I love the fall season – it always represents the start of a new “year” for me, even before my kids were in school! It’s my favorite time of year and the kids love it too. Feels so good to get back into somewhat of a structured routine – and that means making easy, delicious weeknight meals that everyone loves. Even if you’re not in back-to-school mode where you are, it’s always nice to get back into the swing of things with a bunch of fantastic dinners.
And especially with meals that don’t take all day to make. Below you’ll find a bunch of our favorite dinners; ones I love to throw on our menu plan during the week. If you plan on trying one new thing a week, these recipes below will last you over ONE YEAR!
I’ve shared posts in previous years with the best back to school meals and I reference it constantly for easy weeknight meals. So here’s a little inspo if you’re in back-to-school mode… or if you feel super rejuvenated by the approaching fall season like I do! You can also find me on instagram cooking up all these recipes, step-by-step, just for you!

I LOVE these type of posts. I refer to them often when stuck in a rut. Thank you for putting them together!
Thank you for this! I love that many of our favorites are on here! I’m looking forward to trying more recipes too because I really need to step up my game this fall, I was soooo lazy with dinners this summer.
I’ve made some of these already and they’re always a hit with my family! I added more to list to make though! Oh and just a friendly fyi, the link for the vodka sauce meatballs w/ricotta toast takes you to a different recipe- baked ravioli with burrata (which is also now saved lol). Double win!
Thanks for the interesting article. I work as an editor for a student magazine and I often don’t have enough time to prepare tasty and healthy meals. When I write my reviews, it even seems to me that the suffering that the heroes of tragic works experience is less than what I experience when I try to cook. When I wrote the medea essay for https://paperap.com/free-papers/medea/ , I was worried about the main character, who had to overcome great difficulties. I see myself in this role. But you give interesting recipes that don’t look complicated and yet the food looks cheap. I’ll try to try it, thanks.
Thank you for this! I will be coming back to this often as school starts!!! All the heart eye emoji’s.
Just fyi, the shells and broccoli link takes you to a ravioli recipe :)
Hi there,
Just letting you know most of your links need updated – everything I clicked took me to the burrata recipe.
