Raise your hand if you’re still camped out at home. (Same, friend.) This week, we’re bringing restaurant-quality meals to your dining room table—but they don’t take a million years or require a billion ingredients. Homemade fish and chips to the rescue.

Monday: Instant Pot 2-cheese Pasta With Cauliflower
To get us through the beginning of the week, quick and easy comfort food is the name of the game. (Think eight ingredients and 30 minutes.)
Tuesday: Pork Milanese With Cucumber Yogurt
We’re loving On the Line, a new digital cookbook featuring recipes from restaurant chefs from around the country that benefits LEE Initiative’s Restaurant Workers Relief Program. On tonight’s menu: crispy pork from sous chef Tyler Kenny of the Brooklyn, New York restaurant Hart’s.
Wednesday: Baked Fish And Chips
If you’ve never made fish and chips at home, now is the time. And with only ten ingredients and no deep fryer required, we think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by how low maintenance they are. Pass the vinegar.
Thursday: Chopped Italian Salad Pizza
Homemade pizza on a Thursday? We’re going there, and we’re getting a little help from store-bought dough.
Friday: 30-minute Creamy Chicken, Corn And Tomato Skillet
You could make this tasty skillet any time of year, but when tomato and corn is in season, it’s *chef’s kiss.* Serve with a spring salad or crudités.
Saturday: Spicy Shrimp Tacos With Mango Salsa
In an ideal world, we’d live at the beach and eat fresh seafood by the ocean every night. Until our dream becomes a reality, we’ll settle for these tacos. Close your eyes and you’re on a tropical vacation.
Sunday: Orecchiette With Spring Greens
Make a double batch so you’ll have leftovers for lunch next week. (Oh, and if you have young kids, you can modify the veggies depending on their level of pickiness.)
