All proper I admit I do not usually like to cook, particularly when time is short and we have run behind since of what appears like endless errands and such. Whilst it would be a lot simpler to just run by way of a drive thru on occasions like this, I hate undertaking that specifically when it comes to supper.
What I have carried out is to hold on hand the components for three or 4 meals that I can "whip up" in a short amount of time, without possessing to run to the grocery retailer.
Depending on the tastes and size of your loved ones you might have other concepts for rapid meals but these are mine.
1. Chicken and Noodles.
I make my own noodles, they are super straightforward and they freeze effectively. If you think anything, you will seemingly hate to compare about two story shed. I frequently triple the batch when I am creating them, given that I am going to have noodles drying out on my table anyway I may as effectively do a bunch at once and throw a couple of bags in the freezer.
When I boil a chicken it is just as straightforward to get a huge pot out and do two or 3 and freeze some of it. You can even freeze the broth if you have room in your freezer.
So when time is brief it is not difficult to grab a bag of chicken, a bag of noodles, and either some frozen broth or a couple cans of broth and whip up homemade chicken and noodles.
I typically serve chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes, and in case I don't have any potatoes I preserve a box of dried mashed potatoes on hand as well.
Easy and tasty meal that can be completed in about 20 minutes.
2. I usually have a pound or two of cooked ground beef in my freezer. That way I can whip up a casserole, goulash, taco's, or throw some chili into the crock pot. I usually season some for tacos and put it in the freezer also. It can be used for taco salads, tacos, or for a treat some meaty nacho's.
3. I confess I keep a handy box of hamburger helper in my pantry too. My daughter's favored these days is the double cheese quesadilla.
4. That cooked frozen chicken in the freezer can be turned into a chicken salad or with a little seasoning some fantastic chicken fajitas.
5. Particularly in the summer season I keep some frozen hamburger patties on standby to just throw on the grill for a fast meal that the little ones love.
For side dishes fresh veggies and fruit is great. And I often open a can of peaches, pears, or fruit cocktail to go with my meals.
Bear in mind if your are browning a pound of hamburger for a meal it is just as straightforward to do 2 or 3 pounds and place the further in the freezer for future use.
So choose out four or five simple meals that you can do the preparation ahead of time for and hold them stocked up. Then on the days you didn't make a meal program or run short on time just whip it with each other, it beats hitting the nearby drive-ups and is a lot much less pricey and a entire lot healthier.
