Week One: 1 List, 5 Meals

The hardest part of getting homemade meals on the table is the planning. Leave the menu to us–Print our 30-ingredients or less Shopping List and head to the store. In less than an hour, you'll have everything you need to make five delicious dinners. Plan tacos for soccer night, chicken for a rainy evening, and pork chops for when the neighbors are coming over for dinner.

Bring exotic Argentine-inspired flavor to the table with a delicately-flavored chimichurri sauce made from fresh vegetables, dried herbs, and a little chicken broth. The chops marinate for two hours, but you can also make them ahead and freeze the uncooked chops in the marinade. Simply thaw overnight before cooking. Serve with Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato Fries.

Gather the kids in the kitchen and make the turkey patties, seasoned with garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and light teriyaki sauce. While you catch up, keep the assembly line going and make a few extra–any uncooked patties can be frozen for up to a month, making next week's repeat a snap. Steam a side of frozen mixed vegetables and serve.

Recipe: Quick-and-Easy Turkey Burgers

Make a quick-cooking, one-dish dinner inspired by slow Sunday lunches at grandma's. Cook the chicken, carrot, and onions for a few minutes in a skillet, then let them simmer with chicken broth, potatoes, and dry white wine until the potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes.

Let the kids play in the backyard a little longer while you make this top-rated shrimp dish. The combination of fresh pineapple and teriyaki sauce gives the skewers a sweet-tart flavor, and makes a delicious sauce. Serve over boil-in-a-bag rice to soak up any of the extra juices. If you don't have a grill, make the kebabs in your broiler.
