As a long-time fan of Nicholas Sparks, I’m excited about this opportunity to share my recipe for Chicken and Dumplings inspired by The Choice with you. It may not seem like a romantic dinner choice, but I think a date night should be comfortable, not fussy. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. #TheChoiceMovie #ad

Have you read The Choice by Nicholas Sparks? Well it’s now a movie coming into theaters on February 5th. It is about making difficult choices of the heart to find your destiny and perfect match in love. The main characters, Travis and Gabby, have to #ChooseLove to be together. It’s a great love story just in time for Valentine’s Day. Check out the trailer here. I’m a sucker for Nicholas Sparks books. Perhaps it’s because I’m a strong proponent of following your heart in love and life. His books are all about living in the moment, and seemingly always about choosing love. Of course, it doesn’t have to be romantic love, it can be the love of your children, or your work. Or chicken and dumplings. No really, wait until you try this recipe!

Savoring time together, like Travis and Gabby do, is the best way to show you love someone. This one pot meal is easy to put together so you don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing it. At the end of a long day, and with the kids hustled off to bed, it’s nice to unwind with an uncomplicated evening with your significant other.

Easy Weeknight Dinner Recipes:

from left to right:

When you don’t have a lot of time to prep a meal, plan ahead and make Slow Cooker Honey Chicken instead. The house will smell amazing and the kids will gobble it up!
Mini Shepherd’s Pie is a reader favor and super easy to make ahead. It freezes well also so it’s a great meal to make for a new mom or elderly loved one.
Chorizo Sheet Pan Dinner is delicious and has the least amount of clean up – just one pan, and it’s lined with foil! Prep the veggies a couple days ahead of time and then just grab them from the fridge when it’s time to pop it in the oven!
For a super fast weeknight dinner, I made Chicken Tortilla Soup. It’s full of big flavor and tastes amazing! This is another one that is lovely to make a double batch, and give to a friend that might be sick or needing a hand.
