Lazy Meals for Lazy Days

Published 21 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

After taking a few weeks off, I'm back in the kitchen and behind the computer - but oh, is it hard to get back into routines! One thing that always suffers for me after a vacation like this is cooking.

Even if I usually love it, combining work and hobbies and cooking with everything else that needs to get done suddenly feels totally impossible.

That's when I reach for these super easy meals! I call them lazy because they are so easy to make. But don't think that makes them any less delicious!

You'll love these dishes, and you'll want to keep them on hand for busy seasons ahead.

​Cheesy Tortellini Casserole​

This cheap & cheesy Tortellini Casserole has been my go-to easy dinner for 17 years! It's so easy with just 5 ingredients but lots of flavor. Boil the tortellini halfway, then dump, bake and serve! It also heats up really well for delicious leftovers!

​Thin Basil Chicken Breasts​

Slicing chicken breasts in half makes them cook up sooo quickly. Season them generously with garlic and basil, then cook in your air fryer, in a pan, or on the grill. Quick, easy, and so flavorful!

​Lemon Ricotta Pasta​

OK, now this is a REALLY quick one! The sauce is made without any heat, then pair with fresh pasta for the fastest version. Loaded with lemon & garlic flavors for a cheesy pasta that's a great main course on its own, or serve as a side for your favorite protein.

Enjoy your lazy days!

Hey Reader, Summer is still going strong here, but evenings are getting darker and the nights are getting longer. And sometimes I can feel a distinctly fall-y crisp in the air... Now, I LOVE fall above all else so this doesn't make me too sad. But, there are a few recipes I want to make sure I make before fall really hits. And I think you should try them, too! These are some of my all-time summer favorites, and I definitely need to make them at least once more this season. Extra Everything...

Hey Reader, When it's hot out, dinner should feel light. The caprese is my go-to when tomatoes are this good. Three ingredients is plenty, and it's hearty enough to call a meal. From there, the salmon tacos with ginger-avocado salsa and the larb gai keep things fresh and bright. And that cabbage salad has been in regular rotation for YEARS...

Hey Reader, Pasta doesn't have to mean a heavy dinner. These are my warm-weather favorites - light, fast, and a couple of them just as good cold the next day. The red pesto one is my on-repeat summer pick (great straight from the fridge), but the garlic butter shrimp and cherry tomato versions are right behind it.
