10 Easy Weeknight Meals You Need to Work Into Your Dinner Rotation

Maybe it's just us (though we're willing to bet not), but this time of year, the meals that come out of our kitchens begin to look a little monotonous. Chicken cutlets, taco night, spaghetti, and repeat! We've all got a lot going on, and with kids and parents alike getting ready for the back-to-school routine, the last thing we want to be doing is scouring cookbooks for inspiration.

From a chicken tamale pie to an easy way to introduce shrimp to your kids, we think that you'll agree that these all deserve a spot in your rotation.
