6 Easy Weeknight Meals




For most of us, weeknights are the busiest nights, and it can be hard to get something homemade and delicious on the table. Rather than resorting to frozen lasagna again, try giving one of these recipes a whirl.

With just a little bit of advance planning, you’ll have a satisfying one-pot dish (or an entrée plus a side) ready to serve in about half an hour.

Yum! Now, who’s doing the dishes…?

Lemon Chicken Dinner Skillet >

This recipe from Cooking Light via MyRecipes is an easy one-pot dinner solution that can be prepared in about 30 minutes.

Made with potatoes, chicken, mushrooms and green beans, all of your basic food groups are covered, with added lemon and fresh herbs for flavor.

Ravioli With Sage-Walnut Butter >

Have a pot of ravioli on the boil, but you’re out of sauce? Take plain buttered ravioli to the next level with this simple sage and walnut butter concoction, topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.


Serve this delicious dish (courtesy of the Food Network) with a green salad and dinner’s ready.

Thai Pork & Noodles >

If you can find the time to prep the veggies earlier in the week (like as soon as you get them home from the grocery store) this tasty dish from the Food Network can be thrown together in just 15 minutes.


It’s big on flavor, made with a combination of ginger, garlic, jalapenos, fish sauce, lime juice, cilantro and shallots.

Gnocchi With Bacon & Escarole >

My mouth was watering when I first came upon this recipe from the Food Network and I can’t wait to try it out in my own kitchen. I love escarole (I’ve always been a fan of my grandma’s Italian wedding soup, which features this bitter green) but I rarely find an opportunity to cook with it. Now I have one, and you do, too!

Best of all, this dish takes just 10 minutes of prep time. And did I mention that it’s made with bacon? Everything’s better with bacon.

Fake-Baked Ziti >

Though baked ziti seems like a pretty easy dish, it usually takes a loooong time to prepare. Fake your way to baked ziti in just 30-ish minutes (okay, about 20 to prep and 25 to cook) with this recipe from Rachel Ray.

Get your partner and the kids to help (to cut down on the prep time) and make the included recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Salad for a nutrient-rich side dish.

Pork Chops with Pear Chutney >

My husband and I love pork chops. But we sometimes find ourselves getting into a rut since we also love serving them with sauerkraut and chunks of apple, over and over again.


If you’re like us and you’re looking to try something different for a change, these pork chops are for you – and they can be made in just 30 minutes!

I would probably serve them with a side of egg noodles, tossed with quickly sautéed kale and a touch of garlic.
