Happy Monday and Post #4 about Successful Sunday Dinners!
I’m posting late today because I got home from Michigan very late last night and couldn’t finish this post until today! I can’t wait to tell you about my special weekend, but let’s move on with Sunday dinner!
Today I’m going to give you some 30-minute meal ideas for Sunday’s. Sometimes having a meal in the oven or crock pot isn’t feasible, so these menus are a great option!
Things to remember when making 30-minute meals:
- As with any other menu, you should still prep anything ahead of time that you can. You may even reduce the time to under 30 minutes!
- Marinate meat
- Chop veggies
- Get ingredients together so you can grab them easily
- Set the table ahead of time.
- Find make-ahead sides
- Make a dessert before-hand, if that’s part of the menu
Here are some ideas to get you thinking…
Stir Fry – Stir-fry is cooked very quickly, making it great any time you’re in a hurry. This recipe for Orange Chicken was new to me and we loved it! I used her Original recipe she mentions, because I wanted lots of orange flavor! It was super good! This picture does NOT do it justice, so please try it anyway!!!

- Brunch foods
- Waffles – How about making these waffles up ahead and freezing them. Then after church, toast as many as needed and having all kinds of fruit toppings for them! Add a side of bacon and you have a great meal!

- German Pancakes – These are a nice twist on regular pancakes and they are soooo good!
- Roasted Vegetable Fritatta – This egg dish is full of great flavors and would be another good make-ahead kind of Brunch dish!
So, step out of the traditional Sunday dinner mold and fix a new kind of menu for your family after church. This could become a family tradition that everyone prefers! It’s certainly one they’ll all enjoy! Who doesn’t love waffles and pancakes?!
I hope these dinner ideas are helpful for you. Let me know if I’m aiding your abilities, or if I still need to address other areas for Successful Sunday dinner!
Lovingly,
