Weeknight Dinners & Fast Flavorful Meals

Hundreds of recipes by Andre Thompson – weeknight dinners, breakfasts and snacks.

Profile:

Most of Andre Thompson's recipes are dinners: weeknight dinners such as lemon cream fusilli with smoked turkey, one-pot Italian sausage orzo, chicken quinoa meal prep, banh mi sandwiches with pan-seared chicken and pickles, and a Thanksgiving-ready Instant Pot turkey breast. Many of them are designed to land on the table in about 30 minutes, with Southern and Creole seasoning running through the pantry staples and everyday ingredients.

Beyond the main course, the collection reaches into breakfast and brunch with spicy Mexican breakfast potatoes, sticky rice with sausage and avocado egg toast with pickled onions. It also covers appetizers and lunches, including mini chicken pot pies with puff pastry, prawn summer rolls and frozen chicken wings cooked crisp in the air fryer. Homemade sauces, dressings, seasoning blends and quick pickles show up often, because a good condiment can change a plain meal.

What ties it together is practicality: short ingredient lists, clear steps, realistic cook times and ideas for swapping what you have on hand. Browse Andre's recipes when you want a dinner with some personality that still fits a busy evening.
