October 2021 Dinner Menu

September 28, 2021 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

After having visitors in and out of our home for a good part of the last month, things are finally settling down around here! This is nice because it’ll give us some time to relax before we enter the busy Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

What’s for dinner in my house during October 2021? Menu items include Bourbon Chicken, Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo, and Chicken Pot Pie.

Our weather has finally cooled off a bit. We still have highs in the upper 80s, but that’s much better than the upper 90s! This is cool enough weather for soup, right? I think so, which is why I’m including soups and other fall favorites on our menu for October (you can see past menus here).

  • Chicken drumsticks, homemade macaroni and cheese, fresh veggies with ranch dip
