A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ๐บ๐ธ๐ฝ๐ ๐
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included a European vacation and a unique 4th of July. 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 some fresh ideas from the blog:โโ โEasy Skillet Lemon ChickenโTender chicken cutlets get a quick sear, and then a buttery lemon, herb, and white wine pan sauce comes together right in the same skillet!
โOkra and TomatoesโA classic Southern dish made with garden-fresh or frozen veggies, bacon, sweet onion, and a splash of cider vinegar. Serve it as a side with cornbread and fried chicken, or spoon it over rice for a light supper.
โDorito Taco SaladโOne of those retro recipes that never goes out of style! Loaded with seasoned ground beef, crunchy Doritos, fresh veggies, cheese, and tangy dressing, it's an easy family dinner and a guaranteed hit at potlucks, cookouts, and church suppers.
โCreamy Corn SaladโSweet corn, crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and a light-yet-creamy dressing come together in this easy salad. It's a perfect make-ahead side dish for the season!
โEasy Potato SaladโMy grandmother's recipe has been a staple at our summer cookouts for three generations (and you only need 5 ingredients)!
โJiffy Mix Peach CobblerโThis easy dessert combines sweet, juicy peaches with a buttery cornmeal topping for a classic Southern dessert!
โFranks and BeansโAn old-fashioned comfort food favorite that combines hot dogs and pork and beans in a sweet, smoky, tangy sauce. Made with simple pantry staples and about 10 minutes of prep, it's an easy family dinner or budget-friendly cookout side dish that always disappears fast!
โ7-Layer Bean DipโWith layers of refried beans, guacamole, taco-seasoned sour cream, cheese, and fresh toppings, my mother-in-law's go-to party dip is always a hit!
โ20+ Easy Summer Squash RecipesโHere are 20 of my favorite ways to enjoy bountiful summer squash, from crispy roasted yellow squash on the side to a cheesy zucchini casserole, a moist loaf of zucchini bread, and plenty in between.
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
