Low-Effort Dinners for the In-Between Week


We just got back from a full-on holiday weekend with family, food, and a little bit of chaos—in the best way 🎄✨ Our hearts are full, our bellies are fuller, and now we’ve officially entered that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s where no one knows what day it is and leftovers somehow count as a food group 🍪😂

This is not the week for complicated cooking 🚫🍳

These 5 dinners are all about low effort, cozy flavors, and minimal decision-making 🥘🤍 No big prep, no overthinking—just easy, comforting meals to get you through the week without living in the kitchen.

Scroll down, choose what sounds good, and don’t overthink dinner this week 👉✨

inside out egg roll bowls

Made with ground turkey and a bagged coleslaw mix to keep things extra easy. All the cozy, savory flavors of an egg roll - no rolling required.

chicken pot pie skillet

A one-pan, cozy classic made simple with rotisserie chicken. Comfort food without the fuss!

burger bowls

All the best parts of a burger, no bun required. I love making homemade fries, but frozen fries are absolutely welcome if your energy is running low this week.

curried chicken salad

Great for low-effort nights and leftovers. Stuff it into a wrap, serve it over mixed greens, or scoop it up with your favorite crackers.

beefy hamburger helper

Creamy, nostalgic, and the ultimate comfort meal. Easy, satisfying, and perfect for when you just want dinner to feel good.

Hope you had a Happy, Merry Everything!
