This Week for Dinner: September 18-24

Heading into another week of fall weather with a smile! The salsa is finally all canned (110 pints!), the garden is in its last week, and we have just a few jars of tomatoes left to process. After a terrific summer in the garden, I’m really ready to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor.


Our (almost) complete pantry as of today:



Salsa



Green Beans & Peppers



We’re also gearing up for a family bonfire this weekend, so I’ll be helping with a variety of fun foodie projects, including making an amazing vegetable soup that we’ll eventually be canning. I’ll be sure to post pics and recipes next week!


So here’s the plan for the week:


Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Ribs



A favorite of my boys-and the Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce adds a yummy finish!

Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup



A new spin on grilled cheese, served with homemade tomato soup. Sure to be a hit with my spice-loving stepson.

Crockpot Salsa Chicken


A recipe from my brother, Mike. I’ve made this a few times and the results are delicious! Served with tortillas or over rice.

Autumn Chopped Salad with Chicken, Pear and Cranberries



And a hearty salad to round out the week-I’m really looking forward to using some new varieties of pears that are now in season!
