Hey Reader!

I’ve lived a lot of weeknights where dinner needed to be on the table fast, and I think you've all had days like that too! Easy weeknight options that are full of flavor but don’t require much cook time are lifesavers.

If you need some meal inspo for the week, then these 30-minute dinners have you covered!

Quick Weeknight Dinners

​Pasta Carbonara​

Tender noodles tossed in a rich, silky sauce made with eggs and Parmesan cheese then sprinkled with smokey bacon.

​Marry Me Chicken​

Juicy chicken cooked in a creamy, rich, and savory sauce is an impressive one-pan dish!

​BBQ Chicken Salad​

Ideal for busy weeknights or a light lunch, this easy-to-make salad is a fresh and healthy way to enjoy all the bold flavors of BBQ.

​Stovetop Cheese Tortellini​

Crazy delicious and simple to make and customize with the addition of veggies, leftover or rotisserie chicken, shrimp, or beef.

​Salmon Sandwich​

This fresh sandwich made with crispy, flaky salmon, a buttery toasted bun, and tangy tartar sauce comes together in minutes.

​Baked Stromboli​

Packed with bold flavors of sausage, pepperoni, and melted cheese rolled in a flakey pizza crust!

​Sausage Frittata​

Not only is this an amazing and nutritious quick dinner idea, it's also perfect for using up any leftovers you have hanging out in your fridge!

​Hamburger Steak​

Juicy beef, onions, and mushrooms roast together for a Southern comfort food favorite that's like Salisbury steak, but better!

​Our Latest Midweek Menu​

We are making a steakhouse feast at home with a strawberry spinach salad, London broil, twice-baked potatoes and crock pot creamed corn!

Big Batch Bourbon Arnold Palmer

Hey Reader! It started as something I threw together for a backyard cookout. One pitcher. Gone in twenty minutes. Now it is the thing everyone asks me to bring. This Big Batch Bourbon Arnold Palmer is made with real homemade lemonade, cold Southern sweet tea, and your favorite bourbon. The best part — you make the whole pitcher the night before and just pour over ice when guests arrive. Set the bourbon on the side and let everyone pour their own. Trust me on that one.
