From my Instagram posts about dinner/meal times, a super simple blog post is at your service listing some suggested meals for everyday. Also, have linked recipes for the ones I regularly make and like (these are also linked in my ‘cooking’ highlight on Instagram).

You can read more details here about why this blog post is happening: About how we plan meals and what the individual meals look like.

We do mostly non-vegetarian so the majority of these suggested options will be unfortunately non-veg. If you’re a food blogger, feel free to leave your everyday star recipes in the blog comments (please double check for ingredients, cooking timings, etc).

My favorite recipes (not favorite items) are STARRED with *.
