If the dinner dread hits you around 4 pm every single day, you’re not alone – and I refuse to let another week go by where we let dinner rule us! This meal plan does the thinking for you so you can get on with, well… everything else. It’s a mix of comforting classics and quick wins: Juicy Oven-Baked Beef Kebabs for when you want something fun, One-pan Greek Chicken and Risoni for those “I need zero effort” nights, and Creamy Sausage Pasta because sometimes you just need a bowl of joy. There’s a crowd-pleasing Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne, a quick Dumpling Laksa for rainy evenings, and two fakeaways (Loaded Potato Taco Bowls and One-pan Beef Ramen Noodles) that taste like you actually tried. Minimal prep, supermarket ingredients, and dinners your whole family will eat – sorted.
This Juicy Oven-baked Kebabs recipe is a quick, budget-friendly fakeaway that delivers bold flavour, and it’s easily cooked in the oven. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd or customising for fussy eaters, and the garlic yoghurt + sumac onion combo takes it over the top. Make it once and it’ll be on regular rotation.
Golden, juicy chicken thighs with crispy skin, nestled into garlicky, lemony risoni – all cooked in one pan. No boiling pasta, no juggling pans. Just a comforting, crowd-pleasing dinner that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier!
Comforting Creamy Sausage Pasta is a delicious, flavour-packed weeknight dinner, which is on the table in less than 20 minutes. This version uses fresh lasagne strips to create thick, indulgent pasta in a luscious sauce, fast!
Crispy roasted potatoes make the perfect base for this loaded taco bowl, topped with spiced beef, guac, salsa and cheese. This Loaded Potato Taco Bowl recipe is budget-friendly, freezer-friendly, and a fun way to mix up taco night without adding extra effort.
Tender lasagne sheets, shredded chicken, broccoli and a creamy, garlicky cheese sauce, all cooked in the one pan. One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne is freezer-friendly, too!
Freezer dumplings and a handful of pantry staples transform into a warming bowl of Quick Dumpling Laksa in one pan in just 20 minutes. The fragrant curry-coconut broth feels like a takeaway treat but is easy enough for weeknights. Make it when you want comfort food that doesn’t require effort.
One-pan Beef Ramen Noodles is an easy, flavoursome stir-fry featuring juicy beef, ramen noodles and fresh veggies in a hoisin-based sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights!
