Beautiful meals don't always have to take a long time to prepare. All you need is a plan and a few good ingredients. During the week, the slow cooker is our best friend. Toss your ingredients in and when you come home dinner is ready (try this Slower Cooker Fajita Style Chicken recipe). A dash of liquid smoke (like in this easy Sweet-N-Smoky Salmon With Ginger Mahogany Rice) can take the place of that smoky BBQ flavor without firing up the grill. And, little is better (or easier!) than Mussels and Clams in White Wine (shown) with a crusty garlic bread to soak up the broth. Read on for more delicious and easy dinner recipes for any night of the week.
