Too Busy to Cook? I’ve Got You Covered with These Easy Recipes

Hey Reader,

It's summer, and I keep waiting for my schedule to slow down, but it's just not happening. I need something I can pull together quickly, clean up fast, and actually want to eat.

It sounds like a tall order some nights, right?

These are simple meals I can whip up quickly - or have my kids make because they're so easy! - when I just don't have the time or energy to spend more than a half hour or so on dinner.

Go-To Dinners When I Don’t Feel Like Cooking

I love dinners I can set and forget, and this is where a good Shredded BBQ Chicken comes in. It cooks without me babysitting it, then I shred it to use in sandwiches, bowls, or even on salads.

​Poached Orange Salmon takes under 15 minutes to make, and it's a fun change to the usual ways I make salmon. It feels like a nice dinner, but it's so simple that it's almost dump-and-go.

I love making tacos, but we always add a few ingredients to the meat, and it makes such a difference. The honey and habanero balance each other out so every bite hits sweet first, then spicy after. Honey Habanero Tacos will be your favorite, too.

​Cacio e Pepe takes four ingredients. I can make it in about 15 minutes, even including the time it takes to boil the water, and it always surprises me how good simple dishes can be.

These recipes help you get a good meal on the table without overthinking it. Which one are you making first this week?
