17 Easy Recipes for Daylight Saving TimeThese dishes are so quick and fuss-free, it won’t matter that you’re losing an hour

Ready to spring forward? Daylight saving time always comes around sooner than we expect, and while we never look forward to losing an hour of sleep, it at least means one good thing is on the horizon: a new season. While spring hasn't quite arrived, it's definitely on the way, and with it will come all the fresh, colorful produce we've been waiting for since we said goodbye to our beloved peas and rhubarb last year.

Until then, daylight saving time is the perfect opportunity to make one of our simple, speedy recipes. After you figure out how to reset all your clocks, toss a salad or whip up a sandwich for some quick eats. Or make a light meal with a little more flair out of Japanese soba noodles. Instead of grabbing fast food for dinner, break out your cast-iron skillet or grill pan and make your own burgers or go the Korean barbecue route with a batch of bulgogi. Here are our best quick and easy recipes to help recoup that lost hour when daylight saving time rolls around.
