Pantry Ingredients: olive oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper, all-purpose flour, dried oregano, honey, Dijon mustard, sugar, vegetable oil, balsamic vinegar, panko breadcrumbs
Monday: Pan Con Tomate And Mozzarella Bake
Time is of the essence on Monday nights, and this 20-minute sheet-pan meal gets that. Even better, you only need seven ingredients to make it (and we’re betting you already have most of them).
Tuesday: Slow-cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Taco Tuesday is a go. Serve this with tortilla chips for dipping, or give everyone at the table a slice to fill a few taco shells with.
Wednesday: Shepherd’s Pie
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This dish is traditionally made with lamb, but we swapped in Guinness beef stew instead. We also spruced up the mashed potato topping with the tangy additions of goat cheese and sour cream.
Thursday: Ravioli Lasagna
Pasta pillows filled with cheese > lasagna noodles. Pick any variety of ravioli you like—this recipe is flexible and basically foolproof.
Friday: Honey-mustard Chicken Bake
It’s pretty epic that this recipe tackles your protein and veggies in one fell swoop, but the caramelized honey-mustard sauce on top steals the show.
Saturday: Green Bean Casserole Galette
We just want one teeny-tiny taste of Thanksgiving before spring arrives, cool?
Sunday: Creamy Vegan Lentil And Roasted Vegetable Bake
Behold, the ultimate plant-based comfort food. Think caramelized cauliflower, squash and sweet potato and hearty lentils swimming in rich cashew cream, finished with a crispy pine nut topping.
