![]() Cafe Rio pork salads or burritos (don't forget the delicious Cafe Rio rice!).Paninis ( turkey leftovers are always a fan favorite!).It's so much cheaper than grabbing take-out on those busy nights! Pro Tip: A lot of these dinner ideas freeze really well! We always suggest to double or triple what you're making and freeze it for an easy weeknight dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs (with homemade spaghetti sauce, of course!).Homemade mac ‘n cheese (don't forget the delicious mac and cheese add-ins!).Pro Tip: You can turn pretty much anything into soup! Leftover meat, limp veggies, random pasta… Build your own soup and it'll make the best that you've ever had! Corn chowder (various recipes, ham & corn chowder is good too).Chicken noodle soup (homemade…serve with grilled cheese).Pro Tip: Pre-cook some chicken breasts, shred it in your stand mixer, and freeze it in meal-sized portions! It'll make dinner prep that much easier. ![]() ![]() Breaded chicken (can bread with Italian bread crumbs, graham crackers, saltines, potato chips).Chicken cordon bleu (easier than you would think, and so impressive! Great for guests.).Pro Tip: Learn to love your leftovers by taking pretty much any leftover meat and turning it into a casserole! It'll bring a whole new meaning to your weekly leftovers night when you dress it up into something else. Chicken pot pie (easier than you think!).It's not only cheaper, but it teaches your family healthy habits and keeps you close as a family! While I am sometimes bad at planning ahead for dinner, I firmly believe it's important to cook for your family rather than eating out or preparing processed meals. That way you never have to say, “Now, where was that awesome chicken recipe again?….” If the recipe comes from a cookbook, photocopy it and keep it in the binder. I also keep all of my favorite recipes in one place, like my recipe binder! Print our your best Pinterest recipes and keep them together where you can easily find them. You can even separate meal types based on the main ingredient, meals that can be frozen, how they are cooked ( crockpot, baked, grilled, etc.), meals good enough to serve guests, etc. It's also a great way to come up with uses for leftovers. This is SUPER DUPER helpful in terms of coming up with a variety of meals that can be made with things I typically have on-hand. I keep a big list of dinner ideas by or on my fridge. ![]() Powered by the ESHA Research Database © 2018, ESHA Research, Inc.You ready for it? It's so easy.
