A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ๐ค๐๐ฐ
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included Easter, Spring Break, and lots of family time. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayโs roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are a few fresh ideas from the blog:โโ โLemon Garlic ShrimpโA 15-minute skillet dinner for busy nights! The shrimp sear quickly in a hot pan, then get tossed in a buttery sauce made with fresh lemon, honey, Dijon, and a splash of white vinegar. It's bright, a little rich, and seriously good over rice or pasta!
โCornbread SaladโA classic, crowd-pleasing side dish perfect for potlucks, cookouts, and holiday tables. Crumbled cornbread comes together with fresh veggies, smoky bacon, and cheddar cheese in a creamy mayonnaise dressing. It's simple, satisfying, and make-ahead friendly.
โDump-and-Bake Lemon ChickenโWith just a few minutes of prep, this baked lemon chicken delivers bright, fresh flavor and perfectly juicy meat every time. A simple sauce made with olive oil, white wine, garlic, and fresh herbs goes right into the baking dish with the chicken. No marinade, no searing, no extra steps. Just dump it all in and let the oven take it from there!
โItalian Love CakeโThis starts with a box of cake mix for an easy dessert that only looks fancy! With layers of moist chocolate cake, sweet ricotta filling, and a fluffy pudding frosting, it's the kind of special-occasion treat that always gets people asking for the recipe.
โ4-Ingredient Baked Ravioli CasseroleโFrozen ravioli goes straight from the bag to the dish, and thereโs no thawing or boiling required! Just layer, bake, and get ready for a cozy, crowd-pleasing meal that comes together on even the busiest weeknights.
โAunt Bee's Southern Shrimp Pasta SaladโFull of simple, fresh ingredients, this one has been a family favorite for decades! The creamy dill-lemon mayo dressing, tender pasta, sweet peas, and crunchy vegetables make it the perfect prep-ahead dish for cookouts, potlucks, or an easy summer dinner.
โSouthern Biscuit RecipesโI've spent years testing and tweaking biscuit recipes in my own kitchen, and I'm excited to share everything I've learned right here! Whether you're after a foolproof 3-ingredient batch, a slow-raised angel biscuit, or something a little unexpected like sweet potato or 7UP biscuits, you'll find your new favorite in this collection.
And since it's Sunday, it's time for Our Week in Meals! You can check out all of the highlights from our week and hopefully find some new dinner inspiration for your own meal plan. The full details are on the blog today:โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
