Delicious Dinners | 30 Minutes Meals or Less for back to school! Family friendly and fast these dinners don’t lack flavor. Bonus? You can make them in 30 Minutes or less!

Even though I’ve found it incredibly difficult to stay on-task and focused while they’ve been at home, I’ll miss this enormously. We’ve had a great summer, I wish their summers were longer. I wish they never had to go back! wahhhhhhhh, sniff, sniff. 

Dinner in 30 minutes or less

    What a great roster of dishes. Nice and varied. I don’t have kids anymore, but I am a working woman who like to eat tasty food, but doesn’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen on week nights. So 30 min recipes work for me.
