    Main Dish Recipes

    Are you standing in front of the fridge trying to decide what to make for dinner?  Or on your way home from work and drawing a blank as to what to pick up at the grocery. Weeknights are always the worst for me, I'm tired from work and don't want to have to come up with something interesting that everyone will love for dinner.

    Half the battle is finding a recipe that I can put together without too much effort.  However, on the weekends, I love to spend a little more time in the kitchen. With over 130 main dish recipes to choose from, I'm confident you'll find a few that you'll make over and over again whether you're in a hurry or not.
