Menu Plan Monday #575

2025 is full of possibilities! Menu Plan Monday is here to ensure your New Year is flavorful AND fabulous!

Menu Plan Monday is a collection of family favorite recipes from dinner to dessert.

Welcome to another week of 2025! The start of a new year is the perfect time to shake things up in the kitchen. Whether it’s trying out unique dishes, embracing healthier options, or indulging in something sweet, this week’s Menu Plan Monday is going to be flavorful, fresh, and fun!

Start on a healthy note with my Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad. Packed with tender chicken, crisp veggies, black beans, and corn, this salad is bursting with bold flavors and hearty textures. Toss it with a zesty homemade dressing for a dish that’s as satisfying as it is nutritious.

Midweek calls for something fun and flavorful, and Mexican Lasagna is just the dish! Layers of tortillas, seasoned beef, beans, cheese, and zesty salsa come together in this unique twist on comfort food. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prepare and even better as leftovers.

End the week with an indulgent dessert that feels like pure magic—Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake. This rich and gooey cake cooks to perfection in the slow cooker, creating a warm, molten center that’s heavenly with a scoop of ice cream. It’s an effortless way to treat yourself while trying something new.

Here’s to trying new things and enjoying every delicious moment along the way! From my kitchen to yours. –Holly xo
