There is a time and place for a meal over an hour to make, but can dinner ideas be made in 30 minutes or less? Now we talk…
Today, I’m sharing recipes (by category) from our archive, quick and easy without sacrificing taste.

Taco soup is easy to make with multiple “dishes” would be a repeat meal idea in every household, in my opinion.
Sometimes a soup needs something extra — like tortellini. Especially cheese tortellini in tomato soup. Yum!
I really recommend this 10 minutes creamy tomato soup, also. It has a “secret ingredient” that makes it dairy-free, but you’ll never know.

The seasoning and (cooking method) of this dish Stir fried spaghetti squash recipe will make you think you are eating real noodles.
