Savory Experiments

Dinners + Entrees

It is the most common question in any household: what is for dinner? Even homes of one will have an inner monologue asking themselves this very important question.

Italian Beef Braciole

Main entrees and dinner ideas that are quick, easy and super tasty. From traditional to one-dish to families and dinner for one, we have you covered!

If you are like me, you’ll think about it all day. I literally plan my whole day around food. It is what keeps me motivated to keep up with daily tasks.

Food is my fuel, but also my biggest joy. Calories wasted on a subpar meal make me sad, so I have dedicated my life to making delicious recipes that can be served for many occassions, but for right now, as entrees.

Easy Beef Goulash

We’ll cover all the major proteins, 30-minute dinner recipes, meal prep and even casseroles. And if you still can’t decide, hop on over and check out my favorite game: recipe roulette.

Dinner Ideas with Chicken:

Whether you want to make baked chicken, grilled chicken or fried chicken, drumsticks or breast, we have a recipe for you. No more boring chicken recipes!

  • Instant Pot Chicken Paella
  • Greek Chicken Kabobs
  • Smothered Chicken Burritos
  • Creamy Asiago Chicken
  • How to Roast a Chicken

  • Homemade Sloppy Joes
  • Southwest Meatloaf
  • How to Pan Sear a Steak
  • Beef and Rice Casserole
  • Tropical Beef Tacos
  • Stuffed Flank Steak

Dinner Ideas for Pasta:

Pasta is one of my great comforts in life. Whenever I think about these fade diets that exclude pasta, I know I wouldn’t be able to do them.

Most of these pasta recipes use traditional pasta, but feel free to substitute with gluten-free, whole wheat or other alternative types.

  • Shrimp Scampi Recipe
  • Creamy Lemon Pasta
  • Broccoli Chicken Alfredo
  • Thai Shrimp with Glass Noodles
  • Green Chile Chicken Lasagna

  • French Onion Pork Loin
  • Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops
  • Pineapple Pork Curry
  • Apple Spiced Pork Tenderloin
  • Pulled Pork Stuffed Pretzel Rolls

Dinner Recipes Using Seafood:

Seafood ranges from fish to shellfish and then onto mollusks and crustaceans. Due to the supply and cost, seafood has a reputation for being a special occasion meal, but it doesn’t have to be. My seafood recipes are filled with tips for finding good, fresh seafood, but at a good price and pairing it with other items for a filling meal.

  • Shrimp Kabobs
  • Stuffed Lobster Tails
  • Seafood Stew
  • Pesto Salmon
  • Baked Halibut
