30 Minute Dinners to Save Your Evenings

Hi Reader,

With two of my three kids in school now, life has been so busy and pulling me in many different directions. Between homework, after school activities, and just our normal daily routines, it seems like the day goes by in the snap of a finger.

That's why I've been focusing on simplifying the things I can control and getting some of my time back in the evenings with these ready in 30-minutes or less dinner recipes. These recipes are healthy, delicious, and family-friendly. I know you will love them too!

Chicken Caesar Smashed Tacos

If you've haven't made smashed tacos before your life is about to be forever changed! It's so much fun and the topping ideas are truly endless. This recipe has 31 grams of protein per serving and can be made in just 3o minutes!

This salad comes together in just 15 minutes and is such a game-changer. I love the fresh flavors and filling 24 grams of protein per serving that it has. You will want to make this one on repeat just because of how simple and delicious it is!

This recipe has a surprising 45 grams of protein per serving! I love the flavors of this one, plus the entire recipe comes together in one pan. You can adjust the spice level to your liking and I promise you will love the flavors in this one.

This is one all three of my kids really enjoy. I love the amount of hidden veggies it contains, providing extra nutrients for my family. You just need 20 minutes to get this recipe made and served! It refrigerates well if you want to save leftovers for later or meal prep it.

This recipe is so easy and quick to make, plus it is incredibly versatile. You can throw together a sandwich, make a wrap, or just simply serve it over lettuce. It comes together in just 15 minutes, and has a unique, creative twist on the classic flavor.

The versatility that comes with taco salad is one of my favorite things about it. So many flavors in one healthy salad. This is one of my go-to recipes for busy weeknights. It can be made in just 30 minutes. Your family will love it!

Get ready for this one to become a favorite! This recipe can be made in just 15 minutes and contains 38 grams of protein per serving. I love the zesty flavors. You can make it with grilled chicken, rotisserie, or even meal-prepped chicken breast.

If you still feel like you're drowning in things to do and need to buy back your time, then this is where you want to be!
