Easy Recipes

Opt for easy recipes to minimize stress and kitchen mishaps, making cooking accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels.

Here you will find easy dinner recipes for any weeknight that your whole family will love, such as Chicken Gyros, Cajun Shrimp, and one of my favorites Mediterranean Fish.

Savory weeknight dinner can be made quickly using casserole dishes, instant pots, and slow cookers.  Instant pots are a well-known brand of electric pressure cookers, and slow cookers can include crockpots, which are typically stoneware pots.

Reader favorite quick dinner ideas include these kid-friendly ground beef tacos, Hawaiian chicken in a casserole dish, baked sweet potato, and this main dish garlic butter pork chop recipe.

Easy chicken dinners that can be made gluten-free on a sheet pan include chicken breast and chicken thighs. Don't forget chicken salad, which can be eaten as leftovers with tortillas or sandwiches for lunch the next day!

Easy recipes can also include comfort food, such as buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer with tortilla chips, Italian spaghetti sauce, fajitas, and the reader's favorite moo goo gai pan, which is full of veggies.
