I love food. I love cooking. However, that doesn’t mean I want to spend 2 hours in the kitchen during week nights. Here’s a few of my favorite easy recipes that make a mean dinner and still make me feel like a chef:

Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta

This baby is absolutely delicious and requires minimal ingredients. It’s even won the approval of my boyfriend’s Italian mom.

Grown Up Grilled Cheese

My god, these are amazing. Absolutely my favorite kind of grilled cheese. Sorry, Tom and Chee.

Paleo Shrimp Scampi

Want an easy alternative to salad? This recipe is low carb and paleo, but still yummy.

Sofrita Burrito Bowl

Make your own Chipotle at home. Plus, a great recipe for Meatless Monday.

Chicken Fried Rice

Who doesn’t love Chinese take out? This recipe is super simple and you only need one pan!
