The 4th is Over. Dinner Still Has to Happen.

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

The 4th is over, the leftovers are gone, and dinner still has to happen every single night. These are the recipes I reach for when it's still hot outside but the cookout energy has officially left the building - quick, easy, and actually good on a Tuesday.

Baja Shrimp Tacos Crispy shrimp, slaw, and a creamy sauce that ties it all together. Ready in about 20 minutes and feels like summer in a tortilla.

	Salmon Tacos Light, fresh, and done fast. If you've never put salmon in a taco before, this is the one to start with.

	Tuscan Chicken Orzo One pan, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a creamy sauce that comes together faster than you'd expect.

	Lemon Butter Chicken Buttery pan sauce, egg noodles, and a weeknight that actually goes smoothly. Reliable every single time.

	Italian Stuffed Chicken Roll Ups Chicken rolled around Italian fillings and grilled until golden. Looks impressive, actually pretty easy.

	Zucchini Fritters Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and a great way to use up the zucchini that showed up unannounced in your garden.

Pick one for tonight. The cookout era is over - weeknight era is back.
