List: 10 Easy Weeknight Meals

We’ve all been there. You tell yourself you’re actually going to cook this week. You plan your meals, you go to the grocery store, you stock your fridge and you pat yourself firmly on the back. But then Monday hits and all you feel like doing after work is crashing on the couch. I get it.

If you want to make cooking a priority, though, then set yourself up for success and pick meals that you know you’ll actually follow through with. These 10 recipes require minimal chopping and minimal effort but are seriously bursting with flavor! Give one or two of them a try next week , and I promise you’ll surprise yourself.
