A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas


Hey, friend!

Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week we wrapped up our vacation and settled back into a regular summer routine at home. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayโ€™s roundup of Our Week in Meals.

Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog:โ€‹โ€‹

โ€‹Easy Shrimp Tacosโ€‹

The shrimp cook in just a few minutes, the homemade seasoning comes together from pantry staples, and a quick lime crema pulls everything together. Pile it all into warm tortillas with crunchy cabbage and a squeeze of lime, and you have a restaurant-quality weeknight dinner!

โ€‹Roasted Yellow Squashโ€‹

This crispy squash needs just 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep! Tender summer squash roasts under a layer of Parmesan, then a quick turn under the broiler crisps the top into a golden, caramelized finish.

โ€‹Easy Peach Galetteโ€‹

All of the flavor of a homemade peach pie with a fraction of the work! Made with fresh peaches and a store-bought pie crust, this rustic summer dessert comes together quickly and looks impressive enough for everything from weeknight suppers to backyard gatherings.

โ€‹Stuffed Zucchini Boatsโ€‹

Filled with seasoned ground beef, vegetables, tomato sauce, and plenty of cheese for an easy family dinner that's perfect during zucchini season!

โ€‹Bisquick Peach Cobblerโ€‹

One of the easiest desserts you'll ever make! With just a handful of pantry staples, about 10 minutes of prep, and your choice of fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, it's a simple family favorite that's perfect any time of year.

โ€‹German Potato Saladโ€‹

This one skips the mayo entirely! Tender red potatoes get tossed warm in a sweet and tangy bacon vinaigrette, so every bite soaks up that savory flavor. It is an easy, crowd-pleasing side for cookouts, potlucks, and Oktoberfest spreads.

โ€‹17 Boneless Pork Chop Recipesโ€‹

Boneless pork chops are a great weeknight protein! They cook quickly, they take well to almost any flavor direction, and they stretch a grocery budget without feeling like you're cutting corners.

These are the recipes I come back to when I want a juicy, tender chop on the table without a lot of fuss!

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:โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
