Dinner

We started with a jar of store-bought sauce but bypassed the usual Italian seasonings in favour of a spicy blend of cumin, paprika and cinnamon.

Lilly prefers serving this tantalizing beef dish at room temperature.

This speedy family dinner with Spanish flair is a true flash in the pan: Zucchini and tomatoes cook alongside the chicken in 15 minutes flat.

Our succulent side of salmon - which requires a mere 15 minutes of roasting - gets dressed for spring in a fresh-tasting vinaigrette made while the fish is cooking.

Bottled spice blends are a time-pressed cook's best friend. Our Southern-spiced salmon gets added zing from Dijon and a squeeze of lime.
