With all of us cutting down on “plans” and spending a lot more time at home, I’ve been loving to cook recipes that are super easy and delicious– but that feel like a little step up from the everyday pasta or slow cooker tacos. These are the recipes that make an average Thursday feel like Date Night, but are still simple enough and quick enough for a weekday sitch.
One of my favorite elevated weeknight recipes has always been my Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops! This one is all about the super simple but DELISH marinade. You just throw them on the grill and sear in that amazing flavor. I like to pair them with Sautéed White Beans for a really healthy and protein-rich meal. I pour a beautiful, ice cold glass of Sancerre with this and feel like I could be on vacation…without the baby monitor on the table next to me, of course. LOL.

I’ve recently discovered cooking with anchovies and it’s amazing so I’m excited to try a marinated with them. On a side note, we made your one pot sausage rigatoni dish and the recipe was spot on and so delicious. It’s on permanent rotation now.
Yay this makes me so happy! xo
Recipe looks delicious, I will try it this weekend! Where did you get the gorgeous black/cream placemats??
They were from Crate and Barrel!
