What's for Dinner Tonight?

Not sure what to make for dinner tonight? Here are some tried and true meal ideas from my house to yours. These are not my own recipes, but rather a selection of my favorite tried and true recipes from my Pinterest board.

First up: Irish Beef Stew. I don't know what makes it Irish, but I do know it's fabulous, creamy, beefy, comfort food.

Here's an amazing one-pot pasta dish that you can throw together while you're tidying up the kitchen. That's what I do. It's ready in less than half an hour. I like to serve some bread with it. Easy Parmesan Knots do the trick.

The next meal I want to share with you still makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This is not your average slow cooker pot roast recipe. The balsamic vinegar gives it a rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor I've never imagined a pot roast could provide. Seriously, rush out and try this. It's fabulous. One note: I don't roast my veggies (except for the onion) in with the meat. I prefer to roast them by themselves in the oven.

Six Sisters' Stuff never disappoints. 

Keep your Crock Pot out for the next recipe, too. This simple soup is filling and rich and satisfying. It's also healthy. But you don't have to tell anyone that. Just let them nom it up.

This is an all-around family favorite. I get asked regularly to make the chicken and dumplings with the "flat" dumplings. This is it. This is the best recipe for chicken and dumplings I've tried.

Don't forget about dessert! Here are a few delicious tried and true dessert recipes we love. I hope they'll become new favorites in your home, too.

The cookies are easy to make and the presentation is fabulous. I love peanut butter and chocolate together.

And here's a pie that bakes its own "crust" right in the pan. We love this custard pie.
