This dinner line-up got me through a week where time was tight, patience was low, and the fridge looked like it had already given up. There’s a mix of quick wins (hello, One-Pan Beef Ramen Noodles), nostalgic comfort (Beef and Potato Pie), and big-flavour fakeaways like Sweet and Sour Pork that make weeknights feel a little less repetitive.
Cheeseburger Pasta is a hit with the kids every time, Creamy Garlic Chicken feels fancier than it is, and the whole lot is made with real supermarket ingredients. No overcomplicated steps. No specialty sauces you’ll use once. Just practical dinners that help you get through the week.
You’ll find all five recipes in my new cookbook Simple Dinners Every Day – along with 100+ more recipes made for every day of the week, picky eaters, and the nights when you’re too tired to cook but still need something on the table.
Pre-orders are open now, and because retailer quantities are locked in early, the best way to guarantee your copy is to pre-order for shipping in early October. You can pre-order your copy here (international stockists are listed).
