9 Easy Recipes to Make When You Don't Know What to Cook

Quick Tater Tot Bake

I enjoy whipping up this cheesy tater tot casserole when time is tight before dinner. It serves two to three people, but if unexpected guests drop by, I simply double the ingredients and use a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.

Quinoa Unstuffed Peppers

This deconstructed stuffed pepper dish bursts with flavor. It's a staple in my kitchen, and I always ensure my freezer is stocked with single-serve portions to take to work. Rebecca Ende, Phoenix, New York

Po'Boy Tacos

Originally intended as tostadas, a misinterpretation of ingredients led me to create my own twist on a po'boy recipe, resulting in something even more delightful.

Everything Bagel Chicken Strips

Capturing the essence of everything bagels, I've recreated their flavor with classic breaded chicken fingers. Enjoy them with your preferred chicken finger dip.

Open-Faced Turkey Sandwich

These charming suppertime sandwiches are the epitome of comfort. They're a simple solution for using up leftover turkey, with the thick toast soaking up the creamy sauce perfectly.

Caesar Chicken with Feta

My tomato-infused chicken is the ideal answer for hectic days when dinner needs to be on the table in 30 minutes or less (and it's incredibly delicious, too).

Breaded Mustard & Sage Pork Cutlets

Given a complimentary package of instant potatoes at my daughter's back-to-school night, I decided to craft these fantastic pork cutlets.

Lemon Cream Chicken

For a quick, easy, and elegant entrée, look no further than this dish. The irresistible lemon cream sauce pairs beautifully with the chicken and mushrooms.

Whole Grain Chow Mein

My picky eater kids adore teriyaki and hoisin sauces, especially when paired with meatballs. I opt for whole grain pasta instead of noodles for added nutrition.
