Tired of eating take-out food? These recipes on Menu Plan Monday will have you enjoying your favorite meals made right in your own kitchen!

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

In the great state of Utah, we have a holiday that celebrates the brave men and women who blazed a path across America to settle into this part of the county. July 24th celebrates Pioneer Day. July is always a highlight because we not only get to celebrate Independence Day, but our state has its own special day for our ancestors. This week’s Menu Plan Monday is one full of recipes that even the pioneers would be proud of. If you aren’t celebrating, or from Utah, then this menu will be full of fun and delicious meals perfect for any summer celebration.

Every special day enjoys an even more special breakfast to set the tone. When you wake up to a batch of my Cinnamon Roll Waffles, you’ll be floored. This waffle enhancement is out of this world! Topped with melted butter and a little sweet cream cheese glaze, this stack of waffles is guaranteed to put a grin on anyone’s face.

Since breakfast will satisfy and fill even the hungriest, we’ll still have fun on the grill for lunch and keep it light. Cheeseburger Lettuce wraps are great for any cookout, day, or night. These will help you save room for dessert!

At the end of a long summer day, what’s better than a cool treat? My Mint Ice Cream Sandwich Cake makes all your sweet summer dreams come true. So easy to put together and totally satisfying to serve. This recipe shares so well, and you’ll be able to make sure everyone gets a little something sweet. Whether you’re celebrating a local holiday, or just enjoying time with the family, I hope you love this set of recipes as much as I do.

From my kitchen to yours. –Holly xo
