Back-to-School Dinners

I am all about a simple skillet dinner, especially as the weeknights start to get busier with back-to-school upon us. On nights when I need to get dinner on the table quickly, I love turning to this recipe that is not only simple to make but also requires only a few fresh ingredients.

If you are on the hunt for a super delicious and easy family-friendly weeknight meal, look no further than this easy Skillet Enchilada Chicken. 

This already simple pasta just got even easier with my Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi!

This Tie-Dye Chicken is an absolute hit around my family table and I know it will be around yours! All the flavors of a delicious pesto pizza in a nourishing chicken skillet — what more could you want?

These Pesto Unstuffed Shells are all the cheesy goodness you can imagine! Perfect for when you need a simple, comforting dinner.

Meet Sloppy Jane, Sloppy Joe’s super fit and sexy wife. HA!  But seriously, a fun twist on the old classic, this dish is super filling and absolutely delicious!

If you’ve never roasted a whole chicken before, it can be a bit intimidating but really, it’s one of the easiest and most delicious weeknight meals to throw together and feed a hungry family!

Here is a healthier take on fish sticks made simply and deliciously! This dish is something I started making for my kiddos when they were younger and something that I still whip up for them regularly. Not only do my kiddos love them, so do Clayton and I! I mean, what is not to love about crispy pan-fried salmon?!

You can serve these however you like. Over pasta, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or I even love them solo with a big Whole30 Caesar salad on the side. 

My favorite way of cooking this is low and slow in the oven all afternoon in a dutch oven. It just really makes the flavor absolutely perfect; however, you can certainly do this in your crockpot if that’s your preferred method of cooking or if you want to throw it in before work and come home to dinner ready-to-eat! 

I am proud of all the recipes that I share here. But there are just some that I am more proud of. These Paleo Battered Fish Tacos? I am VERY PROUD OF. 

My husband didn’t believe me when I told him it was a Whole30 version because you can barely tell the difference! *applause* I should also mention that my picky then 4-year-old and then 1-year-old enjoyed it as much as we did! No lie!

No, it’s not dairy-free or grain-free, but it’s certainly a cleaner version of our childhood favorite! This One-Pot Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff is perfect for some comfort food that the entire family will devour and I just know that you all are going to love this one!
