For many of us, making dinner is an afterthought -- especially after a long day of work. A healthy dinner is just what you need to recharge, but that's easier said than done when there's rush hour traffic to get through, a hectic supermarket to navigate and the need to muster up the energy to get off the couch. A good game plan helps, and that usually starts with a deliciously easy and tasty recipe.

Good news! We have 37 of those kinds of recipes for you right here, right now. Now all you have to do is get off the couch.

You're welcome.
