I am , born with a love of slow roasting long cooking flavors, dark red all day tomato sauces, cakes that have 9 layers and take days to prepare, and Italian dinners that serve 30 and take 2 days to prep.
That was until about a year ago. I found myself in a different situation than ever before. I became an incredibly overwhelmed stay at home/work from home mom. Taking care of all my obligations did not seem to leave me hours to prep for long dinners, much less time to cook them. I needed a change.
30 minutes! That is the perfect time for me. From the time I set foot in my kitchen, I give myself 30 minutes to have dinner on the table. Sometimes if I am lucky, I even have the kitchen cleaned while dinner is in the oven.
Here are 30 meals that you can have on your plate in 30 minutes or less! You need a list like this when you have kids, carpools, play dates, work, homeschooling or whatever keeps your schedule full. This is literally a different meal every day for a month! All ready in half an hour or less.
Dinner's Ready!
With love from our Kitchen Table to yours. XOXO
