5 Simple Dishes to Make for Dinner During the Week

Regardless of the wind, the sun rises and we can see everyday dishes.

Everyday dishes are meals that are easy to make, require minimal prep time, and use simple ingredients that are easily available in any grocery store. These are the kind of dishes that you can whip up on a weeknight after a long day at work, or when you don't feel like putting in a lot of effort in the kitchen. Here are 5 simple dishes that you can make for dinner during the week:

1. Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

If you're looking for a quick and easy meal, spaghetti and meat sauce is always a great option. All you need is some ground beef, tomato sauce, spaghetti pasta, and some basic spices like salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, brown the ground beef and add the tomato sauce, simmer for a few minutes and serve! You can also add some grated cheese on top for added flavor.

2. Stir Fry

Stir fry is a versatile dish that you can make with just about any protein, vegetable, and grain. Simply heat up some oil in a pan, add your protein (chicken, tofu, beef, etc.) and vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, etc.), and cook until they're tender. Add some cooked rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal in just a few minutes. You can also experiment with different sauces and spices to change up the flavor.

3. Baked Chicken Thighs

Baked chicken thighs are a simple and delicious meal that you can throw together in a matter of minutes. Season your chicken thighs with your favorite spices (such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika), put them in a baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also add some vegetables to the pan for a complete meal.

4. Quesadilla

Quesadillas are a great option for a quick and easy meal. All you need is some tortillas, cheese, and your choice of filling (such as chicken, beef, or vegetables). Heat up a pan on medium-high heat, place a tortilla in the pan, add your filling and cheese, and top with another tortilla. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.

5. Chili

Chili is a hearty and filling meal that you can make in a slow cooker or on the stove. All you need is some ground beef or turkey, canned beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and your favorite spices (such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic). Cook everything together on low heat for a few hours, and you have a delicious meal that you can serve with cornbread or crackers.

These 5 simple dishes are perfect for those busy weeknights when you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. They're easy to make, require minimal prep time and use basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So the next time you're wondering what to make for dinner, try one of these everyday dishes.
