Day #2345345 of cooking quarantine diner for the family and I am in a major rut. So I sat down and spent a solid hour browsing Pinterest and my cookbooks for ideas over the weekend and I came up with a big list of meals I can make that will feed my family. I also asked on Instagram to hear about what you guys are making and I’ve included all your ideas, finding recipe links when possible! I hope this serves as a resource for you during these challenging times!
Quarantine Dinner Ideas I’m Making
Spring Risotto With Peas & Asparagus
Turkey Burgers & Tater Tots (or make your own oven roasted sweet potato fries)
Cauliflower Alfredo with Pasta & Broccoli (made this last night)
Fried Rice (I like to serve this with sheet pan tofu, add in chicken or frozen potstickers)
Better Than Takeout Pad Thai (this is soooo good)
Meatball Subs from Chrissy Tiegen
Patty Melts from Chrissy Tiegen
Sweet Potato & Turkey Shepherd’s Pie
Sweet Potato, Kale & Black Bean Enchiladas
Pierogies & Turkey Sausage (we get frozen Pierogies when we spot them available)
Tacos – So many ways to make these fun and different every week! Try chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, cauliflower & chickpea.
Grilled Cheese – Make them fun, add slices of apple to cheddar or pesto to mozzarella.
And here are all the ideas from the community!
One Pot Greek Pasta (can easily make this not vegan)
Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken
Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs
Turkey Pesto Meatloaf (can use pre-made pesto)
One Pot Creamy Cauliflower Mac & Cheese (pair it with chicken or salmon)
Smitten Kitchen’s One Pot Farro With Tomatoes & Onions
Thank you for all the ideas! I love your blog!
