Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lemon butter pasta with tomatoes

    • courtney_wuqvpw on March 01, 2026

      This was fantastic. Plenty of garlic and butter. What’s not to like?

    • courtney_nb7i83 on March 01, 2026

      Our family loves this. I used less tomatoes due to family preference and it turned out great.

  • Italian herb chicken bites

    • courtney_wuqvpw on March 01, 2026

      I used dried herbs and chicken tenderloins. This might’ve been better with fresh herbs and chicken thigh meat as the author recommends. It wasn’t bad - just not something that stood out or was loved enough to make again.

    • courtney_nb7i83 on March 01, 2026

      This was ok. I used chicken breast and dried herbs and it could’ve benefited from fresh herbs and some spice.

  • Chicken Parmesan meatloaf

      Err on the side of less lemon zest, it can get overwhelming. Adding a cup of grated carrot and zucchini worked well.

Cooking from Scratch as Simply as Possible

The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook is the perfect way to get dinner on the table quickly and easily with recipes for tasty main dishes and flavorful side dishes, plus a sprinkling of sweet treats. The recipes in this book are made from scratch and each chapter conveniently separates them by cook time: 15–25-minute meals, 30–45-minute meals and 5–10-minute prep (meals cook on their own in the slow cooker or oven).

Looking for dinner ideas at the last minute? Your whole family will love Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites, and they’re on the table--start to finish--in barely fifteen minutes. If you have just five minutes now and you need dinner in a couple of hours, prep Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf and dinner will be ready when you are. Want a delicious slow cooker meal you can start now and have ready to eat tonight? Try Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork and pile the juicy pork into sandwiches, burritos or a tempting taco salad. With a few extra minutes but little effort, you can wow your family or guests with Creamy Balsamic Skillet Chicken or Red Chile Beef Enchiladas.

Whatever your occasion, there is a recipe here to help you get a fresh, great-tasting meal on the table in no time. Each entrée provides notes for side dishes as well as tips for adapting the recipe. Many recipes are gluten-free or suggest gluten-free substitutions. With this cookbook, preparing a homemade meal can be simple and stress-free, even on nights when you only have a few minutes to spare in the kitchen.
