This week’s weeknight dinner recipes are going to make for easy meals and satisfied eaters.
Including me — I can’t wait for these!
Here’s what we’re cooking for dinner.
August 15 Minute Dinners
We’re beginning the week with a super simple meatless Monday dinner of chickpea curry. It’s light and simple and perfect for the warm days of August. Serve over your favorite grain and a fresh green salad.
On Tuesday we’re going to the Southwest with a Tex-Mex, super easy dinner that I know the guys in my house will love.
Wednesday’s dinner is a 12-minute Thai dish made with ground meat. While the recipe is written for chicken, swap in your favorite meat like (turkey, pork, or beef).
We always seem to serve seafood on Thursday and this week’s 15-minute salmon dish is delicious with a creamy orzo side.
On Friday, it’s a cowboy special, one skillet, 15-minute dinner everyone will love.
And finally, the treat is a summer classic, reinvented without a campfire. If you have access to one, by all means, make the real thing!
Have a great week!

A light and simple chickpea curry to begin the week. Serve over your favorite grain, like basmati rice.
Tuesday: 15 Minute Crispy Tex-Mex Chicken Wraps
"While the chicken tenders help make these wraps so easy and kid-friendly, it’s the sauce that makes them so out-of-this-world-good. This Tex-Mex Ranch Sauce is just three easy ingredients... This stuff is liquid gold — I like to make a little extra and then dip my wrap in it, too."
Wednesday: 12 Minute Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles
"Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles is what you make when you've got less than 15 minutes to get dinner on the table and you need a Thai fix!" Use any ground meat (beef, turkey, pork) that you prefer!

"In this quick salmon dinner, salmon fillets are paired with creamy orzo, wilted spinach and earthy mushrooms. Cooking the salmon at a high temperature helps speed up the cooking in this healthy dinner recipe. Look for pre-sliced mushrooms to speed it up even more."
Friday: 15-Minute Cowboy Beef and Rice Skillet
