Monday

Baked Lemon Chicken and Rice

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Easy to make. All in one pan and in less than an hour? Yes please!
  • Great with a variety of side dishes. Serve as is for an easy, no-fuss dinner or add a big side salad or some broccoli.
  • Great for leftovers. The leftovers make a delicious lunch the next day!

Tuesday

Easy Lasagna Soup

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Easy to make. This recipe is basically just an extra saucy bolognese sauce with pasta cooked right in the sauce. Great to use up leftover bolognese!
  • Customizable. I love this recipe with broccoli as it’s a vegetable I often have in the fridge. This pasta would be delicious with asparagus, peas, mushrooms, etc. Add baked chicken breasts for a boost of protein.

Wednesday

Baked Risotto with Garlic Butter Mushrooms

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • So easy. None of the stirring for ages and ready in 40 minutes!
  • Versatile. Great as a vegetarian main or as a fantastic side dish for steak or roast chicken.
  • Perfect result, every time. The risotto turns out perfectly al dente and creamy, guaranteed!

Thursday

Air Fryer Orange Chicken

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Cooking method: The air fryer makes this recipe a little healthier (no deep-frying) but you can absolutely fry the chicken too. Follow my Classic Orange Chicken if you prefer a fried version.
  • Takeout Fakeout. There’s nothing better than a better-than-take-out dinner at home.

Friday

Smashed Burger Tacos

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Quick and easy: Season the beef, smash onto tortillas and cook. This is an idiot-proof recipe!
  • Prep ahead: The tacos can be assembled, stacked with parchment paper and refrigerated for a few hours ahead of cooking.
