I feel like I’ve said to myself more than once in the last week, “can something just be easy!? Just one thing? Come on!”

Well, I can’t fix everything but I can bring you a bunch of 30 minute or less dinner recipes to one spot. Bookmark this one for easy access.

Pizza Toast

Chicken Roll Ups

Easy and quick dinner recipe! Chicken rollups are filled with chicken, spinach and mushrooms. Perfect for busy nights and picky kids.

Sheet Pan Fajitas

Grab your chicken, peppers and onions and start dinner. Easy!

BBQ Chicken French Bread Pizza

Sweet barbecue sauce with melty mozzarella and some tart red onion. Annnd maybe even more melty mozzarella. I love mozzarella.

Baked Spaghetti

Spaghetti but thrown in a casserole and baked. And who doesn’t love egg noodles? Add some garlic bread and broccoli and you have yourself a nice little dinner.

Bang Bang Shrimp

If you’ve had Bang Bang Shrimp before, then you know. You just know. It’s SO good! I had it last week and couldn’t stop thinking about it afterwards. I could eat an entire appetizer by myself.

Quick Ramen Noodle Stir Fry

This is one of those dishes that seems complicated but in reality, it took me 15 minutes and I was doing other things at the same time, so probably wouldn’t even take that long. It is so good, so addicting and so easy. We had none left and I was contemplating making another batch just to have leftovers.

Garlic Chicken Bites

Easy recipe for chicken that will become a new staple in your house! Perfect for meal plans or a quick dinner.

Sheet Pan Nachos

Does anyone ever turn down nachos? Nope, didn’t think so. They are amazing, that’s why. We love them so much in our house, that we probably have them once a week. I ain’t mad at it either because it’s easy and mama likes easy.

Sheet Pan Pork Chops

The mix of brown sugar with garlic and salt is the perfect combo of a little sweet and a little salty. The brown sugar also gets a little caramelized which I personally LOVE. Also, don’t let that sticky sauce that ends up on the sheet pan go to waste. Make sure to dip that pork and veggies in that stuff. Oh man, it’s so good!!

Baked Chicken Tacos

We love these Baked Chicken Tacos in our house! Super easy dinner idea for those busy nights. Simple ingredients, quick to make and so yummy! Homemade taco seasoning, chicken taco shells and lots of cheese!

Grandma’s Mac and Cheese

My Grandma’s recipe for classic Mac and Cheese that I grew up eating as a kid and will make forever. Nothing fancy in this one, just lots of love and memories.

Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken

Easy and quick Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken is a perfect weeknight meal. Sweet and savory chicken on top of a bed of rice or noodles or next to a big pile of veggies. So good and the Instant Pot makes this super easy.

Instant Pot Lemon Chicken

Easy and delicious dinner that will have your family asking to keep this one in the rotation. Instant Pot Lemon Chicken is simple and quick, perfect for those busy nights.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

This is an Egg Roll in a Bowl and it’s basically just the insides of an egg roll without the fried wrapper. I like to add the wonton strips to the top so I guess not totally without something fried. Still, better than the actual egg roll. Balance people, balance.

Baked Ravioli

I have no idea when I started making this, but this ravioli dish has become a staple in our house and now my extended family too. So hopefully your family will love it as much as ours does.

Salmon with Spinach Cream Sauce

Salmon and a rich spinach sauce. Easy and quick meal, not much prep time and not much cook time.

Lo Mein

Quick and super easy Lo Mein is such a favorite dinner of ours during the week. I love the variety of this recipe because you can make it vegetarian, add a lot of different veggies or add chicken or shrimp to add some protein. It comes together quick, basically throw everything in the pan and cook. My kind of dinner.

Creamy Beef and Shells

Creamy Beef and Shells is an easy and delicious dinner your whole family will love. One pan, a creamy sauce and comes together quickly. You need to add this to your weeknight dinner rotation.

Sweet Potato and Spinach Skillet

This is a perfect mix of healthy veggies and lean protein plus a little cheese…okay maybe a lot. So easy to make and a great meal to make for meal plans.
