pt 2: stop cooking dinner, start dumping it - 8 recipes!

Okayyy stop what you’re doing and make this as soon as possible. The combination of honey, goat cheese and tomatoes makes this absolutely dreamy and a winner meal! 🥇

I wish I could tell you this plated beautifully. I can't. It's ugly. But it was delicous! The rice was perfectly cooked, the chicken was soo good, and the flavors were doing exactly what they were supposed to do. You won't regret making this.

I’ve been eyeing this French onion soup at Trader Joe’s for a while with hopes of adding it to pasta. I finally tried and it did NOT disappoint 🤩✨ this recipe is definitely a keeper. Serve as is or with chicken or steak!

There’s something really satisfying about a true dump and bake dinner, and this one has been on repeat for me lately. It’s creamy and easy, but the lemon keeps everything feeling fresh and balanced. You throw everything into one dish, rice, orzo, chicken sausage, spinach, Boursin, and it bakes into this rich, flavorful meal where the cheese melts right into the broth!

We are smack in the middle of summer, which for us somehow means I have even less time to cook than usual. Standing over a hot stove every night is not something I’m interested in, and I’ve definitely decided to make dump and bake dinners more and more throughout the week. The oven does all the work, I do almost none of it! This recipe uses chicken sausage, rice, and Boursin cheese, and it turned out to be one of the best weeknight dinners I’ve made in a while. I’m already planning to make it again!

This might be the easiest Trader Joe’s dinner hack ever. Macaroni, chicken sausage, and that cheddar cheese spread, all baked into one cheesy pan of delicous!

One tray dinners have my whole heart 🫶 Minimal dishes, so flavorful, low effort but feels a little fancy. This baked orzo with crispy bacon, tomatoes, and creamy stracciatella is sooo good. Exactly the kind of recipe I reach for on busy weeknights. Let me know if you try 🧡

Both my kids loved this and so will you since it’s one tray dinner that literally takes 5 minutes of prep. The oven will make this into the creamiest yummiest dinner you’ll have all week!
