Sometimes dinner needs to happen quickly, but takeout isn't practical or doesn't appeal. Do you have a half an hour? Can you plan a little ahead? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, then get ready for a fantastic dinner in minutes!

It's that strange time of the year when you need a warm jacket in the morning and a pair of shorts by afternoon. The seasons are dancing and unsure which should be taking the lead. It can be a frustrating time, but it's also filled with beauty. Delight in it a bit with a scoop of ice cream that blends spicy hot cocoa flavors with the chill that lingering summer requires.
Sometimes, the difference between a nice grilled chicken dinner and an out-of-this-world grilled chicken dinner is the grilling sauce. So this time around, I'm sharing a sauce that's so good, you'll want to eat it with a spoon. I now want to grill chicken every week … and I can!

Pasta might not seem like a very summery option unless it is starring in a pasta salad. Well, have no fear, it can definitely be just what summer ordered when it's loaded with grilled chicken and a spicy, smoky cream sauce.

If you love the flavor of buffalo wings, but are looking for something slightly less messy and time-consuming to make, look no further than a delightful blend of chicken, onions, and pasta in a creamy, buffalo spice-laced sauce that will have you reaching for seconds.
Your crockpot holds the key to a fantastic way to make a simple, spicy chili. Depending on what kind of salsa you use in the recipe (yes, I said salsa), it can be hotter or milder. It's also great if you just add the two turkey drumsticks from Thanksgiving dinner and peel and shred the meat and remove the bones before serving. As holiday shopping, entertaining, and decorating roar into full swing, recipes like this are great time and sanity savers!
