Dinner

As a busy mom and teacher, dinner has to be easy around here, and these are the recipes I lean on most nights. Many are one-pan, crockpot or 30-minute meals made with simple grocery store ingredients, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen after a long day. If you’re new here, start with my grandmother’s PA Dutch ham and string bean soup, the chicken pot pie made with crescent rolls that takes about 10 minutes to put together, protein-packed cottage cheese stuffed peppers or a dairy-free Tuscan chicken that’s ready in about 30 minutes.
