January 2017 Weeknight Dinner Ideas Part 2

Happy final day of dry January!  Have you been able to successfully keep any cooking resolutions you made for 2017?  I am happy to report that I have completed both another dry January, and avoided restaurants for the month.  Many of the recipes featured below did double duty for both dinners and lunches!  

Furthermore, after seeing so many inspirational pictures online, I'm already thinking about fully embracing the Cook 90 challenge in 2018.  For anyone who successfully completed the Cook 90 challenge, what are your tips and tricks for unique breakfasts and lunches while working a full-time job?  Would love to hear if you had success with Dry January or the Cook 90 challenge, and how you made it through the month!  

As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
