The “what’s for dinner” problem solved

Hey Reader,

Another week, another round of “what are we eating for dinner?” 😅

I don’t know about you, but some weeks the mental load of figuring out meals feels harder than actually cooking them. You know those memes that ask you to choose between laundry, money, dinner, etc? I'd chose never thinking about dinner again lol

  • Jerk Chicken: Thighs with the bone in work best for this recipe as boneless thighs tend to overcook and get too juicy.
  • 15 Minute Skillet: Boneless chicken breasts are the most common but boneless, skinless, chicken thighs work well too. You may need to cook them longer though to remove the juice.
  • Stovetop Chili: The chili will thicken if left to sit in the fridge overnight. You may need to add some water to the pot if reheating the whole thing.
  • Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes: In order to have the sprouts become slightly crispy, make sure you first de-stem them and then quarter or even cut them once more. The smaller the sprouts the better they'll crisp up and taste.
  • Pork Chops and Apples: Patting the pork chops dry with paper towels before seasoning helps achieve that perfect golden sear.
