Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Need a little dinner inspiration that doesn’t involve scrolling for an hour or pulling together a full meal plan?

That’s where these Mix & Match dinner ideas come in.

If you’ve been juggling busy evenings (or just plain tired of the same old dinner routine), this is your reminder that a great meal doesn’t have to be complicated.

Three mains.

Three sides.

Pair them up however you like and call it a win.

Whether you’re into grilling, keeping things fresh, or want something comforting - there’s something here that’ll hit the spot.

The Mains

This juicy grilled cut needs just three ingredients and a little time, proving simple really can be delicious.
A citrusy, marinated classic that’s cooked on the grill and turns out tender and full of flavor every single time.
Seasoned with a homemade mix that takes it to the next level, this grilled steak hits the sweet spot between special and low-effort.

The Sides

Tender and just charred enough, this seasonal veggie grills up quickly and goes with pretty much everything.
Crisp, tart, and a little sweet, this hearty salad brings texture and brightness in the best way.
Creamy and comforting, this kid-approved side dish is made fast in the Instant Pot.

No rules here - just mix, match, and serve up something that works for your night.

Warmly,
Taryn

P.S. My 45th(!) birthday is Tuesday, and yes, there will be a sale in the shop. Go take a peek now and see what you want to grab when it drops!
