Dinner in 20 minutes with basically ZERO mental load? Thanks to @blueapron 🩵 As we get back into the school, sports and work routine, figuring out what’s for dinner every single night is one more thing taking up space in my brain. 😂 I made their Bang Bang Chicken from their 20 Minute or Less meals, and everything I needed was delivered right to my door with easy-to-follow instructions. No meal planning, no last-minute grocery store run (which, believe it or not, I actually hate 😂), and dinner was on the table in 20 minutes. #BlueApronPartner
If you’re a busy parent looking for an easy weeknight dinner hack, THIS is it.

NEW SERIES ALERT! 🙌🏼 Slow Cooker Saves is officially here because busy days call for dinners that basically cook themselves.
Episode 1 is Crock Pot Creamy White Chicken Chili 🤍🌶️ Tender shredded chicken, cannellini and pinto beans, corn, green chiles and plenty of seasoning are slow cooked together, then finished with cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest, coziest bowl. It’s an easy slow cooker dinner with minimal prep, tons of flavor, and plenty of protein for a meal the whole family will love.
Throw everything in the Crock Pot, go live your life, and come back to dinner DONE. 👏🏼 Top it with avocado, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla chips and a squeeze of lime.
Come back for Episode 2 to see how we’re saving dinner next. Until next time… this is how the slow cooker saved dinner. ❤️

MINI CRUNCHWRAP SUPREMES 🌮🔥 Taco Bell, respectfully… I’ve got this one. 👀
My homemade Mini Crunchwrap Supremes are loaded with seasoned beef, melty cheese, a crispy tostada, sour cream, then wrapped up and pan-seared until golden and crispy. They’re fun, family-friendly, and perfect for an easy weeknight dinner, Taco Tuesday, game day, or school lumches. And because they’re mini, you can definitely eat six. I don’t make the rules. 😂

My 5 Most-Loved Pastas, yours when you join
One Pan Questions, Answered
What makes a good one-pan meal?
Ingredients that cook in about the same time, cut to even sizes, and seasoned well. Give everything room so it roasts instead of steams.
How do I get crispy sheet-pan food?
Crank the oven, don’t crowd the pan, and spread everything in a single layer. A hot pan and a little space are the secret to golden edges.
Can I prep one-pan dinners ahead?
Yes — chop and season everything earlier in the day, then spread on the pan and cook when you’re ready.
What pan should I use?
A heavy half-sheet pan for roasting and a big oven-safe skillet for stovetop-to-oven dinners will cover almost everything here.
