Busy people everywhere face the same dilemma - how to get healthy weeknight dinners on the table when you've only got minutes to spare. Cookbook author, nutritionist, and food journalist Robin Miller guides us through the landmines of getting food on the table nightly with her stress-free meal planning strategies. Her easy, day by day plans help even the novice cook master these quick and tasty recipes.

In The Bag

Quick Fix dinners are easy when you're using resealable plastic bags. Robin shows you how to make dinner a snap by putting ingredients for three different entrees in tidy bags and refrigerating them until they're ready to be prepared.

Freeze!

The freezer can be your best friend when it comes to making dinner for a weeknight meal. Pork loin is a terrific freezer staple, and will yield enough to make two delicious dinners without much work. For dessert, dress up Frozen Yogurt with a Chocolate Peanut Sauce.
