Meal Plan 2
If you’re anything like me, you love a week that practically plans itself. This one’s all about making the most of what you’ve got, stretching your ingredients, and keeping things downright delicious from start to finish. We’ll kick things off with my famous Cola Ham—sweet, savory, and the gift that keeps on giving. From there, turn those leftovers into a Quiche Lorraine that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen (you didn’t), and then a Pasta Carbonara with Leftover Ham that’s pure comfort in a bowl. Midweek, we’re turning up the flavor with a Classic Shrimp Boil—big, bold, and meant to share—followed by Shrimp Quesadillas that make the best kind of leftovers. And when Saturday rolls around, you’ll already be prepped for gameday with my Leftover Shrimp Boil Dip. Trust me, it’s the recipe everyone will be asking for before kickoff. So grab your grocery list, clear a little fridge space, and let’s cook up a week full of flavor, comfort, and a few new favorites.
Cola Ham with Jezebel Sauce
Sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of kick — it’s the kind of dish that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen (but didn’t). Serve it for supper, then slice up the leftovers for sandwiches, breakfast biscuits, or my Pasta Carbonara with Leftover Ham later in the week. Trust me, this one keeps on giving.

Quiche Lorraine
This is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. How many dishes can you say that about? It’s a cinch to make when you have prepared pie dough on hand (which I always do) and satisfyingly rich for a hearty breakfast or with a side salad for lunch.

Pasta Carbonara with Leftover Ham
You know I’m not letting good leftovers go to waste...especially when we’re talking about that Cola Ham from Sunday supper. This Pasta Carbonara is creamy, comforting, and the perfect way to give that leftover ham a second life. It comes together in about 20 minutes, which means you’ll be sitting down with a glass of wine before you know it.

Shrimp, Corn, Potato, and Sausage Boil
There’s nothing that says “gather ‘round the table” quite like a good old-fashioned shrimp boil.

Shrimp Quesadillas
These shrimp quesadillas are the kind of quick, crowd-pleasing recipe I keep in my back pocket for busy nights. Juicy shrimp tossed with peppers, onions, and just the right amount of seasoning, all tucked between golden, crispy tortillas with plenty of gooey cheese...it doesn’t get much better than this. They’re easy enough for a weeknight dinner but special enough to serve at a party with salsa, guacamole, and a cold margarita on the side.

Leftover Shrimp Boil Dip
You know I can’t let good leftovers go to waste — especially after a shrimp boil. Scoop it up with tortilla chips, pile it on crackers, or just eat it straight from the bowl (no judgment here). It’s the perfect way to stretch one great meal into another.
