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

I love getting into the kitchen and turning up the heat on traditional recipes. Bringing a little bit of warmth to the palate every now and again wakes up the senses. This week for Menu Plan Monday I am catering to the families that like to enjoy some heat every now and then. If you and your family you don’t prefer spice, don’t worry! I’ve also included a set of recipes that work well for those who prefer to keep things mild.

For a light lunch that is sure to pack a little punch then try my Southwest Chicken Caesar Wraps. This lunch takes all the traditional components of a Caesar salad, wraps it up in a tortilla and infuses flavors of the Southwest. Don’t worry, you won’t break a sweat, but you may want a second wrap because they’re that delicious.

For a main course entree I highly recommend trying my Sweet and Spicy Pork Chops. These juicy and spicy chops are always a hit when I serve them. Adults are sure to love these and they’re a great new option for the kids to try!

When it comes to dessert, I shy away from spicy things because that just seems a bit too much. But one flavor that I do love in treats is mint! A hint of mint goes a long way and is a cool refreshing way to end any meal. This week I’m making my Asphalt Pie copycat from Winger’s restaurant. This is one of my favorite desserts! We like to top ours with extra caramel and chocolate sauce. Yum!

From my kitchen to yours. –Holly xo
