Effortless Dinner Ideas for Busy Cooks

Slow Cooker Magic

Toss together ingredients like chicken breasts, vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions), broth, and your favorite seasonings in a slow cooker. Set it on low and come home to a delicious and ready-to-eat meal

Sheet Pan Simplicity

Combine protein like salmon or sausages, chopped vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus), and a drizzle of olive oil and seasonings on a sheet pan.

Soup and Salad Synergy

Whip up a pot of your favorite soup, like tomato or lentil, while prepping a simple salad with mixed greens, chopped vegetables, and a light vinaigrette dressing.

Big Salads for Big Nights

Elevate a salad from side dish to main course by adding protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or hard-boiled eggs. Include chopped vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheese

Pasta Primavera Powerhouse

Cook your favorite pasta according to package directions. While it cooks, saute a medley of fresh seasonal vegetables (asparagus, peas, cherry tomatoes) in olive oil and garlic.

Power Bowl Perfection

Fill a bowl with brown rice or quinoa, roasted vegetables (sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower), chickpeas or lentils, a dollop of hummus or tahini sauce

Frozen Food Fusion

Frozen vegetables and pre-cooked proteins can be your weeknight warriors! Combine frozen stir-fry vegetables with cooked shrimp or tofu, add your favorite stir-fry sauce

Leftover Magic

Get creative with leftovers!  Repurpose leftover roasted chicken into a chicken salad sandwich or use leftover grilled steak in fajitas. Leftover cooked vegetables can be added to omelets

Breakfast for Dinner Fun

Scrambled eggs with chopped vegetables and cheese served alongside whole-wheat toast or pancakes is a surprisingly satisfying and quick dinner option.

The Power of Pantry Staples

Stock your pantry with canned beans, lentils, pasta, canned tomatoes, and rice. These staples can be transformed into countless quick and easy meals.
