These 3 ingredient dinner recipes are going to make weeknight dinners so simple!
This list here has more than two weeks of dinner ideas that requite only three ingredients. Not only doest that make life in the kitchen easier, it’s easier on your wallet, too.
I’ve been cooking at home so much more recently. I think with social distancing, we’re all finding ourselves spending more time in the kitchen.
For me, I’ve never been one to love cooking. It just hasn’t ever been my thing and that is OK.
Because of that, I collect easy, simple dinner ideas that can get on the table with little hassle. These certainly are perfect for that!

Cheetos Chicken
Chicken + Crunch Cheetos + Eggs
I can tell you that this is a great dinner for picky eaters. Kids love Cheetos chicken!

Love the recipes
I have a question about the Chicken Parmesan Recipe. Do you cook the chicken in the marinara sauce or do you add the sauce after the chicken is cooked? The recipe and the details above don’t match. If you cook chicken first, I am assuming you will need to add some broth or water to cook and then drain once you shred and add sauce. Please advise. Thanks!
What nice recipes! Thank you for your sharing. I decide to make Meatloaf and Chicken Parmesan for my dinner.
This looks really good please send me the website thank you
