It’s August, so odds are you’re either sweating, working or wishing you were on vacation at any given moment. (If you’re like me, it’s usually all three.) Still, you’ll need to eat dinner despite this vicious cycle, and I’m guessing you don’t want to spend too much time in a hot kitchen figuring out what to cook.
Lucky for you, I’ve rounded up 31 of my favorite foolproof, seasonal and affordable August dinner recipes to make this month, from tacos to skillet pasta. These ideas are just right for lazy weeknights when you don’t feel like pulling out all the stops, but they’re still tasty enough to entice and inspire you throughout the week. Think easy five-ingredient corn soup, crispy baked fish tacos with cabbage slaw, lemongrass-ginger coconut grilled steak and so much more.
