After a long workday, I'm completely drained and struggle to muster the energy to cook, which leads to too much takeout. I need a repertoire of truly easy weeknight dinners that require minimal prep, use common pantry staples, and can be on the table in 30 minutes or less without sacrificing flavor. For other busy home cooks, what are your go-to, no-fuss recipes or cooking strategies that have saved you on those hectic evenings, especially ones that are easily adaptable for picky eaters or yield good leftovers?
