We need something that can be made in 45 minutes or less when we get home from work. We have a crock pot and all the standard kitchen gadgets. All we lack is inspiration….Here’s what’s in our standard rotation - any other ideas?
- Grilled cheese and tomato soup
- Veggie omelet with biscuits
- Pasta with red sauce
- Pizza delivery
- Thai food delivery
- Indian food delivery
We definitely need help!
My cousin Maggie seems to have some ideas… yum!
One of our favorites is macaroni and cheese.
With practice, I think it will be possible to make a nice, reasonably nutritionally sound casserole in 45 minutes. I’m also a big fan of having something ready right when we walk in the door- sliced apples and cheese, for instance.
Tacos make a frequent appearance at our house when we’re pushed for time. I am also a big fan of crock pot meals. I make corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot a lot (which means reubens with the leftovers — 2 meals in one!). I also like starting with some kind of mix, but dressing it up a bit, like Zataran’s red beans and rice from a box, but adding sausage and fixing a veggie. (Admittedly, none of these options are terribly healthy…)
