🥘 Your weekend dinner inspiration

Published 22 days ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader!

We made it to Friday! 🙌 If figuring out dinner is about the last thing you want to do at the end of the week, I've got a couple of recipes that are perfect for easing into the weekend.

One is a ridiculously good potato side that takes mashed potatoes to a whole new level. The other gives you all the flavor of stuffed peppers without actually having to stuff a single pepper. Win-win!

🥔 Twice Baked Potatoes, Casserole Style

If twice baked potatoes are your kind of comfort food, you need to try my Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes Casserole.

It's loaded-potato goodness in an easy casserole that works with almost any main dish. Best of all, there's no scooping or stuffing individual potatoes!

🫑 Stuffed Pepper Flavor Without the Work

Then there's Unstuffed Peppers. You get all those familiar stuffed pepper flavors without the extra assembly.

It's an easy comfort-food dinner for nights when you don't want a big project.

💡 Easy Dinner Tip

When you're planning next week's meals, start with recipes that do most of the work for you.

One-pot meals, casseroles, and Instant Pot dinners can cut down on prep and cleanup. Add a leftover night after a bigger meal and you've covered two dinners at once.
