Day 8: Chicken Lo Mein – 20 days of real family dinners

We’ve all been there. You’re this close to ordering takeout, but then you remember that you have a fridge full of food. You order takeaway anyway, 😆but you vow to meal plan some quick and easy dinners next week that are BETTER than your local takeaway.

Enter Chicken Lo Mein – juicy chicken, slurp-worthy noodles, and a glossy, umami-packed sauce that makes everything taste like magic.

✅ Ready in 25 minutes
✅ No fancy ingredients – just pantry staples
✅ One pan, one sauce, one seriously good dinner
✅ No more chewy chicken – velveting keeps it melt-in-your-mouth tender

Find the full recipe on my website (link in bio) or comment RECIPE, and I’ll send you the link!

Day 7: Sticky Rainbow Beef – 20 days of real family dinner ideas

This one’s for those nights when you want crispy, sticky, takeout-style beef but also don’t want to deal with deep-frying, excessive oil, or another disappointing delivery order.

✅ Super tender beef – no chewy bits!
✅ No deep-frying – just oven, air fryer, or stovetop
✅ A sticky, sweet, salty, and tangy sauce that clings to every bite
✅ Done in under 30 minutes – because nobody’s got time for complicated

This recipe is faster than ordering delivery, made with simple supermarket ingredients, and totally adaptable (swap out the noodles, add more veg, make it yours!).

Day 6: Baked Dijon Chicken - 20 days of real family dinners

This is what I call a set-and-forget dinner. Just 15 minutes of prep, then the oven does the rest while you do literally anything else.

✨ Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside
✨ Creamy, garlicky, mustardy sauce that you’ll want to drink
✨ ONE PAN. No extra dishes, no unnecessary stress

Pair it with mashed potatoes (there’s a freezer-friendly recipe on my website!), rice, or just grab some crusty bread!
