    Dinner Ideas for Two

    If you are looking for dinner ideas for two people, this is the recipe collection for you.  This tender beef chuck steak recipe served with these roasted baby potatoes and a simple green salad is a restaurant-worthy dinner without leaving the house.

    If you love salmon and have an Instant Pot, this Instant Pot salmon recipe includes asparagus so your dinner for two is ready in under 15 minutes and in one pot.

    Also included are recipes that are written for four but can be easily divided in half, such as thick cut pork chops. As a bonus, I've included recipes that make great leftovers you won't get tired of such as these baked chicken leg quarters.
