    Regular Effort Dinners

    These are the dinners I make when I have a solid chunk of time and I’m not rushing out the door. Maybe everyone is home, or at least I’m not playing taxi. They may still use shortcuts, but there are usually a few more steps, like chopping vegetables, making a sauce or having a couple things going at once.
