When you have the right ingredients, it doesn’t take much to make a tasty meal, and these impressive three-ingredient dinners (not counting basics like oil, salt and pepper) prove just that. I love how these easy dinners use key ingredients (like pre-prepped veggies, ready-to-use proteins and flavorful sauces) in creative ways to deliver a week of really delicious, balanced dinners. With such an effortless approach, I can get these dinners on the table in no time, which is exactly what we all need during the busy week.

Tuesday’sChicken Caesar Flatbreadis a crowd-pleaser since it combines two favorites—pizza and chicken Caesar salad. “Pizz’alads” were a trend back when I first started working atEatingWelland while it didn’t stick, I personally love the combo! The cozyRoasted Red Pepper Soup with Chickpeason Wednesday and the satisfyingSweet Potato & Brussels Sprout Hash with Chicken Sausageon Thursday carry us to Friday’sBlack Bean Fajita Skillet. This Tex-Mex bowl is a regular in my house, and while three ingredients are all you need to create this dinner—black beans, Southwest-style seasoning and pre-prepped fajita veggies—there are a number of other toppings you can add from there. Think cheese, avocado, sour cream and more. Yum!

I’ve been loving my after-dinner treats lately, but in an attempt to end my night with something a little healthier, I’m going to make a treat that skips the added sugar altogether. TheseNo-Sugar-Added Oatmeal Cookiesare made with naturally sweet bananas and dates, so they still deliver that sweetness I’m craving without the sugar rush.
