After a long day at work, it can be quite the hassle to come home and spend hours making dinner for you and your family, then doing the dishes right after. But, cooking a quick and easy meal can still be just as fulfilling and delicious for the whole family.

Try out some crockpot recipes! The slow cooker is really an amazing kitchen tool to have. Throw all of your ingredients in, and let it cook low and slow. A great meal will be ready as soon as you get home! Some recipe ideas include chicken & dumplings, pot roast, chicken parmesan, and more! 

Another way to reduce dinner hassle is to use fewer dishes. Clean up with ease with a one-pot dinner recipe! From pasta dishes and casseroles to sloppy joes and mac-n-cheese; one-pot dinner meals are an easy and delicious way to save time when it comes to weekday dinners.

No matter how you decide to cut down on time for dinner, either before or after, what’s important is having more time to spend with those loved ones around you.
