    Quick & Easy Dinner Recipes

    You can never have enough quick & easy dinners - for busy weeknights when you just need to get dinner on the table, or for a dinner party where you don't want to spend the whole day in the kitchen.

    Lucky for you, we've got your back. We love quick & easy dinners! And this is where you'll find all of them, in one place. From pastas like a 15-minute Salmon Créme Fraîche Pasta to Oven-baked Lamb Chops with Veggies and Lemon Pepper Salmon - these recipes are all either super quick, or easy to just dump in the oven to cook themselves, or both.
