Easy Dinners for HOT Summer Nights

Lately I have felt like I am in a dinner plan rut. So I’m trying out some new things. All of these are budget-friendly, offer a variety of flavors, and are easy to throw together. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Monday - Skillet BBQ Chicken
Tuesday- BBQ Chicken Nachos
Wednesday - Instant Pot Coconut Masoor Dal Tadka
Thursday - Green Goddess Egg Salad with Avocado
Friday - Potato and Chorizo Tacos

What says Summer more than BBQ chicken? Nothing. But what if I can make it in my slow cooker with just a few minutes of prep instead of sweating outside? Yes. Let’s do that. And if I pop it on a bun my kids will love it.

Instead of Taco Tuesday, let’s have Nacho Tuesday. These BBQ Chicken Nachos are fast, easy and a crowd-pleaser. That’s a busy mom trifecta am I right? And yes, I am using my leftover BBQ chicken from Monday night. I’m NOTHING if not resourceful.

Wednesday is usually an Instant pot or Slow Cooker night. This week I wanted to try something new. This Coconut Masoor Dal Tadka sounded so good. If you’re looking for a flavorful vegan recipe this one is sure to be a hit.

It’s time for a dinner picnic and I think this Green Goddess Egg Salad with Avocado will be a hit with my husband. It mixes something old and familiar with a little bit of a twist.

Friday means comfort food. This Potato and Chorizo taco will be a great way to start a relaxing evening after a long week.
