When Sunday afternoon rolls around, sometimes you don’t feel like making a big fuss for dinner. This is totally understandable, and while take-out is tempting (and necessary sometimes) why not make something quick and uncomplicated at home?

Here’s a few ideas I’ve rounded up to get you started:

• Cozy, tasty soups that come together quickly
• Shortcut ingredient ideas – hello store-bought rotisserie chicken 🙂
• Quick skillet pastas that don’t skimp on flavor
• Easy grilling and a special baked pasta with (hopefully!) leftovers for lunch
