Dinner doesn’t have to be a major production. In fact, the best dinners are those that take as little as 15 minutes. Using fresh, high quality ingredients turns a simple dinner into a restaurant quality dinner. Find a local farm and stock up on meat. The quality of farm fresh meat surpasses your grocery store meat in both texture and flavor.
