Our family weekly menu plan for the week as well as a recipe for Skillet Steak Tortellini and Veggies – a quick and tasty weeknight meal!
Man… I’ve had the hardest time getting back into the swing of cooking and blogging this year. That’s probably obvious by my lack of blog posts lately, isn’t it?
The problem is that unlike my slow start to 2014 with reading, I have already read so many great books this year! The kind that you don’t want to put down and just want to ignore life and read all the time. I haven’t been totally ignoring my family and reading… but I have ignored going to the grocery store and cooking and blogging for the most part and instead have been devouring these books! I’ll write a post about the books at the end of January, but if you are curious what they are…this book was a page turner. I couldn’t put it down! Along the same lines, I couldn’t wait to get to the end of this book so I could see how it unfolded.This book was incredible and so well written, which shouldn’t surprise me since I love everything by this author. And this book…well, I listened to it on audio and loved the narrators and it kept me on the treadmill, even when I was tired of running. They were all so good!
So if you are looking for some really good books to start your year of reading off on the right foot, I highly recommend those ones. I’m so excited as I have a stack of books to get through that I think are going to be really great. So I may not be blogging, but I am doing my due part to read books so I can recommend them to you 🙂 You are welcome.
I think my family may be tired of sandwiches, and pretty soon my clients are going to be needing me to, you know, actually do the work they hired me to do…so this is the week I get back to the grind. And we all know that without a weekly menu plan, my intentions to get back to cooking are pretty nil. It’s hard to cook when you don’t go to the grocery store and for me, it’s hard to get back to the grind without a plan in place. So here we have it… the first Dine & Dish weekly menu plan for 2015. My official start of getting my life back to routine. *sigh*
Make sure to read below the weekly menu plan for this awesome recipe of Skillet Steak Tortellini and Veggies. It’s a great, protein packed meal for a busy weeknight! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

This is my kind of dinner! I was just looking The Girl on the Train last night, it’s going on my Kindle tonight. You are the best for book recommendations and dinner too!
Love the sound of those books – they are all now on my list. Plus, you’ve reminded me I have some steak in the freezer. Yay!
Sues says This dinner is basically the best of every world! And I’m totally with you on the reading… If only we had enough time in our days to spend a good amount of time on EVERYTHING we love!
Gosh, I haven’t cooked a thing for the blog this year. Im kind of with you, reading loads, and just trying to organize my house, really get into the swing of things this year. Doesn’t help that my creative juices just are not flowing at all! I love menu planning though, and would be staring at the contents of my fridge for 30 minutes every night trying to figure out what to make, without it! These dinners all sound fantastic! & I LOVE the steak skillet!

I always love reading your book recommendations! And this skillet — perfection!
- Susan says
I am with you! This is the week that I get back to the routine – double *sigh*! Happy New Year! xx
I know it would be an extra step, but do you think cutting the steak after grilling would be worth it? Meaning, creating bite-sized pieces rather than strips? For ease of shoveling… err… eating without needing a knife. 😉
- Kristen says
Totally appropriate 🙂
I’ve just gotten back from vacation, and I did SO MUCH reading, it was so nice to not worry about anything else and just immerse myself in a good boo. Definitely makes it hard to get back to real life. This is the perfect weeknight dinner, especially for my husband and I, as he can’t live without beef and I can’t live without pasta!

I’m having a hard time getting into the swing of things too…I just want to read too! I think January is perfect for it 🙂 so many books to add to my list.
My fam would love this dinner!! I am taking it easy this month, posted only a couple of recipes. After such a busy holiday season, I just want to play with the kiddos (especially since we are having such a warm January in KS!) and binge watch my favorite shows! 🙂 This skillet looks fabulous! Your whole menu looks delicious!
- Amanda says
This is such a great recipe! I am craving this now!!!
I’ve been into reading too. Staying up too late sometimes. Sigh. It’s my reward for being a good girl and getting
my tasks done. This meal would be a great reward too. I’ve been craving steak. Oh the books look very very interesting!- amanda @ fake ginger says
Steak and tortellini are two of my favorite foods ever so I know I’d love this. It looks awesome!
- Nutmeg Nanny says
I could barely wait until the 13th when The Girl on the Train came out. I bought it right away and of course life got crazy. I need read it asap! This skillet meal looks great too. I’m such a sucker for steak.
I’m so glad to have a few more book recommendations. I read so many good books in December, but January’s been off to a slow start so far. Invention of Wings is definitely next on my list!
- Julia says
I always make a chicken dish with tortellini and veggies. I love the idea of using steak instead! Great recipe!
Sometimes you just gotta take a break from the blogging world and recharge by cuddling up with a book. 🙂 But I’m glad you came back with one hit of a swing with this dish, holy moly it sounds incredible. Plus who doesn’t like steak! 🙂

Um….. I think if my boyfriend sees this he would drop to a knee and ask you to marry him. He would freakin love this.
- Kate @FramedCooks says
Combining steak and tortellini? This is why you are one of my culinary heroes…I LOVE THIS! And, why didn’t I think of this? 🙂
