This was one of these last minute made up recipes with me just trying to use up fish and other ingredients in the fridge. It is easy and you likely have all the ingredients in your fridge now!

Parmesan Fish
We really don't make fish often enough. I forget to buy it, and just don’t always think about it. And we do make it, I am always trying new recipes like this one! It was really good and gave it something extra by having the breading.
Chicken Fajita Casserole
One evening a while back I invited my parents over for tacos. My mom had actually already started the process for this fajita casserole so she just brought it over, and I stole the recipe! It is super yummy and nice change to regular fajitas.
Jalapeno Popper Chicken
For me, this is one of those Pinterest recipes you see and wonder if it will really taste as good as it looks in these pictures. Well thankfully it did. I did make a few adjustments due to my pork allergy, but it still tasted really great and wasn’t too spicy at all!
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables
I love a good one pan meal, but those are hard to come by for me. Either it is a casserole which I don’t always love, or it just simply doesn’t sound good. Well this one is super easy, and I love that it uses chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken!
Tilapia with Avocado Cream Sauce
I think this recipe may be my new favorite fish recipe. It can be made with almost any fish (the recipe I found was originally for salmon, but we didn’t have any, so we used tilapia). And it is low carb and high protein.
Chicken Lo Mein
I found this chicken lo mein recipe on Pinterest awhile back. It was really good, but pretty carby so it isn’t something we have often at all! But if you aren’t watching your carbs, give it a try.
Tilapia with Lemon-Parsley Sauce
This is a pretty quick and easy recipe that you likely have the ingredients for already! You can swap out the fish if you aren’t a fan of tilapia too. And it’s healthy - approximately 140 calories!
Salsa Fresca Chicken
I found this recipe one night while skimming Pinterest for some dinner ideas. I liked that it was a chicken dish, but it was something different and pretty easy. Brad claims it was his idea (Remember salsa fish?), but this is different and better in my opinion. Next time I would make fresh pico de gallo and invest in the cilantro. Brad isn’t a huge fan so I didn’t get any. But it was definitely missing it.
Cashew Chicken Bake
A while back, Brad traveled out of town for a week for work. I always try to go out or cook things he normally would not eat. Well one thing he absolutely hates is peanuts. Well any form. So I found this cashew chicken recipe. It seemed like something I would never cook for him, and it seemed like something I could eat on for more than one night while he was away. I did leave a few things out as always though.
Poppyseed Chicken
The first time I had poppyseed chicken was when we ordered from Alabama Bliss. I wanted to remake it, but we had quite a bit of leftovers to work through in our freezer first. I finally made it a few weeks ago, and I really liked how it turned out. I think what we had from Alabama Bliss was much better, but I feel like foods are almost always better when someone else makes it, ha!
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
So back when we used to go to PF Changs (aka before Melody), I loved ordering the chicken lettuce wraps. They are fairly healthy (in comparison to the other menu items), and they taste amazing. Brad hates them though. Well one week when he was out of town for work, I finally decided to try and make them at home for dinner. They were great! They were also much easier to make than I expected. I may try making them again and freezing them for lunches. I have made some before, but they weren’t near as good as these.
Cheeseburger Stuffed Bellpepper
Stuffed bellpeppers always look amazing to me. I would see them at Costco, and I would always want to get them. But it never made sense to buy them from Costco because there were way too many in a package for us to eat. I have made something similar called bell pepper boats. They were decent, but I am not a huge fan of cooked bell peppers. I am not sure why I made the stuffed bellpeppers for this reason. But the filling was actually pretty good. And it is fairly healthy. Brad loved the entire thing. So if you like cooked bell pepper then this will be for you. The only thing I left out of the original recipe was the pickle relish. Brad hates pickles so I knew this was not an option. Next time I would also leave out the mustard. It was overpowering throughout the meal. But we also aren’t huge mustard eaters.
Salisbury Steak
I found this yummy Salisbury steak recipe on Pinterest a while back. I have made Salisbury steak before, but this is probably the best I have ever made. And the gravy portion is to die for. Pair it with mashed potatoes, and yummy!!!
Shrimp Scampi
I never think about cooking shrimp at home for some reason. I have made shrimp scampi a few times though. Publix had shrimp on sale a few weeks ago, so I decided to make it again. Here is the recipe I use.
Hidden Valley Simply Dinners
I recently discovered this breading kit when scrolling through the Ibotta deals. It looked interesting, and since Brad and I make baked chicken so often, I thought it would be nice to mix things up.
Gourmet Grilled Cheese
We have been trying to find a good meal to have during the week that Brad can eat before mowing the grass. We didn't want something super heavy, so Brad came up with a fancy grilled cheese. We loved the old gourmet grilled cheese from Atlanta Bread. They no longer have it though. So I googled and combined a few recipes to come up with the one below.
Chicken Parmesan Casserole
I love chicken parmesan, but it isn't always the healthiest considered it is fried chicken. Well I found a healthier version on Pinterest recently, and I decided to give it a try. It was surprisingly great. And the noodles are totally optional if you want to make it a bit healthier.
Patty Melts
As I have mentioned before, Brad loves patty melts. I made some breakfast ones a while back that were pretty good but pretty bad for you. Well I feel like these are not quite "as" bad for you. They are still full of butter, but you could probably find some healthier alternatives if you really want. I could not eat more than half, but Brad was able to finish the entire thing. Just a word of warning!
Roasted Chicken
I found the roasted chicken recipe from the American Diabetes Association website. We wanted to find another way to cook chicken and while I was scrolling through their recipes I ran across this one.
