Are y’all enjoying this warm February weather as much as I am? I can’t believe it’s 70 outside! All of this sunshine and warm weather is causing me to clean up our patio and order new outdoor dishes so we are ready for Spring!
I know it’s hard to grocery shop and get ready for the work week when it’s this beautiful outside, but hopefully I can help you find a few quick dinner ideas to make cooking this week a bit easier! Most of the recipes featured below are super easy to make after work. You can prepare both chicken dishes the night before, and finish cooking them in under 30 minutes. The pork tenderloin was also a quick and flavorful meal— serve it with a side of microwave spaghetti squash and dinner is on the table in under 30 minutes. As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
