Top 10 Weeknight Recipes

Top 10 Weeknight Recipes

Posted by Molly Duncan on

It's that time again. The work/school day has come and gone, and it's time to put dinner together. And while we believe that every meal should be treated with the respect it deserves (#makemealsmemories), sometimes a kitchen-island dinner is all we can muster. And while some nights are easy (all hail the frozen pizza + tossed salad combo), at least once a week I run into a rut and can not for the life of me figure out what to make. I have a feeling I'm not alone in this, so I thought I'd share a list of my top 10 favorite weeknight recipes for you to refer to when you find yourself in that "what's-for-dinner" rut! xL 

Baked Mongolian Beef Meatballs

This simple and easy recipe is a crowd favorite. Nothing beats a meatball, am I right? Plus it takes 10 minutes of prep, with things you probably already have in your pantry, and then voilà, you're done!

Easy Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

Nothing beats a warm bowl of tortilla soup, and this recipe tops them all. Cold day, rainy day, sick day, sunny day, it's sure to make any day better. Just look at that cheesiness!

Everyone loves a good pasta dish, and this roasted tomato recipe is the best! A little roast of the tomato, boiling of the pasta and this dish is ready to go!

Skillet Lemon and Dill Chicken

25 mins! 25 mins is all it takes! This is a super easy and delicious weeknight meal. In fact it's so good you might want to make it on the weekend!

Chopped Chicken Cabbage Wraps

This cabbage wrap recipe is one the best! It's made with such simple ingredients, but boy is it flavorful! While it's best during warmer seasons, it's so easy and so tasty that we have it year round. 

Cheesy Zucchini Chicken and Rice Bake

The best part of this recipe is that it just uses one pot and is ready in under an hour! Plus, it has a layer of crunchy cheese on top and what's not to love about that?

Healthier Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme

While a wrap is good, a loaded crunchwrap is just better. A twist on the famous fast food cuisine, this healthier recipe is everyone's favorite. 

Chinese Chicken and Broccoli

The classic American Chinese chicken and broccoli turned Whole-30 approved, count me in! The brown sauce in this recipe is also to die for, it's as rich and flavorful as it gets. 

Slow Baked Citrus Salmon with Fennel & Herbs

This recipe is special because instead of doing a quick broil with high heat, you do a slow broil with low heat making the most tender and flaky salmon you've ever had! And it still takes less 30 minutes to cook!

Sheet Pan Pizza

I couldn't finish off this list without a pizza recipe! This sheet pan pizza is everything we want a weeknight recipe to be... easy, simple and TASTY! I hope you found this list helpful, and let me know if you have any weeknight recipes I need to know about!
