Life can be demanding. Between jobs, school, kids, family, social obligations and hobbies, you don’t always have time to put a meal on the table. Instead of heading for the nearest drive through, check out this compilation of over fifty 30 minute dinner ideas.

Each of these recipes can be prepared from start to finish in less than half an hour. Don’t think just because these 30 minute meals are quick that they aren’t big on flavor. I feed each of these 30 minute dinner recipes to my own family and they are definitely kid approved.
