Dinner Recap
Week 6
Welcome to week 6 of the Dinner Recap!
Winner of the week: Cheesesteak Sliders
These were a big hit with my family—especially my husband and teenage boys! Super quick to throw together on the Blackstone, but you could easily make them in a regular pan too. I did half with shredded mozzarella and half with American cheese, and the American cheese totally won everyone over!
Chicken and Mozzarella Pasta:
If you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner the kids will actually get excited about, this one’s a winner! It uses ingredients I pretty much always have on hand—and it’s full of things my kids already love. It pairs well with just about any veggie or even a simple salad, but around here, roasted broccoli loaded with parmesan is the go-to side!
Smothered Pork Chops
I’m not usually a big pork person, but I devoured these! Pork is one of the most budget-friendly cuts of meat out there, and this recipe totally made me a fan. I get my chops from Whole Foods—they’re super thick, so I sliced each one in half to make thinner cutlets. The gravy was so good! I served them with simple roasted potatoes, but mashed potatoes would be amazing with this too. Definitely making this one again!
Teriyaki Sheet Pan Chicken:
If you’ve been following along, you know I’m all about a good sheet pan dinner—and this one did not disappoint! I just grabbed whatever veggies I had in the fridge, tossed them on a big sheet tray with the chicken, and popped it all in the oven. Paired it with rice from the rice cooker, and dinner seriously couldn’t have been easier!
Chicken Fajitas:
I threw these together on Sunday night using whatever I had left in the fridge. I had two packs of chicken thighs, a bag of peppers, and a couple of ripe avocados—perfect for a quick fajita night. I always have taco shells on hand, so this was an easy choice. They come together fast, and my kids love anything in taco form!
Thanks for being here! I’ll be back next week with more easy, family approved dinner ideas!
