Creamy peanut butter curry. One of my alllll time favorite meals! Such an easy weeknight dinners, comes together in less than 20 minutes but tastes like it’s been cooking for hours.

I feel like it’s a stretch calling this a recipe?! But it’s a great weeknight dinner that comes together with almost no prep!!

3. Walking Taco Casserole
$20.13 - 4 to 5 serving
Okay but why did nobody tell me about walking taco casserole sooner?? this is my new everything. So easy, so good, and the corn chips somehow stay crunchy through the whole thing. making this for every party from here on out.

4. Goat Cheese Flavor Bomb spaghetti
$8.48 - 4 servings
The hot honey goat cheese is the real star here. It melts into the cherry tomatoes and makes a creamy sauce that comes together so easily. This pasta feels special but is honestly super simple to make with just a few ingredients.

5. Salsa Verde Chicken and Couscous
$13.08 - 4 servings
I’ve been making this meal for years when I need something easy and quick! Couscous is so easy to make and the salsa verde and chicken goes together so perfectly! If you don’t like thighs you can substitute for chicken breast too.
