It's easy to go on autopilot when planning weeknight dinners, sticking with recipes you know are quick, easy, and taste good to the whole family. But sometimes that leads to a rut where you get irked at your kids for whining, " Spaghetti? Again? " (even though secretly you feel exactly the same way inside).

From shopping there as a first-time homeowner to grabbing snacks for my kids as a new mom, Trader Joe's products have gotten me through each new phase of adulthood. For me, versatility is key, and I never know when my toddler's favorite food will become the mortal enemy of dinner time. So, it's great to have options. Luckily, these eight Trader Joe's items are easy to whip up into quick and easy weeknight dinners (with choices) that we all love.

Straccetti di manzo, or little rags of beef, is a quick, minimal-cooking steak salad ideal for weeknight dinners, emphasizing thin beef slices over side dishes.
