Getting back into the swing of things can be overwhelming. Take one stressor off your list by planning a menu of tasty 20-minute meals for the week! From noodle bowls to throw-together tacos, each of these recipes is a snap to prepare and will satisfy hungry adults and kids alike. You’ve got this!
Grilled Cajun Shrimp Kebabs with Sausage
We always recommend flat skewers for kebabs, as they help secure food items in place and stop them from spinning while on the grill. But because of the speedy cook time for this dish from Southern Living, you can actually use unsoaked wooden skewers in place of metal ones. Serve over rice to stretch this meal even further.
20-Minute Stir-Fried Honey Ginger Sesame Noodles
This saucy and salty recipe from Half-Baked Harvest relies mainly on pantry staples to make an impact, meaning this is a great choice for nights when you don’t have a dinner plan in place. Bonus: This meal is plant-based!
20-Minute Shrimp Spring Rolls
Passport Flavor’s no-cook spring rolls are light, chilled, and packed with veggies, making them a great portable meal option. If you don’t have time to make the Thai dipping sauce, consider subbing in garlic achaar—we like Brooklyn Dehli and Trader Joe’s brands.
Easy Ground Chicken Tacos
Taco night is a classic move when sports, band practice, and homework start filling up the calendar. And these ground chicken tacos from Healthy Seasonal Recipes offer a massive upgrade from basic ground beef. The secret ingredient is tomato paste, which ramps up the flavor of the sauce with minimal effort.
Easy One-Pot Pasta
Never underestimate the power of a quick-cleanup recipe! This one-pot pasta combines uncooked rotini, veggies, and sauce and heats them all together, resulting in a truly simple and satisfying dinner created by From My Bowl. If mushrooms aren’t your thing, try eggplant or artichoke hearts instead.
