    Your meal planning is sorted with this collection of 20 minute dinner recipes! There's something for everyone in this list from healthy one pots to simple comfort food.

    On a rare occasion I'm in the mood for spending hours in the kitchen on a weeknight but the vast majority of the time I want quick, simple and delicious meals with minimal hassle. 

    Everyone has a different standard for what they're looking for on a weeknight. For me, on a really good night, I can be sitting down to dinner by 7. Those nights are the ones that make me the happiest.

    And for that to happen I need 20 minute recipes. And I need a lot of them. 

    So for purely selfish reasons I decided that the only thing to do was to round up a selection of all the best 20 minute recipes so that I'll always be able to sit down to dinner by 7. 

    I hope this list helps you make all your weeknight dinner dream come true too!
