Quick fix dinners are in the bag when you use your pal, the resealable plastic bag. I’ll show you how to make dinner a snap by putting prepped ingredients for three different entrees in a tidy bag and then refrigerating it till it’s ready to be cooked and eaten. Get this all done on Sunday so weekday dinners are a matter of opening a bag and throwing in an easy side dish.
Make one delicious pork loin and you’ve got a head start for a week of diverse and delicious meals. An ample pork tenderloin translates into fun Wonton Soup and easy Pork Fried Rice later in the week. Add a few quick sides and you’ll have a porktastic week!
A little chicken goes a long way when it comes to dishing up quick and easy meals. On Sunday, make a fast and simple stir-fried chicken and vegetable dish you can stretch into a Stew with Parsley Dumplings for another time.

After a long day you want dinner to be ready pretty darn quick! Robin shows you some weeknight meals that come together in a snap. In the mix are Robin's foolproof coconut shrimp.

What's for dinner? This week steak's the answer for two quick and delicious meals.

In this half-hour, host Robin Miller (nutritionist, author and host of Quick Fix Meals) meets with two families. First is Madeline, a single mother of two who is also a full-time student and has no time to cook properly for her kids, one of which is a very picky eater and was recently diagnosed with asthma. She is concerned that she is hurting them by what she cooks. Robin helps her fill the pantry with her "10 must-have" staples, and cooks a delicious chicken tender that introduces healthy alternatives and is a dish even the pickiest eater will love.
She then meets with Mike, a father of two who has poor eating and snacking habits, has gained 40 pounds and is concerned that he’s being a poor role model for his kids. They go to the store to show Mike new food choices, and they create new snacking and sauce options to inspire Mike to lose weight and change his habits.
It starts slow but finishes fast! The slow cooker is your friend when it comes to all day flavor that takes no time at all.
