Quick Dinner Ideas – Need to get dinner on the table fast? Don’t have time to prep a bunch of stuff or stand around cooking for 45 minutes? Here are 20 quick dinner ideas that you can get on the table in 15-30 minutes!
Getting dinner on the table during the week can be a challenge sometimes. Everyone is busy and running around, getting home at different times, having practice, or games, or a million other things. So dinner needs to be done fast.
I don’t like to rely on take out, or drive through on those nights, I would rather still have a home cooked meal. Now, sometimes that isn’t always possible, but with a little planning most of the time it is.
Today I am rounding up 20 of my favorite quick dinner ideas, so you can get dinner on the table fast! Nothing takes over 30 minutes from start to finish, and some of them are only 15 minutes. You can do this!! Which ones do you want to try first?
