Weeknight dinners should not have to take a long time to prepare. When a meal is quick and satisfying, you can still enjoy evening activities. This is made on the stove, so you don’t need to turn on your oven. With some creativity, you can also prepare this in other ways, using various herbs, spices, and vegetables. Get the family involved by having them cut the veggies or mix the spices. Have fun!
