Dan’s trying hard to lose weight: he’s exercising more, cutting down his portion sizes and drinking less beer.

In July and August, I never seem to have enough time in the evenings after work to do everything I want to do. So dinner recipes that are ready in 20 minutes or less are my go-to.

Here are a few of my favorite speedy summer recipes that can be prepped in 20 minutes.
