In honor of my 30 Minute Dinner CookBook, I’ve dubbed this week “30 Minute Dinner Week”, and am sharing a TON of weeknight dinner inspiration for us.
Today is the last day…and I’m finishing off with a round-up! I’ve taken most of the summer off from doing these round-ups and am excited to get going with them again. I always get a ton of inspiration from these round-ups and hope that you do too!
So this is actually my second round-up of healthy 30 minute meals. The first round-up, which is over here, was so popular and has been shared over 270,000 times…isn’t that crazy? Since then I’ve added a ton of new 30 minute dinner recipes to my site and thought it was time to do another round-up!
To start off the post I’m sharing some tips to get dinner on your table in under 30 minutes:
- Have a plan. Having a plan means no last-minute scouring the internet, and also means that you’ll have all the ingredients you need on hand.
- Prep meal components ahead. Maybe this means cooking a batch of rice or some chicken breasts on Sunday or mixing together a sauce or vinaigrette. A tiny bit of effort ahead makes a HUGE difference at 5pm!
- Stir fries, pastas and big salads are your friends. This all-in-one type of meals mean you don’t have to spend a bunch of time prepping side dishes. (All of the meals below are ‘all-in-one’ dinner recipes!)
- Shortcuts are great! Using bottled stir fry sauce or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is an awesome way to cut out some prep time.
What is your favorite tip to get dinner on the table on week-nights? I’d love to hear!
