Simply Made Eats by Tara

Anyone else feeling low energy by dinner? I don't know if it's the heat, my crazy dogs, or the arguing kids, but by 6 p.m I am ready for bed!

Summer has turned into chaos and speaking of chaos, I'm writing this email from the trampoline park and trying to keep my composure. 🤪🤪 Lots of screaming kids, but I'm happy they're having fun.

This week I've got a quick email for my favorite people and it's 5 easy dinner ideas to get you in and out of the kitchen quick!

5 Easy Summer Dinners

☀️Monday:

These Zucchini Roll Ups are one of my favorite meatless recipes. It's like lasagna, but without the pasta. You'll get all the cheese and sauce rolled up inside tender zucchini!

☀️ Tuesday:

It's Taco Tuesday, but instead of the normal tacos try these Chicken Crunch Wraps. They are a Taco Bell copycat recipe and brand NEW to the blog ✨✨✨

☀️ Wednesday:

This Cheesy Beef Macaroni aka Chili Mac is a one pot meal ready in 30 minutes and the kiddos love it!

☀️Thursday:

Sweet Chili Salmon is on the menu. It's sweet with a touch of spice and so easy to prep in 5 minutes, then let the oven finish the work. I pair this with white rice in my favorite rice cooker*(affiliate link) and call it a night!

☀️Friday:

Pesto Chicken Orzo finishes the week off. It's another one pot recipe and features pesto and fresh basil, which I love for Summer.

That's it for this week..Thanks for reading and Happy Cooking!
