Whether you love to cook or your relationship with cooking is of the love-hate variety, we can all use more easy, no-fuss dinner ideas. Some nights there’s just not time to clean up after a labor-intensive cooking session. Check out our top ideas for this month below.<\/p>\n

Option 1: No Cooking<\/h1>\n

The lowest fuss option is to not cook at all. Here are a couple of ideas for eating in without cooking.<\/p>\n

Rotisserie and More<\/h2>\n

The supermarket rotisserie chicken is a tried-and-true favorite. You can usually find an entire roasted chicken for $6-10. It’s flavorful and moist, and it’s more meat than two people would generally eat at dinner. That means leftovers for lunch!<\/p>\n

For a complete meal, pair your roast chicken with a couple of sides from the deli counter. This no-fuss dinner option allows you to eat at home, and it’s far cheaper than eating out.<\/p>\n

Give the Freezer a Second Look<\/h2>\n

Frozen entrees have come a long way. It’s not just TV dinners and chicken nuggets anymore. If you haven’t looked in a while, check out today’s selection of prepared, frozen foods, especially at higher-end grocers like Whole Foods. You’ll be amazed at the quality and the variety.<\/p>\n

Option 2: No-Fuss Cooking<\/h1>\n

It’s possible to cook an easy, no-fuss meal at home. Here are a few ideas.<\/p>\n

Slow Cooker Meals<\/h2>\n

The slow cooker is a time-tested way to create no-fuss meals. Cheesy bacon ranch chicken<\/a> is one tasty slow cooker casserole that’s simple to make. With cheese, bacon, and ranch, you can bet kids will love it, too.<\/p>\n

Another slow-cooker favorite is slow cooker chicken burrito bowls<\/a>. This recipe is a homemade take on your favorite fast-casual burrito joint’s burrito bowl, and it couldn’t be much simpler to make.<\/p>\n

One-Pan Meals<\/h2>\n

One-pan meals like this lemon thyme roasted chicken thighs<\/a> taste great, but better still, they confine clean-up to just one pan!<\/p>\n
