It’s my birthday week (!) so naturally I pulled together a meal plan filled with some of my personal favorite recipes — all comfort, all easy, and all delicious. From my famous Baked Ziti (a weeknight win every time), to my cozy Indian Butter Chicken, to the Funfetti Birthday Cake that’s quickly becoming a family favorite— this week’s lineup is full of recipes I truly love.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just trying to make dinner doable, I hope you love this week’s plan as much as I do.

Indian Butter Chicken
Our second most popular recipe in all of Recipe Club. A super easy traditional Butter Chicken that rivals any restaurant.
Apple Cheddar Grain Bowls
Sweet crunchy apples, paired with sharp cheddar cheese, crisp greens, hearty chicken and a creamy sweet balsamic dressing making this bowl irresistible.
Sheet Pan Chicken Parm
The EASIEST way to make Chicken Parm. Completely BAKED amazingly crisp-tender chicken parmesan for the entire family!
Loaded Sweet Potatoes
Stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect healthy weeknight dinner! Loaded with zesty black beans, diced avocado, and creamy yogurt sauce.
Baked Ziti
My most popular recipe in Recipe Club! It’s been made thousands of times and is my go-to for an easy comfort food dinner that everyone at the table will be so excited to eat.
Funfetti Birthday Cake
A semi-homemade celebratory cake that starts with a boxed cake mix and is doctored up to make 3 perfectly moist layers finished with smooth homemade buttercream and extra sprinkles.
