A+ dinner ideas for your C+ motivation level

Use these go-to quick recipes to keep flavor in your life, even when you're busy.


Hi reader,

We getttttt it, friend. Sometimes (um, most times), you've had a long day, work was a beast — and then your stomach starts rumbling. So, takeout or a box of crackers on the couch, maybe?

You want something delicious, but you don't wanna have to work that hard to make it. Oh, same. We hear you.

Save these recipes in your back pocket (or your bookmarks, let's be honest — no one keeps anything in their back pocket…) for the next time you need a weeknight meal but your motivation is at a standstill.

All of these recipes include minimal ingredients and minimal chopping — but maximum flavor.

Serving up meals for kids? We've included an asterisk* for the recipes we think they'll love too.
