After well over a year of attempting to make three meals — and snacks — a day at home, we have fallen into a deep cycle of food fatigue. Too often, when it's time to grocery shop for the week ahead, we find ourselves racking our brains for ideas, falling back on the same mainstays, or heck, figuring we'll just have oatmeal for dinner this time. These five simple, summery dinner recipes recently came to our rescue, so we have a hunch they might be able to do something about your funk, too. Bon appetit!
Monday: Campfire Veggie Sausage Packets
In honor of meatless Monday, toss these no-mess foil packets of veggies, potatoes, and vegetarian sausages on the grill. No outdoor space? Use a grill pan instead. (via Brit+Co)
Tuesday: Instant Pot Carnitas

Wednesday: Lemon Chicken Skewers
Get your grill, grill pan, or a simple skillet ready to cook up these skewers, which incorporate both Moroccan and Greek flavors. (via Brit+Co)
Thursday: Roasted Salmon Nicoise

Friday: Indian Butter Chicken
This Northern Indian dish takes just 30 minutes to recreate, thanks to an assist from your Instant Pot. (via Brit+Co)
