Easy dinners I’m making this week (plus a cookie we can’t stop baking)

I’m back with what’s on my meal plan this week—nothing fancy, just cozy, simple recipes that make dinnertime feel a little easier (and maybe even something to look forward to for those who don’t loveeee cooking).

Whether you need a new weeknight dinner idea or just an excuse to brown some butter for cookies (hi, same), I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what’s cooking this week:

🍝 Chili Crisp Alfredo Pasta
This one’s viral for a reason. It’s creamy, spicy, and feels way more exciting than a regular pasta night—but still comes together in under 30. I use whatever chili crisp I have on hand and load it with grated parm.

🍅 Juicy Turkey Meatballs in Tomato Basil Sauce
These are so tender, thanks to a little milk-soaked bread magic. Simmered in a garlicky tomato basil sauce, they’re great over pasta, rice, or on a hoagie roll if you’re feeling it.

🌮 Baked Chicken Tacos
My go-to when I don’t want to stand at the stove. Just fill taco shells with a simple chicken + bean mix, top with cheese, and bake. Crispy edges, melty middles, no mess.

🥗 Erewhon Kale & White Bean Salad
Inspired by the overpriced grocery store salad I low-key love. It’s lemony, garlicky, and surprisingly filling. Massaging the kale is key—don’t skip it. I’ve been adding avocado when I have it.

🍪 Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are dangerously good. Browning the butter adds this deep, nutty flavor that makes them feel a little extra. Gooey in the middle, crisp at the edges—basically perfect. We ate half the batch before they even cooled.

I hope this gives you a little kitchen inspiration for the week ahead. If you make any of these (or just go straight for the cookies), I’d love to know how it goes. Tag me on Instagram —I love seeing your kitchen wins
