Every Monday, our editors bring you Simply (Weeknight) Recipes, five quick and easy dinner recipes to make this week.
My family is planning a big move abroad—7,000 air miles and two-ocean skips away, as my kids like to say. I’m sorting out where we’ll live and the school my 7th, 5th, and 2nd graders will attend. The list of things to figure out before we go is long, but what stresses me most is how I’ll feed my family in our new home.
Because we’ll only be gone for one year and shipping our belongings overseas is expensive, I’m leaving behind all my cookware, kitchen tools, and gadgets. I’ll outfit our new kitchen with essentials, but I’m unmoored by the idea of not having my favorite skillet, air fryer, and cutting board handy. Even the ingredients that line the grocery store shelves will look different. What will our weeknight dinners look like in someone else’s country?
I’ve been encouraging my children, who are anxious about going to a new school and making friends. Just like me, they have the jitters, and together, we’re navigating the anxiety and being open to opportunities for growth. Who knows… maybe I’ll return with new weeknight dinner recipes in my back pocket.
For now, I’m still in my kitchen—for me, an oasis—and here are five familiar weeknight dinners I’m making this week, including tips from our contributors.
