quick dinner
Speedy evening food
A quick dinner is a meal that can be prepared and eaten in a short time, typically under thirty minutes.
The phrase implies convenience over elaboration—something thrown together on a busy weeknight rather than a planned occasion: I'll just make a quick dinner before the meeting.
Quick dinners often involve simple ingredients, leftovers, or takeout.
