Need some quick dinner ideas on a busy weeknight that aren’t chicken nuggets or mac and cheese? Here are 7 options that look absolutely delicious. They will definitely go on my next Budget Menu Meal Planner.

7 Easy Weeknight Dinners

I don’t know about you but it’s really hard for me to plan ahead. I try. I can stick to a menu plan for about a week. Then life gets in the way again. Have you tried one of those meal delivery services? It’s cool because they do all the planning for you. You don’t have to worry about forgetting a few ingredients in the store, because you receive everything pre-measured and ready to go. Plus it is fun to have the food delivered. Everyone likes getting packages right? You DO have to cook it yourself, but you know it will be healthy and delicious. And they give you instructions.

You can try HelloFresh with this special link save $30 on your first box.

7 Easy Weeknight Dinners

Fish Tacos with Apple Cole Slaw and Chipotle Yogurt Sauce from Pennies Into Pearls

Fried Rice from The Gracious Wife

Crock Pot Asian Porkchops from Glue Sticks and Gumdrops

Simple Oven Tacos from Simplistically Living

Chicken Pad Thai from The Classy Chapter

Vegetable Beef Stir Fry from Dishes and Dust Bunnies

Apple and Tarragon Chicken Salad from Creative Mama, Messy House

And if these are too much work, you can always use this Rapid Mac Cooker that cooks a box of mac and cheese in 5 minutes in the microwave. Score!
