Weeknight dinners can be stressful to plan, especially if you work late or have kids' schedules to work around. We have all been there and it's tough to make a fresh and delicious meal on those crazy days. A busy schedule has made me realize more and more that having simple meals is the real answer to the stress of weeknight dinners. Also looking for dinner options that use just a few ingredients, makes life easier. In this case we like to call it the half-homemade approach.

The half-homemade approach is just great dinners that are easy to throw together because half of the work is done! In these recipes we used Summer Fresh's refrigerated sauces, like Mushroom Marsala and Chicken Butter, alongside fresh cut veggies to help add flavour to these simple weeknight meals.

By using the half-homemade approach you can save time and spend more of your evening outside the kitchen catching up with your family or just watching your favourite TV shows. These easy recipes will keep meals from being stressful and keep you out of the kitchen longer!
