If you made the baked rigatoni last night and doubled the sauce, you’ve already done most of the prep for this one-pot spiced shrimp and rice dinner. Shake off the work/school week with some cozy comfort food. Recipes: One-Pot Spiced Shrimp and Rice, Vegetarian Three-Bean Chili, Super-Moist Yellow Cake, Mochi Cake If you roast a few extra sausages, you can slice them up for breakfast in the morning (or toss with pasta for lunch.) For the greens, Tuscan kale or collards work equally well. Case in point: this sausage and greens dinner requires just 15 minutes of hands-on prep, and you can use whatever kind of sausage your family prefers. Sheet-pan suppers also exist to ease the middle of your week. (Or use the cooked chicken instead of poached chicken breasts in this hearty sesame-scallion dressed salad.) Consider grabbing two chickens if you’re going to make pasta option two tomorrow. Not feeling the grain bowl? Use that chicken in this flexible salad template and let each person in the family assemble their own plate. Toasted sesame seeds are nice on top, but you could toast some walnuts or pine nuts to add instead. No chickpeas on hand? White beans like to get crispy too. Stop by the market for rotisserie chicken, put on a pot for quinoa or farro or rice, and take a can of chickpeas out of the pantry to toss in spices and oil and crisp up on the stovetop (or in the oven) for chicken grain bowls. So let’s make sure that dinner is a breeze. Let everyone go to town.Įven passionate home cooks can get to Wednesday and want to wave a white flag. Toss a drained can of white beans with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and whatever herbs or spices you like, pile into lettuce leaves or eat with a spoon. Set out cucumbers and/or carrots or bell peppers for dipping, your favorite hummus or lemony yogurt, and whatever other snacky foods are your go-tos: cheese, olives, bread, jammy eggs. Cut your cucumbers into spears and serve them alongside these simple 3-ingredient garlic herb chicken wings.Īnother valid Tuesday move? The no-cook snack dinner. If you need a break and a deep breath outside, though, consider firing up the grill. Consider doubling the recipe so you can have extra meatballs for stuffing pita the next day-or freeze some for a dinner down the line. The quick-cooking meatballs are juicy and flavorful, but the salad is the unsung star here, piled on a flourish of Greek yogurt. One favorite dinner: these easy sheet-pan pork meatballs with cucumber salad. Do your best to incorporate healthy choices into your day-vegetables, fruit, lean proteins, beans and legumes, and whole grains are always smart bets.Recipes: Pork Meatballs and Cucumber Salad, 3-Ingredient Garlic Herb Chicken WingsĪs the weather begins to warm, I find myself drawn to crunchy cucumbers-and there are so many ways to incorporate them into a simple meal.
