10 Easy (Cheat) Dinner Recipes

Lately we have been trying to break out of the mealtime rut, you know when you find yourself realizing that for the past month you have had the same five meals every week — yep, that’s my house. In an effort to introduce some new flavors into our menu, I have been experimenting with meals that include a little cheat. They are mostly made from scratch, but in an effort to shave prep time they are based around something that is pre-made.

This is a sponsored post.

So far my experiments have been successful, which has led me on a search for more. Apparently Michelina’s has the same idea because they challenged a group of bloggers to put their own spin on a Michelina’s frozen meal. After looking over the recipes created by bloggers, I picked my favorite 10 recipes to share.
