I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t have a lot of time to spend making dinner, and I certainly don’t have the patience. While I love having a home-cooked meal every night, spending hours cooking is just not happening.

The quicker the recipe, the better!

Here are some recipes that take 20 minutes or less so you can have more time eating and less time cooking!

20-Minute Thai Green Curry Fried Rice

Thai green curry fried rice is the best fast-track flavorful side dish you can make.

This is a dish that comes together in just a few minutes, so get your ‘mise en place’ ready by prepping your alliums (garlic and shallot) and chili, and defrosting frozen veggies under some running water OR prepping whatever fresh ones you choose.

This dish comes together in mere minutes with some chopped garlic, shallot, and chili sizzled in some vegetable oil to start off the flavor on the right foot.

Shakshuka has long been one of my favorite “I don’t know what to make” meals.

No matter what, I always have some spices, garlic, onion, and canned tomatoes on hand, and I almost always have fresh eggs as well — so I find myself making shakshuka pretty regularly.

This farofa is super simple to make. It requires one vaguely obscure ingredient – cassava flour – but that is readily available for gluten-free baking so you’d be surprised that you can probably find it easily online or at a health food store near you.
