making lately: dinner go-tos

We're not people who go out for dinner all that often, but somehow these weeks of staying at home have felt like there is just SO MUCH making of dinner that needs to happen. Maybe because I'm not going to the store to get my own groceries, so it feels somehow more effortful to think about dinner when I have to make grocery orders?


Doing Blue Apron some weeks has helped with not having to think of quite so many menu ideas (and of course assists with the procurement of ingredients), but tasty as those are, they often are a bit more work. So I have been thinking about my easy go-tos that I can fall back on when I'm feeling the dinner rut. Like I am right now, despite the fact that we actually got takeout this week for once...

In case you need any ideas too, here are 4 simple and quick recipes that we love, pictured above:
Asian chicken lettuce wraps (serve on top of rice for the hungrier crowd)

Grilled chicken and veggies with feta yogurt sauce (make it even easier by just grilling chicken breasts and putting chopped veggies in a grill basket

Baked hummus chicken (serve on top of salad or inside of pitas)

Bacon and spinach fritatta (add roasted potato to make it heartier, skip bacon to make it vegetarian but then perhaps add blue cheese to up the flavor punch)
