While Ina Garten may only have eyes for Jeffrey, the rest of the world has eyes for the dishes the Barefoot Contessa [1] seems to easily whip up in no time.
Dinner is the time where families sit around and talk to each other about their days, or the time where they gather on the couch and bond around a television show or even a game. For singles, it may be their downtime, whether cooking for themselves or savoring the meal and the quiet that comes with it. Dinner looks different in every household, but one thing is for certain — we all want the most delicious meal we can have in the least amount of time we can spend prepping and cooking.
Well, as usual, Ina is here to save the day [2]. Check out this roundup of some of her best — and easiest — dinner dishes and see if you can keep your mouth from watering.
