Quick & Easy Weeknight Dinners

It’s official. We’re back in the groove of school, so I want to share 13 quick and easy dinners for the busy weeknights. I know those nights when you’ve worked all day, and the kids get home from school but still have activities. There’s very little time between each, and you think a drive-thru might be the answer. However, homemade is much healthier and more delicious, and these recipes will be faster than takeout!

From easy meal-prep roasted chicken and thirty-minute meals to one-pot and sheet pan meals, these dinners will become regulars. My baked cod harissa dinner is elegant enough to host guests during the week, and with my chopped cheese recipe, fried chicken & pasta dinner, and Halal cart-style chicken bowls, the kids won’t even notice they haven’t eaten out.

If you’d like help with meal planning each week, click on the “Meal Plans” tab at the top of the page for a variety of weekly meal plans with shopping lists and recipes. There are enough meal plans to help you get through 25 weeks, including the holidays! You’ll love how simple it is to keep yourself and your family on a balanced diet and how much stress is lifted by knowing what’s for dinner every night!
