Easy Weeknight Dinner Ideas
Sheet-Pan Dinners
Sheet-Pan Dinners are a godsend on busy weeknights. Assemble and bake, and let the oven do most of the work. Clean-up is a breeze!
Easy Dinners with Pasta
Weeknights just got easier with these pasta recipes! My favorite is Cacio e Pepe, topped with any seasonal vegetable and a sprinkling of parmesan and you are good to go!
Stir Fry to the rescue for Easy Weeknight Dinners!
One of the quickest meals to get on the table is stir fry! Pick your protein, add a veggie and a sauce, serve over rice or noodles and voila… dinner is ready!
Taco Night!
Tacos are surprisingly quick to make and everyone loves them. Whether you love shrimp, chicken or vegetarian tacos, there is something for everyone!
Weeknight Dinner Ideas with Asian Noodles
Who doesn’t love a big bowl of spicy slippery noodles! Use up stray veggies- zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms or eggplant. Bold flavors and easy to make in one pot, dish it up and dinner is ready.
Thank God for Fried Rice!
Put leftover rice to good use! Always make a double batch of rice – that way you have extras to make fried rice the next day! A quick, easy one-pan dinner that can be loaded with healthy vegetables and your choice of protein. It’s a family favorite around here!
