A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas πππ₯
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included soccer games, spring planting, and Mother's Day. 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 βSouthern-Style Potato SaladβCreamy and tangy, with hard-boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish, and a hint of yellow mustard, it hits every note of the classic you grew up with. Make it the day before and it's even better by the time it hits the table!
βBaked BBQ Chicken BreastβBone-in, skin-on chicken breasts get a homemade BBQ rub, a glaze of sweet and zesty sauce, and a hot oven. The result is crispy skin and juicy, tender meat, with just 5 minutes of hands-on prep.
βVinegar ColeslawβSweet, tangy, and full of crisp vegetables, this coleslaw skips the mayo and delivers all the flavor. It's a classic Southern slaw with a bold vinegar dressing.
βHoney Lemon Fruit Salad DressingβA simple 3-ingredient syrup that glazes fresh berries with bright citrus flavor. It comes together in about 5 minutes, and works just as well at a summer cookout as it does on a holiday brunch table!
βThe Best Chicken SaladβYour search for the best chicken salad recipe stops here! The simple, creamy combination of tender rotisserie chicken, bright green onions, and a handful of pantry seasonings comes together in about 10 minutes.
βDill Roasted PotatoesβCrispy and golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of savory garlic and fresh herb flavor, these potatoes are the side dish that goes with just about everything!
βPan Fried CatfishβA Southern classic made simple! With pantry staples, a hot skillet, and about 20 minutes, you'll have a crispy, golden dinner the whole family will love. No deep fryer required!
βDump-and-Bake Italian Sausage and Rice CasseroleβItalian sausage, bell peppers, onion, and rice bake together in a creamy mushroom sauce for a complete dinner in one dish.
βPotluck RecipesβIf you're invited to a potluck or picnic this season, these are the recipes that you need in your back pocket! From mains to sides, salads, and desserts, this collection offers a perfect dish for any spot at the table.
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.

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...
