You Tell Us: What's Your Favorite Quick and Easy Dinner?

We're seeking your favorite get-it-on-the-table suggestions for an upcoming series on great meals. Bonus points if it's delicious and local.

 

I, like most people in Sonoma, love an elaborate dinner, made with time and care (maybe using a recipe!) and local ingredients.

But, between my somewhat time consuming job and other personal obligations, most days dinner is perfunctorty; I rarely have time to cook something new and inventive.

That's why, most weeknights, you can find me resorting back to my old standby: pesto veggie rice. It's adapted from this recipe, and is perfect for a number of reasons: It's got enough veggies to feel healthy, enough cheese to make me happy and with a little prep, it's on the table in under ten minutes. 

But there's gotta be better weeknight cooking going on, so we're putting it to a crowd: What's your favorite quick and easy dinner. Share the recipe in the comments and/or upload a photo to the article by clicking 'add.' Or, e-mail the recipe and photo to alexis.fitts@patch.com
