About Dinner
Dinner is usually the biggest meal of the day. It often centers on a main dish like roast chicken, meatloaf, pasta, stew or a casserole, with sides to round it out. It is the meal many families share together.
Compared with lunch, dinner recipes are heartier and may take a little longer. Slow simmering, roasting and baking are common here. You will also find fast skillet and sheet pan meals for busy nights.
Questions folks ask
