Labor Day has come and gone, and we’re back to school and back here to grind into five weeknight dishes. I’m always with dinner recipes for busy people (that’s you). But in honor of September and the transition to new schedules and routines that come with changing seasons, I’ve created a new list of 100 recipes for you to try in the coming months: Weeknight 100if you will
You will find five recipe highlights Weeknight 100 Below are these fantastic recipes that capture the principles of the list – they’re easy to make, and each one has an idea, technique or twist that makes it especially clever and delicious.
I also have exciting news to share: This month, we’re launching a new newsletter Dinner tonightWhich delivers a quick, easy recipe to your inbox Monday through Thursday around 4:30pm (when the question “What should I make for dinner?” starts popping into our heads). The first Dinner Tonight email goes out on September 16; Sign up for it here.

You have enough decisions to make. Let us help you decide on dinner. That includes reaching me anytime [email protected]. I love hearing from you.
1. Spicy Roast Chicken with Tangy Yogurt Sauce
For this recipe, Kay Chun was inspired by the halal carts you can find on the streets of New York City, where the dust and aroma of spicy meat entices passers-by. He uses chicken here and drizzles it with a quick-made curd sauce – the undisputed star of the dish.
2. Dumpling Noodle Soup
Frozen dumplings are top-tier convenience foods; Whether you steam, fry or boil it, it always hits the spot. Hattie Louie McKinnon adds them to this hearty bowl of soup, which is described as vegetarian but can be made with chicken stock instead.
3. Cheesy Baked Pasta with Sausage and Ricotta
A big hug of cuisine, this recipe from the inimitable Melissa Clark takes a little longer to cook than the others here, but it’s made in one pan and requires almost no chopping. One commenter, Logan, had this to say: “Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, minute for minute – this is the tastiest recipe on the NYT.”
4. Poached salmon with mustard and lemon
Another dinner idea from Melissa, but this one is as easy and quick as can be. It’s a great recipe for the novice cook, but even experts know this is a winner.
5. Easy Burritos
It’s hard to top the cheesy, salty smush of a burrito at the end of a long week. This recipe from Ali Schlegel is easy to customize (for example, make it vegetarian), and you can make the filling ahead and refrigerate or freeze it.
