Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinners
Juggling work and family, plus school and social obligations, can make dinnertime a challenge. Getting a tasty, wholesome, home-cooked meal on the table is sometimes beyond our capacity. That’s why we love having these quick dinners in our back pocket.
When you’re short on time or energy, give these recipes a try. We’ve compiled options with minimal prep time or the convenience of cooking in a single pot, pan or skillet. Some recipes fall into multiple categories to give you plenty to choose from.
You’re sure to find some weeknight MVPs to add to your menu rotation.
Quick Dinners
We chose these recipes for their simple prep and fast cooking times. They should get you from fridge to table in less than 30 minutes.
One-Dish Wonders
Not only do one-dish dinners usually come together quickly, but they also make cleaning up a breeze. (Well, more of a breeze. It’s still cleaning, after all!)
Minimal Prep
These dishes rely on premade staples such as pizza dough and tortillas to help dinnertime go more smoothly.
Make-Ahead Meals
Just as overnight oats are great for headache-free breakfasts, these dinners (and a breakfast-for-dinner) can be prepped ahead of time or reimagine leftovers, so all you need to do is heat and serve.
We hope you find some winners for your weekly menu and that these recipes take a little stress off your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most ¾ food and family!
