Friday Four 2: Easy Skillet Dinner Recipes + Life
Hello and happy Friday! Welcome to this week’s Friday Four. Today I will be sharing four ridiculously easy to make Skillet Dinner Recipes. But first, I want to give you a little peek into what went on in my world over the past week.
The most important part of the week: BBQ Day. Yes, we had another one of those. And we’ve been stuffing our faces with food like this all week.
Ken woke up early on Sunday and fired up the smoker. He seasoned some baby back ribs and a big ole Boston Butt. I sure do love the look and smell of meat cooking on a smoker.
Right around lunch time the ribs were ready. This was a good thing because I was starving. I think I had only eaten a bowl of cereal that day and I walked 4 miles shortly after devouring said bowl of cereal. A girl’s gotta eat so a girl’s gotta exercise. So those ribs, they came off the smoker around 1pm. They were gone by 1:30pm. I’m not even kidding. Ken and I ate all of them by ourselves.
Bye bye, tasty ribs.
When we do BBQ, I make a ton of tasty sides. This time around I made mac n cheese, my Tangy Red Potato Bacon Salad, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and creamy coleslaw. I also made a ridiculously good dessert that I will be sharing soon.
The rest of the week was sorta meh. I went back to work on Tuesday. I ate leftovers all week. I watched TV. I’m sure that detail has filled you with excitement, right?
So let’s get onto those easy skillet dinner recipes. If I hadn’t been eating leftovers all week, I probably would have made one of these recipes. Easy to make. Tasty to eat. Your family will love them! Enjoy.

Hi Julie – All of these skillet recipes look delicious! I took another look at your low-carb recipes, and printed a few.
Can you please give me an idea of how many carbs are in your Paleo chili. I need to drop a few pounds, and the gym alone is not doing it. Thanks! :)
Hi Joanne! Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the skillet recipes. For the chili, I entered the ingredients on a nutrition calculator site and came up with 9g of carbs. Most of that came from the tomatoes, since tomatoes do contain natural sugar. I updated the recipe to include the nutrition ingredients. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Have a great weekend. :)

Oh my, I wish I was able to cook ribs and pork butt like that!
