7 Weeknight Recipes That Should Be in Your Rotation

This winter-friendly twist on pesto pasta is one of my go-to weeknight dinner recipes. I can get it on the table in 25 minutes max, and it’s a great way to sneak in some healthy greens.

A healthier version of the Chinese restaurant-style dish that is typically battered and deep-fried, this sweet and sour shrimp with broccoli is one of the easiest (and tastiest) suppers you can make.

These Vietnamese-style meatballs have that combination of fresh, bright, and pungent flavors that makes Vietnamese food so enticing. For a quick weeknight supper, wrap the meatballs in lettuce cups or serve them over rice.

Filled with spicy sausage, smoky scrambled eggs, cheese, and a bright, fresh avocado-tomato salsa, these burritos are not only easy to make, but also delicious any time of day. We especially love them for “brinner.”

This pan-seared salmon is Incredibly simple to prepare, has a beautiful golden exterior, and will taste like something you’d order at a restaurant.

These smoky, spicy Sloppy Joes — or “Sloppy Jenns” as we call them around here — are made entirely from scratch (read: no ketchup or mystery seasoning packets). Pile the beef onto toasted buns and serve with my Sweet & Tangy Citrus Slaw.

Loaded with Italian sausage, this baked ziti is similar to meat lasagna but without the fuss; easy enough for a weeknight but also special enough for company; and makes a great prep-ahead potluck dish.
