog — believe this is an important vote. If you aren’t registered, please consider doing so and using your voice. If you think it’s odd to see a reminder about voting on a food blog, you can read more about my perspective in an earlier post. If you disagree with me and prefer not to follow this blog because of it, that’s fine — the internet is full of choices. If you stick around, welcome — I’m not going anywhere.

Now, here are the recipes I think you might enjoy cooking next week:

We could all use some comfort food. This Pressure Cooker Pot Roast & Gravy delivers that cozy, slow-braised flavor without the long cooking time.

This Harvest Chicken Soup is essentially fall in a bowl. Roasted chicken and vegetables give the broth deep flavor, and optional sweet potato gnocchi add the perfect comforting bite.

I ate this Sesame Spinach & Citrus Salad more times than I can count last fall and winter. Bright, crunchy, and addictive.

If you have a little time this weekend, make a batch (or double batch) of my NY Style Paleo Pizza Crust. It freezes well, so you’ll be happy to have it on hand for quick meals later.

Pumpkin Fresh Cranberry Scones — slightly sweet, a touch tart, and easy to make.
