12 Easy & delicious weeknight dinner ideas which will make your hectic life a little easier!

12 Easy Weeknight Dinners

Helloooo friends & only 1 day away from September!! Gosh even though I am super excited that fall will be here soon and I can feel it in the air, I am also worried that this year is passing by so quickly! What do you think? With schools starting and some already started, I know how life can get in the way & tasks like throwing a healthy yet delicious dinner often seems like impossible! Even though we don’t have kids yet, there are days or should I say mostly I feel myself with no time to throw a simple dinner. There is so much to do that often I feel day was 48 hours instead of 24 hours so I could fit in everything in my day! But it is what it is and so I have been trying to plan atleast a week’s worth of meals in advance so I don’t have to worry when it’s dinnertime!

Here are 12 of my current favorite meals that are flavor packed, gets cooked in under an hour or so & are way healthier than take-out or eating out!

So ready?

One Pot Fish Paella

Butternut Squash Polenta

Healthy Baked Potato Skins

Roasted Sweet Potato Quesadilla With Chutney

Thai Veggie Enchiladas

So hopefully with so many meal ideas, you should get time to unwind & enjoy!
