Even if you love to cook, it can be a struggle to get a home cooked dinner on the table every night of the week. Especially when you have kids. Especially especially when it’s summer and every day is jam-packed with things to do and it’s nice out and you just don’t want to be stuck inside cooking. (Am I talking about you, dear reader? Or myself? Maybe a little of both.)
But that doesn’t mean dinner has to come from a box or a drive-thru. These 20-minute meatless weeknight dinners come together even faster than the time it takes to hop in the car and pick up carryout.
