INTRODUCTION

Busy calendars overflowing with lists of to-dos make getting a wholesome and delicious dinner on the table a constant challenge. Southern Living solves this problem in our test kitchens on a daily basis by creating recipes with just such schedules in mind. This book brings together some of our favorite dishes that can be prepared in either 10, 20 or 30 minutes. And we’ve even included a handy Month of Meals calendar to inspire different meals every night of the week for a month, so mealtime is always fresh and interesting.

There’s a little something for everyone in this helpful book—whether you’re trying to entice the pickiest of eaters or you love to entertain friends. On nights you have next to no time between home-from-work and the next event—there’s a great selection of 10-minute recipes to get dinner on the table lightning fast. Recipe flags show busy cooks at a glance how long a dish takes from start to finish. The calendar in the front of the book indicates recipe combos that go well together so you can make a quick main dish plus a dessert, or serve a soup with that hearty salad. There are ideas for comfort foods, pasta night, and dinners to share with friends, too. Quick-Fix Dinners proves that dinner made fast can be flavorful, satisfying, and, best of all, stress free.

ENJOY!
