30 Minute Meals

More Ways to Search: Recipe Index

These 30 minute meals are total lifesavers. With over 300 quick and easy dinner ideas to choose from, your weeknights just got a lot easier!

Fast dinners don’t have to be flavorless. Take my Skinny Cashew Chicken or my 15-Minute Honey Garlic Chicken, for example. Each recipe takes almost no time at all to throw together, yet they’re both mouthwateringly good!

Sometimes the quick and simple meals are the best ones, not only because they’re easy, but also because they’re kid-approved. This Cheesy Chicken Orzo and Easy Grilled Pizza Recipe are a couple of our favorites.

No matter what your day is like, one of these 30 minute recipes is sure to fit into your busy schedule!
