Main Dishes

Dinner never goes away...am I right?? Every single day we've got to figure out how to get dinner on the table for our family - whew.

That's why I am always trying to find quick and easy recipes to keep my family well fed. Because my guys are big carnivores, I try to have lots of MEAT recipes here on my blog.

I like to use my Instant Pot on a daily basis, so you'll find a lot of Instant Pot meat recipes here on my blog.

Instant Pot Sticky Chicken Thighs are super flavorful and fast, just like Lazy Butt Beef Subs.

Country-style Asian BBQ Pork Ribs is a favorite sheet pan recipe and Sausage Potato and Cabbage Sheet Pan Dinner has been a big hit, too.

If you're a fan of skillet meals, be sure to check out 2 Minute Garlic Butter Sizzle Steak and Fiesta Ground Beef and Noodle Skillet.

I hope you'll find many recipes for easy main dish meals that your family will enjoy right here on my blog. Let's Get You Cookin'!
