Directions
Hurry Curry Chicken
Next up on my list of fast and easy dinner recipes, is Hurry Curry Chicken.

Avacado Egg Wraps
Now, this recipe could easily serve your breakfast, lunch or dinner needs and it is also one of the popular recipes on the blog.
Very healthy, I guarantee your whole family will love this yummy wrap. Avacado is really a game changer!
Easy Chicken Fajita Recipe
I love to make these fajitas on our weeknights!
But I must confess, it takes a lot more than 7 ingredients but most of them are seasonings you might use regularly. So no extra shopping needed. If there are leftovers (which I don’t think there would be 😉 ), keep it in the fridge to eat for the rest of the week!
Crunchy Cashew Chicken
With 6 main ingredients, you and your family can enjoy a tasty meal during busy week nights.
It is fast and easy to make, just the way you like it.
Sour Cream Noodles and Beef
This is a perfect dish that can leave you full and sated.
And how great is to feel that way during your busy week when everyone is racing against time? A hearty meal is a luxury on week days, but with a bit of planning you are well on your way to enjoy one 🙂
Now that you know all about my weeknight dinner suggestions, it is time to check out few of my food blogger friends. Let’s tap into their stash too while we are at it, right? 😉
Quick Kabobs
Summer is the perfect time to do some grilling. Carol and Randi at FrugElegance has just the thing you need! Their Quick Kabobs recipe stole my heart!
Look how colorful these kabobs look? I will be definitely giving it a try for my cook outs this year.

Paleo AIP Portobello Rosemary Garlic Burger Stacks
In case you are feeling burgers during the week, no need to go on fast food mode. The Health Nut Mama’s recipe has got you covered.
Her Portobello Rosemary Garlic Burger Stacks calls for a lot of ingredients and a total of 40 minutes cooking time. But the main ingredients are less than 7 and if you prep beforehand (all the cutting and such) it only takes 20 minutes to finish and put it on the dinner table. Awesome! I am already drooling looking at the picture..
