Let's say you're stuck doing really important things, like beating a level of Candy Crush. It's not that you don't look at the time. It's not that you forgot. It's much worse . You look at the time all the time. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm getting late. I'm coming. Delicious. One more and I'm up. Oh, how late it is. Big, striped candy, big, striped candy. What do I cook? I think while I play. Sugar Crush! Super candy breaks everything.
You look up and your family is standing in front of you. Your children are staring at you with bloodshot eyes. They're starving zombies . You couldn't break the Jell-O. You don't know what to cook. No one is sending you lives. Those people are about to attack you.
Don't despair. Here's a selection of six quick dinners for every taste— easy budget-friendly recipe compilation, which includes a super-interesting list of easy meals you can make at home on a budget.

Roquefort pasta
Exactly 20 minutes
As I explained in the post, this is the authentic fast food recipe in my house. It's one of the easiest and most delicious quick dinners I know. I make it in exactly 20 minutes, from the moment I open the refrigerator to the moment I sit down at the table.
2. Broccoli and cheese cream
express soup for a winter night
This soup isn't exactly light, as it has quite a bit of cheese, but it's not a heavy meal either. Let's call it a light dinner, although it's not quite that...
3. Pork in vinegar
easier, impossible
When it comes to quick dinners, this pork in vinegar takes the cake. It's a hearty meal that uses few ingredients and is incredibly easy to prepare. The result? Try it and tell me, it's one of my favorite meals.
By the way: this is an old video with poor sound and, as you can see, I'm dressed in haute couture. The recipe is really worth it, which is why I'm posting it.
4. Pizzas on pumpkins
light dinner
My quick dinner collection can't be complete without a light option like this one. These fake pizzas are made on pumpkin slices. They're filling, delicious, very healthy, and my son could make them.
5. Fish in an oven bag
a single step
There's something magical about the oven bag: you put everything in there, seal it, and a perfectly cooked meal pops out. That's the idea behind this oven-baked fish bag, a quick, healthy, and filling dinner.
6. Rice and tuna salad
Classic classic
A hearty salad is another quick dinner option I like the most. They're healthy and we don't go to bed feeling heavy. This one in particular has mayonnaise, but you can replace it with olive oil.
