More Than Just an Easy Dinner

Back Pocket Dinners are the meals I reach for on busy weeknights, when I don't have a plan, or when I just need something I know everyone will eat. They're made with simple ingredients, don't require a lot of fuss, and have earned a permanent place in my recipe box.

This collection is full of those dependable recipes - the ones you'll find yourself making again and again.

Why I Started This Series

I've always believed the best recipes aren't necessarily the fanciest ones. They're the meals that get passed around at family gatherings, scribbled onto recipe cards, and made so often you barely need to measure anymore.

That's what Back Pocket Dinners are all about—building a collection of recipes you can rely on, no matter how busy life gets.

Want to know how this whole Back Pocket Dinners thing started? I wrote a little more about why I decided to start keeping track of these meals and how I use them when I'm planning our week.
