A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ππ₯©π₯¦
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included a birthday celebration, summer-like temps, and a rainy soccer tournament. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayβs roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog:ββ βGarlic Butter SalmonβGolden and crispy on the outside, tender and buttery inside, with a rich garlic sauce you'll want to spoon over everything. It's on the table in 25 minutes and made entirely in one skillet!
βSlow Cooker BBQ Beef SandwichesβTender, saucy, and full of smoky-sweet flavor, this bbq comes together with just 5 minutes of hands-on prep. A simple chuck roast simmers all day in barbecue sauce until it's fall-apart tender and ready to pile high on sandwich buns.
βGarlic Roasted BroccoliβCrispy on the edges, tender in the stem, and packed with caramelized garlic flavor, this is the simple vegetable side dish your weeknight dinner has been missing! It takes about 25 minutes and just a handful of ingredients you already have on hand.
βRoasted Lemon ChickenβBone-in, skin-on chicken roasts on a bed of fresh lemon slices, garlic, and herbs. The skin comes out golden and crispy, the meat stays tender and juicy, and the whole thing comes together with about 10 minutes of prep.
βRed Wine Vinegar Salad DressingβSix pantry ingredients, one whisk, and five minutes is all it takes to make a homemade dressing that's better than anything you'll find in a bottle!
βHot Dog ChiliβThis easy sauce is sweet, tangy, and zesty, with ground beef, tomato sauce, and warm spices simmered into the perfect topping for chili dogs. It's ready in under an hour and freezes beautifully, which makes it a go-to for tailgates, cookouts, and Memorial Day weekend!
βSouthern Cookout Side DishesβThese 26 sides are the ones that show up year after year, summer after summer, at most backyard gatherings, church picnics, and Fourth of July spreads!
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:ββββββββββββββ

Hey there, A good marinade is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to anything you're grilling. Five minutes of prep the night before, and dinner the next day tastes like you put in a lot more effort than you did. Here's a marinade for every protein you're likely to put on the grill this summer. Steak, chicken, pork, shrimp, and a little something for the veggies too. STEAK THE MVP London Broil Marinade A balance of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and herbs that turns an affordable cut into...

Hey, friend. Most people pack the slow cooker away around Memorial Day and pull it back out when soup season hits...but I'd argue June is when it earns its keep! Today Iβve pulled together six sandwich dinners that all start in the slow cooker and end on a bun. The kitchen stays cool, dinner is essentially done by lunchtime, and everybody is happy at the table. THE CLASSIC Slow Cooker Pulled Pork A pork shoulder, a simple rub, and eight hours in the slow cooker. The kind of pulled pork that...
