5 Easy Dinners for Busy Weeknights


We are back in the busy season. Kids are back in school, and life is just moving and grooving. This is when I rely on an easy dinner.

Here are five easy dinners for when you want something good on the table fast.

​Juicy Ground Turkey Tacos​

Seasoned ground turkey for taco night, made in one skillet. I use my own seasoning instead of a packet.

​Pan-Seared Pork Shoulder Steaks​

Juicy pork steaks with a golden crust, ready in about 20 minutes. They go with just about any side.

​Cream Cheese Chicken​

From my friend Kathryn's site. Chicken and mushrooms in a cream cheese sauce, on the table in about 30 minutes. She serves it over rice.

​Spicy Vodka Rigatoni​

Rigatoni in a creamy tomato vodka sauce with spicy Italian sausage.

​Zuppa Toscana​

A one-pot soup with Italian sausage, potatoes, kale, and a creamy broth. It's the comfort one in the bunch.

All delicious, all weeknight-friendly. I hope you enjoy them all.

Happy Cooking,

spinach artichoke dip in cast iron skillet

Hi Reader, This spinach artichoke dip is a family favorite in my house. The spinach, tender artichokes, and melted cheese are in perfect harmony. The key is the ratio: too much spinach and the dip can feel heavy, while too much cheese overpowers everything else. Getting that balance right gives you a rich, creamy dip with plenty of texture in every single bite.

whole chicken in slow cooker

Hi Reader, Slow-cooker whole chicken might just be the best dinner shortcut in my kitchen right now. I have been using my slow cooker a lot lately to see what actually turns out great and what really is not worth the hype, and this recipe easily made the cut. Whole chickens are such a staple because one bird stretches so far. You get tender, juicy meat with hardly any hands-on work, plus enough shredded chicken for tacos, quick salads, and easy dinners all week long. A simple spice rub and a...

cooked salmon in air fryer basket

Hi Reader, This air fryer salmon has been one of my most popular recipes for a while, and for good reason. Salmon in the air fryer is not only so easy to make, but the way the outside gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside juicy and flaky is pure magic. It comes together so fast, and it's so good over rice (y'all know I love some rice) with a side of vegetables.
