Spring Into Flavour: Fresh and Easy Dinners for Busy Weeknights

As spring blossoms and the weather warms up, the hustle and bustle of daily life often picks up as well. School runs, work commitments, and social events can leave little time for preparing nutritious dinners. But just because you're busy doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the quality or taste of your meals. Spring is the perfect time to embrace light, fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques that allow you to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort.

At Dinner on the Table, we understand the needs of busy families. That’s why we’ve put together a collection of meals that not only highlight the best of seasonal flavours but are also quick and easy to prepare. Here are some of our favourite options that make weeknight dinners stress-free and satisfying.

Roast Chicken with White Wine and Mushrooms

Roast Chicken with White Wine and Mushrooms is a perfect springtime dish that brings a touch of elegance to your dinner table without the hours of preparation. This meal combines tender roast chicken with the deep, rich flavours of white wine and sautéed mushrooms. The white wine sauce adds a brightness that balances beautifully with the earthy mushrooms, creating a dish that feels both hearty and fresh.

Whether you’re enjoying it as a quick family dinner or serving it for a casual gathering with friends, this dish is a surefire hit. Pair it with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables to complete the meal in no time.

Sesame Chicken Balls

For a quick and kid-friendly option, try our Sesame Chicken Balls. These crunchy, bite-sized chicken balls are coated in sesame seeds, giving them a delightful texture and flavour. They're perfect for picky eaters and can be served with a variety of sides or dips, making them a versatile choice for busy weeknights.

You can pair them with a light cucumber salad or some steamed rice to round out the meal. And because they’re so easy to prepare, they make an excellent go-to option when you're pressed for time but still want to serve something delicious.

Smoked Salmon and Chive Quiche

Quiches are a springtime staple—they’re light yet filling and are perfect for showcasing fresh ingredients. Our Smoked Salmon and Chive Quiche combines the smoky richness of salmon with the bright, tangy flavour of fresh chives. The result is a dish that feels indulgent but is deceptively simple to prepare.

This quiche makes an excellent dinner option when paired with a crisp green salad. It’s a fantastic choice for those evenings when you want something that’s both elegant and easy to prepare. Plus, leftovers make for an excellent lunch the next day!

Vegetarian Bean Chilli

For those seeking a hearty, plant-based option, our Vegetarian Bean Chilli is a fantastic choice. This chilli is packed with protein-rich beans and flavoured with a robust mix of spices that bring warmth and comfort to any spring evening. It’s a one-pot wonder that’s filling, nutritious, and perfect for families looking for a meat-free dinner that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Serve the chilli with rice, crusty bread, or even a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese for a complete meal. It’s also a great make-ahead option—defrost a package overnight on a Sunday and have it ready to go for Monday night..
