Your Weekly Dinner Menu Is Here

Hi foodie,

I don’t know about you, but sometimes planning dinners for the week feels like a full-time job. That’s why in today’s newsletter I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite dinner (and lunch!) recipes — comforting, flavorful, and simple enough to make on a busy day. Whether you’re craving cheesy pasta, something warm and spiced, or a crispy classic, I’ve got you covered.

NEW: Cheesy Stuffed Pasta Shells with Meat

If you love pasta and cheese, this recipe is going to hit the spot. Big pasta shells stuffed with ground beef, smothered in marinara, and baked with lots of melty cheese. Comfort food at its finest!

👉 Note: I know many of you prefer detailed blog posts over just videos. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to finish the blog post yet. For now, I only have the video (don’t worry, it’s very detailed!) and there’s also a full written recipe in the video description. I promise the recipe post will be published on my blog very soon — probably next week.

Chickpea Curry

This is one of my go-to weeknight recipes when I want something hearty, healthy, and satisfying. Creamy, spiced chickpeas simmered in a rich curry sauce — pair it with rice or naan, and you’ve got a plant-based dinner the whole family will love.

One Pot Chicken and Rice

Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor. Tender chicken cooked with rice, veggies, and spices — all in one pot. This is a lifesaver recipe for busy days when you just want dinner ready without too many dishes piling up.

Gozleme

If you’ve never had gozleme, you’re in for a treat. These Turkish stuffed flatbreads are crispy on the outside and filled with cheese, spinach, or meat. Perfect for lunch or dinner, and honestly addictive.

Tomato Mascarpone Pasta

Creamy, silky, and packed with flavor — tomato mascarpone pasta is the kind of dish that feels gourmet but is ready in no time. A simple twist on a classic tomato sauce that makes it rich and irresistible.

Chicken Schnitzel

Golden, crispy, and juicy on the inside — chicken schnitzel is always a crowd-pleaser. Serve it with mashed potatoes, fries, or a fresh salad, and you’ve got a dinner that never fails.
