Tuesday

If you want a dish with lots of sauce, look no further than this Butter Chicken recipe! You will need flatbread to soak up every bit of the sauce.

Wednesday

My recipe for Tortellini Alfredo is made for busy parents. I always have a bag of tortellini in my fridge, so when my schedule is full for the day, I know I can make dinner in 20 minutes!

Thursday

The Instant Pot is almost always on my counter, and today, I use it to make a delicious Beef and Broccoli dish! The leftovers are fantastic too!

Friday

This 6-ingredient dinner is one of the fastest you can make this week! The Honey Garlic Shrimp are so flavorful. Not a fan of shrimp, use chicken instead!

Saturday

Let’s slow down a little bit this weekend, turn some music on, and cook delicious food! Starting with the Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches. Simply delicious!

Sunday

Finishing the weekend off with a fancy-looking salmon dish? Yes, please! The Dijon Salmon and Potatoes are baked in the oven on one sheet. Simple dish and minimal clean up is the theme!
