Simple Dinner Recipes

I struggle with making dinner. Always have, always will. I can tell you that making a plan beforehand, and thinking about it during the day, cuts down on the 6 PM mad dash around the kitchen trying to figure out what to make. If you are anything like me, you ultimately decide to go easy on yourself and go get a Little Caesars $5 pizza. That has happened more times than I care to admit. Another hard thing about making dinner is having a nice variety of recipes. I obviously can't make the same thing every night, so it takes a lot of time to go through Pinterest and find simple recipes that I know I can make without a lot of effort.

I found a meme that explains exactly how I feel about most recipes...

I sat down the other day, made a menu for October. I thought I would share it week by week, since I know I am not the only one that suffers with whattomakefordinneritis. Even if you don't struggle like I do, I hope you can find a few new recipes to add to your rotation.

I only make dinner Monday-Thursday. Friday is date night, Saturday is whatever you can find day, and Sunday my husband cooks.
