A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ๐ฅช๐ฐ๐ฎ
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included a lot of soccer games, summer-like temps, and easy weeknight suppers. 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 โEasy Beef Enchilada CasseroleโWith just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep, you've got a cheesy, saucy weeknight dinner the whole family will love!
โSouthern Chicken SaladโInspired by the best store-bought chicken salad from Yoder's, this Southern-style version is loaded with tender shredded chicken, sweet cranberries (or juicy grapes), crisp celery, and sliced almonds in a creamy, lightly sweet mayo dressing. It comes together in 15 minutes and only gets better as it sits.
โKentucky Hot Brown SlidersโA Derby Day staple (and honestly, a great weeknight dinner any time of year)! Sweet Hawaiian rolls are loaded with turkey, crispy bacon, and Gruyere, then covered in a garlic butter sauce and baked until golden and melty. They always disappear fast!
โEarthquake Cake (with Cake Mix)โThis dessert layers German chocolate cake mix over toasted coconut and pecans, then swirls a rich cream cheese mixture throughout. It tastes like a cross between a German chocolate cake and a chocolate chip cheesecake!
โGrilled SalmonโThere's no healthier, easier, or faster dinner than a perfect piece of grilled salmon. This 15-minute recipe has been a staple in our dinner rotation for years, and once you learn a few simple technique tips, you'll have flavorful, moist fillets with beautiful grill marks every single time.
โSouthern Macaroni SaladโWith elbow pasta, crisp vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, and a sweet-tangy mayonnaise dressing, this classic side dish is everything you want alongside your burgers and ribs.
