I know I can't be the only one who gets into the thick of summer and suddenly has absolutely no idea what to make for dinner anymore, like I barely want to even step foot in the kitchen. It's waaaay too hot to turn on the oven, nobody wants a heavy meal especially after a day outside, but for some reason, everyone still needs to eat more than random handfuls of pretzels with peanut butter out of the pantry (although some days im perfectly fine with that). So here are a few easy meals I...

Hi friend! Mother’s Day is this weekend, and I’m just going to say it: if you are the mom, you should not have to be in the kitchen (unless you want to!), grocery shopper, cook, dishwasher, and emotional support snack provider this weekend. That feels illegal. Or at the very least.. a lil rude! So I pulled together a few easy Skinnyish Dish recipes that would be perfect for Mother’s Day weekend. Not necessarily fancy brunch with tiny flowers and linen napkins, because honestly, that is not...

Star from the skinnyish dish March 4, 2026 Hi hi 👋 Okay I don’t say this about everything… but these have been in my fridge on repeat lately. Like I make a batch, they disappear, and then I’m making them again. My girls love them, I love them, and Eric literally left half of one last night because he felt bad eating the last one. They’ve kind of turned into one of those go-to things I always keep on hand for when I realize I haven’t actually eaten anything all day (mom life 🫠). I’ve always...

Super easy, fast, filling, and still very much in the skinny-ish comfort food zone. Around here, quick does NOT mean boring. It means we're kinda thriving in survival mode and taking a few short cuts here. And that, is perfectly fine! On this week’s menu: Air Fryer Steak Bites Big flavor, barely any effort. These cook up fast and feel a little...

Tender seasoned chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, melty cheese, and pile it on a toasty sub roll… it’s giving full comfort food energy without super greasy regret. And the best part? This whole situation comes together in one pan in about 25 minutes, which means dinner is handled and your sink isn’t full of 12 different dishes. We love an easy dinner! Pair with some pickles and chips or bagged salad for a rounded out meal. MAKE THIS RECIPE The...
