5 Delicious Dinners To Make On A Weeknight
One well-planned trip to the grocery store makes weeknight cooking so much easier.
Meal planning can be a pain — but it doesn't have to be.
We created five original recipes that are simple, delicious, and perfect for busy weeknights. Use the grocery list below to make the five dinner recipes in this post over the course of a week in whatever order you like. Your safest bet is to make them all within a week of grocery shopping to ensure that the ingredients stay fresh. It's not the biggest deal if you do it over the course of 10 days or so.
Keep your meat and fish in the freezer whether you cook this over a week or 10 days, but put it in the fridge two days before you plan to use it, so that it has time to defrost. Also, though the recipes call for lots of the same ingredients, no recipe calls for leftovers from another. So, you can cook them in any order.
Here's what's on the menu:

Certain key steps are photographed below each recipe to help make sure you’re on the right track.
