Hi again Reader 👋

This is a really special edition of Dinner = Done to celebrate the release of my fourth cookbook, EVERYDAY EATS! I hope you're not sick of hearing me talk about it because I'm definitely not sick of the love that I have felt from this community. You've already started tagging me in photos of recipes that you've made from the book, DM'd me with the ones that you're most excited to try, and told your family and friends about it. Never in a million years did I think I would be lucky enough to publish one cookbook, let alone four, and it's all thanks to you.

This week, I'm featuring not just five recipes but EIGHT dishes straight from the pages of EVERYDAY EATS, including a make-ahead breakfast, one lunch idea, and a bonus sweet treat! Consider this your go-to guide for what to start cooking from the book this week.

Scroll down to find all of the recipes, plus a downloadable grocery list that you can take to the store. Let's have a great week!👇

I love coconut shrimp as much as the next gal, but I'm not exactly a fan of the process of breading and frying each shrimp. It's messy and frankly, who has the time?! This weeknight-friendly version gives you all the same vibes as the tropical dish without all the work.

Meet the cover star! Think of this recipe as your favorite game day wings, deconstructed and served in a family-friendly format (complete with Brussels sprouts and lots of fresh herbs for a pop of green).

You simply cannot go wrong with this recipe. It comes together all in one skillet and takes just 30 minutes (I swear!). And once you try the spicy-yet-sweet orange sauce, you're going to be dreaming of all the ways that you can use it.

An old-school recipe with a Tex-Mex twist, this one-pot pasta is on regular rotation in my house. My girls love it—and I love that it's so much easier than making enchiladas!

An easy sheet pan dinner that has me dreaming of sunbathing along the Mediterranean coast! I love the slightly earthy, rich flavor from ground lamb, but feel free to make these with ground beef.

PREP THESE NOW!

I've published four cookbooks, but this is the first time I've ever included a breakfast section! I know a lot of you find yourselves stuck in a breakfast rut, so I'm here to tell you that these make-ahead, protein-packed sandwiches will save the day!

I love a good tuna salad, and this is my ideal recipe. There's nothing too crazy about it—it's just really good quality tuna, some crunchy veg, fresh herbs, and lemon juice for brightness.

If you have leftover coconut from the Coconut Shrimp Bowls, use it for dessert! This is a better-for-you alternative to the fun-size candy bar that you know and love—and I promise it will satisfy your sweet tooth!

Your Grocery List is Ready!

Everything you need for all 8 recipes — organized by store section to ensure that your shopping trip is easy and efficient.

Hope you have the most delicious week! As always, tag me @thedefineddish when you make these — I love seeing your creations. 🤍
