A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ๐ฅช๐ฐ๐ฎ
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included lots of time on soccer sidelines, bright spring color, and a charming book. 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 โKey Lime CakeโThis easy dessert starts with a box of white cake mix and lime Jell-O and comes together with about 15 minutes of hands-on time. The result is a moist, bright Bundt cake with real citrus flavor in every bite!
โDump-and-Bake Pesto Alfredo Chicken PastaโYou don't even have to boil the pasta! This easy dish combines two of the best pasta sauces in one easy casserole: basil pesto and rich Alfredo, with tender chicken, fresh spinach, and juicy tomatoes. With just 10 minutes of prep and one dish to wash, it's the kind of weeknight dinner my whole family loves.
โDump-and-Bake Chicken Fajita CasseroleโAll the bold, zesty flavor of chicken fajitas, baked into one easy dish with rice, colorful bell peppers, and melty cheddar cheese. You don't even need to pre-cook the rice or the vegetables. Stir everything together, cover it tightly, and the oven does the rest!
โ4-Ingredient Baked TortelliniโWith just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep, this baked tortellini goes straight from the freezer to the oven with no boiling or thawing required.
โPasta with Sausage and SpinachโA hearty, satisfying dinner that comes together on the stovetop in about 30 minutes! Zesty Italian sausage, fresh spinach, garlic, lemon, and plenty of Parmesan cheese make every bite rich and flavorful.
โDump-and-Bake Beef Stroganoff CasseroleโJust stir everything into one dish (uncooked noodles included) and let the oven do the work. It's my lazy-day take on the comfort food I grew up eating, and it comes together with about 10 minutes of prep.
โ20 Easy Bundt Cake RecipesโWhether you're after a rich chocolate bundt, a bright lemon glaze cake, a classic Southern pound cake, or something with a little seasonal flair, there's a recipe here that fits. Several start with a box of cake mix, and every single one of them is worth making!
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
