Soccer or ballet night? Have to work late again? It can be challenging to get dinner on the table on a weeknight when you are rushed for time. Canadian Living's Quick and Easy dinner ideas incorporate tricks to speed up supper preparation. Choosing lean portioned cuts of meat like pork tenderloin, and cooking with vegetables, are great ways to cut down on time at the stove. Ready-made convenience products help to get a home-cooked dinner on the table on even the hairiest nights of the week. Having staples on hand in your pantry offer shortcuts when time is at a premium. These recipes take advantage of ready-made polenta and flatbread, jarred roasted red peppers, prepared stocks and frozen shrimp and peas to get a delicious meal on the table in less than 30 minutes.
