I hate Mondays. I could probably find a gazillion memes about Monday dinner plans that you’d totally relate to.

Mondays at work are always a bit of a blur for me. The only thing that comes to mind is those endless meetings and a non-stop to-do list (it never ends, does it?). This means that by the time I shut down my computer, I’m too exhausted and I can’t even think about dinner. Not again, another night of not knowing what to eat!

It’s the same old story every week, and since my husband gets home later than I do, it’s up to me to come up with something. Thank goodness, I’ve managed by using some quick and easy dinner tricks up my sleeve that make Monday evenings go a lot smoother.

I’m embarrassed to say this but one of my simple solutions is to turn to that spaghetti dish with meatballs and sauce. Better than take out at least. I keep it real easy with pre-made meatballs that I just toss in the sauce while it simmers. This gives me time to catch my breath or sort through the mail instead of standing over the stove. Another go-to cooking up some ground beef, which I can use for a burger. I like to throw some sweet potatoes in the oven to bake them because it’s kind of effortless.

These dinners are quick to make, even quicker to clean up (because, let’s be honest, who wants to end a manic Monday by doing a pile of dishes?). Plus, you can save money from takeouts when you are able to come up with something quick and easy. So, if you think your Mondays are hectic and crazy, then you’re in the right place. I purposely created this blog post to share a list of the best quick and easy dinner ideas that are perfect for those busy and tiring Monday nights. I really hope you enjoy my picks!
