Weeknight Dinners!
21
items I love cooking. It is one of my favorite things to do, which is great, because one of my husbands favorite things to do is to eat. I have personally tried every recipe on this list, and I have them all saved as “Tried and True!”
Ground chicken is such a cheap, versatile protein! I love using it in different ways. This chicken meatloaf is DELICIOUS (so much so that my husband and I ate the entire thing in one sitting the first time I made it).
Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf
Very simple, easy recipe that packs a ton of flavor! I love getting fruits and vegetables in during dinner, not only because of the nutrients, but because it bulks it up to make it stretch farther!
Pineapple Chicken and Rice
This is a recipe that, I won't lie, is not the prettiest in the world. It might not be “company worthy”, but it is DELICIOUS. High in fiber and with decent protein, this is a very filling and VERY budget friendly meal!
Cowboy Cornbread Casserole
One of the EASIEST twists on a more difficult recipe! I love making this with a rotisserie chicken. It makes for a very cheap, very easy, and very quick dinner that makes a TON.
Easy Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
I love an easy, low ingredient recipe. These pork chops require only 4 ingredients. They are quick to throw together, quick to bake, and you will have dinner on the table quick!
French Onion Smothered Pork Chops
YUM. This is so delicious, makes a ton, and it is so easy to throw together! They are very filling, and makes quite a few (you can make a few more than the recipe says it can).
Smothered Beef & Bean Burrito Bake
I love a nice, low-carb recipe when you are trying to cute calories! Nothing wrong with bread, but sometimes I want to have a little less carbs for the day. These are great, and just another way to get your veggies in!
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
This is such an easy sheet pan recipe! I love sheet pan recipes to get dinner on the table fast. Very little prep, short cook time….perfect for a night you need to eat quick!
Pierogy & Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner
One of my FAVORITE recipes of all time. I love recipes that are in one pot, and this is one of them! Low ingredient, and packs quite a delicious flavor. I love making this on a night you just want a cozy bowl.
Taco Rice
This is such a fun recipe! It comes together fairly quickly, and also looks pretty! It is perfect if you want to impress, and perfect for a get together. Also very tasty!!
Taco Crescent Ring
One of my husbands favorite recipes. This makes a TON of food, and it is the definition of COMFORT FOOD. Cozy and comforting, perfect with a side of green beans :)
Classic Chicken and Rice Casserole
Another great 5 ingredient recipe! I love love love recipes that have low ingredients, because they usually are extremely budget friendly! This recipe is no different. 5 simple ingredients and a pound of pasta….great!
Taco Pasta Casserole
A great, simple pasta to make. It is very tasty, and makes a lot. I love pasta dishes when you need to feed a lot of people, or want a bunch of leftovers. This pairs great with chicken sausage or chicken meatballs!
Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta
YUM. Another great low ingredient, tasty recipe! This is another great comfort meal, and it is so warm and cozy on a winter day.
Easy Cheesy Baked Tortellini
So much pasta, so little time!! This is a (very unhealthy) recipe that is DELICIOUS. It is definitley not the healthiest, but for a comfort meal?? Amazing!
Creamy Rotel Sausage Pasta
Another sheet pan meal!! And I love sheet pan meals! A few simple ingredients, and very tasty!
Sheet Pan Broccoli Tortellini Bake
YUM. This pasta truly makes SO MUCH FOOD. And, it has zucchini and tomatoes, so it adds in some vegetables to help with the nutrients. I love making this when my garden explodes, and theres an overload of harvest!
Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Zucchini
A very simple and tasty dinner! Vegetables, chicken sausage and orzo make this a well rounded dinner that hits a lot of nutrient goals. Throw in a couple other veggies to add even more nutrients!
Italian Chicken Sausage, Spinach and Orzo Skillet
This is such a fun recipe! It is a nice twist on a traditional lasagna. It packs a lot of flavor, some vegetables, and stretches a far way!
Mexican Lasagna
Creamy and delicious! This is another great comfort meal. I love the creaminess and the cheesiness of everything.
Creamy Tortellini with Spinach & Tomatoes
Don't knock it until you try it! This is delicious and healthy. I love when you can swap some things to make an unhealthy food a little healthier. Lentils are a delicious add-in that are often overlooked.
