Busy days call for relaxing evenings--a chance to enjoy a leisurely dinner and catch your breath. But you don’t want to deal with a fussy meal, which is where these easy recipes come in. If you’ve stocked up on the ingredients for several of these dishes, you’ll find getting dinner on the table is no trouble at all. It’s even a nice way to unwind a the end of the day.
Wraps, burritos, burgers, and calzones contain speedy dinner fixings in one package, while simmering chicken thighs, assembling a baked pasta dish, or preparing a pot of stove-top macaroni and cheese leaves time for the other things while supper cooks. Accompany any of these dishes with a salad, and enjoy.

Flour tortillas
Dry breadcrumbs
Potatoes
Onions
Garlic
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Sun-dried tomatoes (oil- and dry-packed)
