Can you believe August is already here?! We are full swing getting ready for back to school in this coming week and as so many of you know, it’s about to get WILD. Crazy schedules, meetings, so. much. paperwork.
With all that fun, I’m really relying on super easy recipes that can get us through for busy evenings. I’m talking 30 minutes, healthy, high protein, and lots of flavor!
And when I say easy, I mean EASY! Like the lowest effort possible with the best results. That’s my kind of busy weeknight meal! The ingredients are simple, the prep time is minimal, and the flavors are still big, bold, and delicious. It’s a win-win!
P.S.: If planning out dinners (or breakfasts or snacks) feels overwhelming this month, definitely check out my monthly ebooks. They are life-changing, friend!
Each Monthly Recipe Ebook includes two weeks’ worth of:
4 healthy breakfasts
4 snacks/treats
6 high-protein dinners
Complete grocery lists for each week
Use it as a meal plan, or just flip through it like a mini cookbook. Whatever works for your life! August’s Monthly Ebook is all about keeping things easy and celebrating the last of in-season summer produce. The recipes are SO good!
This entire recipe cooks on one sheet pan and is ready to eat in 30 minutes. Crunchy tortillas are topped with guacamole, flavorful shrimp, veggies, and a drizzle of hot honey for a well-balanced meal that’s fun to eat!
So much flavor in these! With sweet and spicy marinated chicken, a crisp corn and black bean salsa, fluffy rice, fresh veggies, and a drizzle of hot honey sauce, every bite is full of the best flavors. It’s truly the perfect healthy dinner recipe!
This is an easy, veggie-forward take on one of my favorite childhood recipes. Sweet, savory, and filling, it’s perfect for serving in buns, over potatoes, or even using as a base for nachos. The options are endless, and leftovers store and freeze well for meal prep!
Made with spicy tuna, marinated cucumbers, creamy avocado, edamame, and warm rice, these bowls have all the flavors of sushi you love with no need for cooking! Ready in 15 minutes, they’re way faster than takeout and can easily be customized with different ingredients and toppings.
My littles love these pizzas and get so excited getting to choose their own toppings. Start with pre-made pita bread, add your favorite toppings, and pop the pizzas in the oven to heat up. Easy peasy!
You can never go wrong with a classic ground beef taco. My homemade seasoning ensures the meat is never bland, and I even sneak in a few veggies. Prep extra protein to store in the fridge or freezer for later!
The ultimate recipe mashup, these pizzas start with soft pita bread. Then, I add shawarma-seasoned chicken, cheese, fresh veggies, and a sweet balsamic glaze. With a five-star rating, it’s a reader favorite on the blog and my go-to when I really don’t feel like cooking.
This is one of those meals I always know I can count on when nothing sounds good, but we still need to eat. It’s also a great way to repurpose leftovers! It’s a healthier twist on takeout versions, and all the ingredients come together in one pan.
These tacos look fancy but come together with 10 simple ingredients. Savory with a kick of spice and a satisfying crunch, they’re one of my favorite meals ever and just so happen to be a breeze to make!
A longtime favorite, these bowls don’t have a five-star rating for nothing. They’re sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, and truly addicting. Seriously, these bowls have everything you could want in a weeknight dinner!
Oh my goodness, these Street Corn Chicken Rice Bowls are seriously my new favorite! They’re a high-protein take on the popular Mexican street food known as elotes, which I became obsessed with when I was there. Everything cooks in one pan and is served over fluffy rice for a meal that’s ready in 30 minutes or less!
