1) Pulled BBQ Chicken Sliders By A Paige of Positivity

This is one of those dinners that feels cozy without being too heavy for spring. The lemon and peas brighten everything up, and I especially like that it’s a one-pot meal that’s ready in about 30 minutes, which is perfect on a busy weeknight.

If you want something a little different from the usual salmon dinner, this is a good one to try. It has that creamy spinach-artichoke flavor people already love, but it still feels light enough for spring and works well for a simple dinner at home.
