60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes {and When It's Time to End It}

If you're looking for a winning recipe for your holiday cookie swaps, then scroll through this round-up  of 60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes on Taste As You Go!   Do you ever get That Feeling in your gut when you realize that what once brought you happiness now fills you with dread? You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.)

What's for Dinner: October 6 - October 12

What's for Dinner: October 6 - October 12 | A week of dinners on Taste As You Go

Since last week was so busy, I made sure we made time for some fall family fun this weekend. My main goal? Spruce up our front step and decorate it for the season.

We headed to a local garden center and spent way too much time picking out mums and an assortment of pumpkins. Then, before his swim lesson this afternoon, my son and I went shopping for a new fall wreath for the front door.

I'm so in love with the finished look. Now it's all about keeping everything looking fresh... and keeping the squirrels away from the pumpkins!

Of course, focusing so much attention on the house took time away from other things. Like getting this week's menu plan post on the blog at a reasonable hour. Alas... such is life.

Without further ado, here's what's on deck for dinner at our house this week! 

What's for Dinner: October 6 - October 12 | A week of dinners on Taste As You Go

Sunday: Stuffed Pepper Casserole

I was going to make this for dinner last night, but we were out late and just cobbled together a meal when we got home. So I bumped the casserole up to tonight.


This is one of our family's favorite fall salads. (Though, to be honest, I make it all year around!) Since they were on sale, I bought some dried cherries to add on top. So good!

Tuesday; Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Mushrooms and Roasted Red Potatoes

It's been a long time since I've made this pork tenderloin recipe, and I have to admit... I'm really looking forward to it. Let's hope the kids leave enough so we have a nice variety of leftovers for Buffet Night this week!

Wednesday: Buffet Night


Ground turkey was also on sale recently, so my husband has been tasked with making a batch of my Three Bean Chili with turkey instead of beef. I have to work on Thursday night, so I made it a little easier for him by planning the meal and making sure we have all of the ingredients in the house.

Friday: Chicken Parmesan Pizza

This is an easy pizza to throw together. Use store-bought dough and jarred pizza sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and diced breaded, pre-cooked chicken tenders. Then grated some fresh Parmesan cheese on top and bake. Ta da!

Saturday: Swedish Meatballs over Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with Peas 

I'm trying to avoid a trip to IKEA by making this meal at home. Think it'll work?
