Quick & Easy Summer Dinners
I love to cook, but I don't like slaving over a complicated meal that requires washing a multitude of dishes. Dinner just doesn't need to be complicated!
If you feel the same way, I've rounded up 20 easy summer dinners and linked them below. They include minimal prep (most of which can be done in advance), and they take 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish.
And I promise that clean-up will be kept to a minimum!
Are you interested in a weekly meal plan? If so, hit reply and let me know!
