Weekdays are most of the time hectic. We are running from work to pick up the kids, take them to sport or art, do quick shopping, and trying to sort out other ad-hoc stuff in between. What we really need for these days is quick and easy dinner recipes that are ready in no time with a minimum effort.

All the yummy drippings are trapped inside the foil, resulting in a juicy mix of meat or fish and veggies that don’t lose an ounce of flavor.
