Best go-to easy dinner

It helps me to have a couple days with a set theme. We always do tacos on Tuesday, pizza on Fridays and my husband grills/smokes something on Sundays. So really I’m just planning Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
A favorite easy recipe that the entire family enjoys below! Honey mustard chicken

I love theme nights! Keeps my thoughts organized around planning and then we just swap out the protein, carb, veg, switch in new sauces, dips and seasonings to keep things not boring. Ie. Sunday: Italian (Chicken Alfredo - use rotisserie chicken, frozen broccoli, jarred sauce) Monday: Sheet pan - chicken sausage, variety of veggies and potatoes, toss in oo and pesto or a fun seasoning mix, switch it up and make it Mediterranean style with hummus and tzatziki for dipping, Tuesday: Tacos or quesadillas (use rest of rotessrie chicken) lots of toppings to mix and match, Wednesday: Asian stir fry with chicken or shrimp, mixed veg put over microwave jasmine rice jarred sauces, Thursday make your own pizza night or breakfast for dinner!

@WhiteElephant agree! Caro Chambers’s Substack (What to Cook) is also amazing. $5/month and well worth it. She has substitutions for EVERY ingredient and has tips for making recipes even shorter / easier.
