70 Quick & Easy Dinners

Earlier this month I told you how I was saying NO to the drive thru. I pledged to not pick up fast food on my way home from school, ballet, soccer, PTA, etc. We are about half way through October and I am still going strong. Woo! How have you done?

I shared 15 recipes to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less and I promised I would be back to share more recipes to get you motivated to skip the drive thru too. Boy am I delivering on that promise! I asked some of my fellow food bloggers for their favorite quick and easy dinner recipes and in total I have gathered 70 different recipes that will get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.

There are no more excuses! You can do this! Today’s round up is full of all different recipes inspired by cuisines around the world. There should be a little something for everyone here, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, paleo are all represented in this round up.

I hope you enjoy!

  1. Wow! What an amazing roundup! No one should ever have the excuse of “l don’t have time” anymore!! Sharing! And thanks for including several of my recipes!!

  2. Thanks for all the suggestions with links Jaime. There are several I’d like to try. I’ve been avoiding fast food like the plague for several months now. Home cooking is by far better. Slow cooker and easy meals have saved me more than once.

  3. I’ve been buying lunch and eating out or sandwiches all week – no good excuse after seeing this list other than needing a trip to the grocery store! And thanks for featuring my recipes 🙂
