Monday

Butter Chicken Curry

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Make-ahead friendly: Marinate the chicken the day before to make on-the-day cooking a little simpler. The curry can be fully cooked and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and it freezes beautifully so I like to double the quantities so I have another dinner waiting in the freezer.
  • Add a side: Keep it simple and serve with steamed basmati rice or add a side of curry rice and naan for a delicious feast.

Tuesday

Cheesy Baked Meatballs

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Make-ahead friendly: The meatballs can be formed and kept covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. They also freeze very well uncooked so I like to make them, pop them in a freezer bag and freeze. On the day, let them thaw and proceed with the recipe as instructed.
  • Add a side: I love serving the meatballs over cooked pasta but it’s also delicious served with crusty bread, garlic bread or focaccia to swipe through the sauce. For a vegetable side, sautéed broccolini is go-to in our house.

Wednesday

Easy Baked Chicken Breast

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • So easy! Season and bake. Two steps and you’re guaranteed perfectly juicy, delicious chicken.
  • Versatile: Serve with tomato pasta, with rice and vegetables or in tacos. I love baking extra to keep on hand for easy lunches too!

Thursday

Mac and Cheese

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Comfort food, personified: This easy, classic baked Mac and cheese is the epitome of comfort food. Rich, creamy and indulgent, it’s a once-in-a-while treat we simply love. I love adding a layer of sliced tomatoes on top (like my mom used to) but that’s optional.
  • Add a side: To cut through the richness I like adding a lemony side salad.
