Sheet Pan Kebabs
This is a newer recipe in our family repertoire, born from my increasing laziness around preparing dinner. I wasn’t sure how the lamb would go over (it can be hit or miss), but it was a universal hit and the leftovers were devoured within a day. Choosing lean lamb & mixing it with the beef keeps the gamey flavor that turns some off from it imperceptible.
Stewed Beef Tacos- Lazy Dinners
I love an intricate Mexican feast. I tend to do those on the weekends when my time to be in the kitchen can be more spacious.
This is a weeknight adaptation, designed for maximum flavor and minimum prep time.
Chicken Tzaziki- Lazy Dinners
There are a million ways to make this recipe. Below, I give instructions on how to prepare it in a slow cooker. This is an easy recipe to get in the habit of preparing in the morning so you come home to dinner. If you are a parent and have never done this, do your evening self a favor and try it out. Meal plans and early morning prep are game changers if you are tasked with cooking for a family. And yes, I also resisted those things for many years. I’m here to keep you from making the same mistake.
Roast Turkey Breast- Lazy Dinners
Ever since getting sick this winter, I’ve been in a cooking rut. I’ve been willing myself back to the kitchen with the laziest recipes I can find. Here’s one that is insanely delicious and easy, three ingredients including the turkey!
Miso Mustard Salmon, Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Broccolini
We eat some version of this meal almost every week. It’s a collection of recipes now merged into one. The glaze is from a cookbook I once had of recipes with three ingredients. I no longer even measure! It does come out a bit different every time, but always good. Japanese Sweet Potatoes are my absolute favorite, but they must be roasted whole or they dry out.
Squash, Spinach and Chicken Stew
This stew is adapted from a recipe in a Moosewood Cookbook I bought many many decades ago; one of my first ever cookbook purchases. I cooked my way through most of the book. There are very few recipes I still make from it, but this one has earned a spot of regular rotation in our household.
