Looking for easy dinner recipes? Did you ever have one of those days where finding something easy to cook was a must? You know the kind where you have to install an occupancy sensor switch in the bedroom, edit a video, go to the grocery store, take your daughter her shoes because she forgot them, and generally, make sure the house doesn’t fall down around you? I am not sure why, but I seem to be having more and more of those days lately and dinner is starting to take a back seat to everything else. After resorting to frozen pizza twice last week, I decided that something needed to give and I started searching for easy dinner recipes for those days when my schedule is absolutely crazy.

Easy Dinner Recipes
Since I just received this Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven a few days ago, I wanted to see what kind of easy dinner recipes I could make in it. The Apple Abracadabra Cake was so amazing that I knew dinner would be just as good. I decided to try this Baked Cheeseburger Pasta recipe except I left out the pickles and added mushrooms instead which turned it into a Baked Cheeseburger and Mushroom Pasta recipe.
