Weeknights can feel like a blur from the time we get home until we finally crawl into bed. Knowing that dinner is taken care of can make all the difference – even for the most proficient home chef. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite quick and easy weeknight recipes, that we think the whole family will love! Not feeding a crowd? Save the leftovers for lunch the next day!

Greek Chicken Burgers

Packed with fresh flavour, and super simple to throw together, these can be a staple for any time of year. Play around with different toppings to keep this meal fresh and interesting - no matter how many times you make it.

Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas

Who doesn't love a meal that cooks itself? Toss the ingredients on a pan and walk away -- all you have to do is chop and serve. You can also get creative with different sauces and wraps to change things up!

Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Wing night is always a win! Sweet and sticky and oh-so-delicious, this is a finger-licking crowd pleaser all around.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash 

"Breakfast" isn't a meal, it's a mindset. Especially when breakfast is this quick, easy, and delicious. You can't go wrong!

Sticky Korean Pork Chops

Sauce is boss with these bad boys. Sweet, salty, tender, juicy, and a perfect addition to the "dinners I can throw together without thinking" arsenal. These tasty pork chops pair with a variety of different sides – so the last thing anyone will say about this meal is “boring”.

A bonus tip? These meals can all be made ahead, so they're even easier to serve on the fly! When your schedule is jam-packed (or when you have a whole season of a show calling your name), having a meal idea on-hand or prepped ahead of time can take a lot of the legwork out of getting dinner on the table.
