Dinner Plan
Caroline Campion
(Author)Description
Between juggling work, family activities, mismatched schedules, and often bare refrigerators, there are all sorts of situations that make weeknight cooking a universally challenging--and frustrating--experience. The Dinner Plan offers five meal strategies--Make-Ahead, Staggered, One-Dish, Extra-Fast, and Pantry--that will help get dinner on the table no matter what the workweek throws at you. The 135 recipes--from main dishes to sides to salads and "lifesaver" condiments--provide lots of practical options whether time is super-tight, you haven't had a chance to run to the store, or everyone is coming home at a different time.
And most importantly, all of the recipes are "keepers"--brag-worthy, reliable, crowd-pleasing preparations that you'll confidently turn to again and again. Shrimp Scampi, Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas, Foolproof Carbonara, and Mexican Skillet Lasagna are just a few examples of doable recipes that will earn their place in any busy cook's repertoire. Rounded out with plenty of tips and a bonus section on healthful snacks called The Forgotten Meal, The Dinner Plan is every home cook's indispensable weeknight dinner guide.
