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!

Don’t you just love a meal that doesn’t require utensils? I adore any food that I get to hold in my hands and enjoy! Pizza, tacos, ice cream cones, anything that I get to hold onto and scarf down is always a blast to consume. This week for Menu Plan Monday I want to share some of my favorite recipes that you get to hold, eat, and enjoy!
If you’ve been following Life in the Lofthouse for a while now, you already know that we love our Mexican food. My Shrimp Taco Bites are so flavorful, cute and handheld delights! They are perfect for a party appetizer or a simple dinner with the family. Everyone will fall in love with these mini bites!
Margherita Pizza is another handheld favorite around here. You can never go wrong with a slice of pizza. This one in particular is my personal favorite. I love the flavor!
Now for dessert I am going to flip the script just a bit. I am taking inspiration from a dessert that you normally hold to eat, and turning it into something shareable for the whole family. My Caramel Apple Poke Cake is out of this world! Just in time for the sweet beginning of fall, this rich and satisfying dessert is a great end to a delicious meal. I think you’re going to enjoy it as much as we do.
Have a great week everyone, and I’ll see you next Monday for another set of fabulous recipes.
From my kitchen to yours. -Holly xo

I just tried something new. Had a chuck roast to fix in slow cooker. I used meat tenderizer first, then seasoned with S & P and garlic powder. I let the roast sit in fridge for a couple of hours then I seared it. placed roast in cooker along with some onions and thought what the heck I will throw in some taco seasoning and beef broth. Cooked on high for 5 hours. it came out really tender and had so much flavor. I had been wanting some shredded beef quesadillas for a while and now i have them.
try if you like. i really enjoy your recipes. Thanks!
