9 Dinner Recipes To Make This Week!

Published 14 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

"What’s for dinner?" The age-old question that haunts us all. But fear not...I’ve got a stash of easy, delicious, and healthy main dishes and sides for you. No more staring into the fridge like it’s suddenly going to cook dinner for you (though that would be really nice).

Main Dishes

  1. ​One-Pot Chicken Sausage & Bean Ragout - One reader said, "Another winner. Just an incredibly good tasting dish. It’s also good over cauliflower rice for fewer carbs. Had some steamed green peas on the side which we eventually just added into the mix. So good!"
  2. ​Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Peanut Sauce - A great meatless option.
  3. ​Baked Cod with Panko Breadcrumbs - Quick & easy!.
  4. ​Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with Chicken - This turned my son into a spaghetti squash fan.
  5. ​Instant Pot Chicken Stew with Farro - A long-time family favorite. One reader said, "Tons of flavor for minimal effort...and healthy too! Great recipe if you want chicken that tears apart easily and don't want to cook a separate carb on the side." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    ​

Side Dishes

  1. ​Sautéed Asparagus with Garlic Breadcrumbs - Asparagus season is here! This easy side is a staple in our house.
  2. ​Greek Salad Dressing - Make a double batch and use it all week long.
  3. ​Caramelized Onion & Spinach Olive Oil Quick Bread - This unique savory quick bread is ideal for serving with soups and salads.
  4. ​Rosemary Mashed Potatoes - Infused with garlic & rosemary. Anytime of the year is a good time for mashed potatoes, IMO!

Soup with beans, sweet potato and quinoa with a ladle.

Hi Reader! I love it when a reader's review gives a little view into their life. This reader made my Slow Cooker Bean Soup with Sweet Potato and said, "We were looking for something to prepare in the crockpot to eat after we got home from apple picking. This soup was it and everyone came back for second helpings." Now I want to go apple picking! Marking it on my calendar for the fall.
