quick easy dinners

We do tacos (no recipe needed) and we do a lot, and we love san choy bow too!

You only need pork mince (please eat free range pork!), coriander, mint, shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, spanish onion, and glass noodles, sesame oil, and iceberg lettuce.

Cook the pork in a fry pan with a tiny bit of salted water. Chop everything else, and juice the lime. Throw the pork in with the salad mix, and toss well. Wrap it up in the lettuce leaves and eat!

I always have dried or fresh chili on mine, and some people like fried shallots and or roasted peanuts too but I've never tried that.

Daniel's more the master of the quick meal (and slow meal) around here. If I'm in a hurry I generally grab a frozen stew out of the freezer, and add beans/rice etc as needed.

I love when we have frozen food waiting to go! Some Sunday's Adam and I spend the day cooking so that we don't have to cook for the next week or so. We make all sorts of things, soup, pastam roast chicken and veg, then we use the chook bones for stock, bread, and other stuff too.

Not exactly a quick meal but I love roasts; I can organise them early in the day and set my oven to come on at the right time, and it cooks itself while I'm working in the afternoon/bathing DS etc.

And less work, IMO, than a casserole because you don't have to saute everything first to get a decent flavour.

I'm also a big fan of my rice cooker, and I've gotten into meat & veg a lot lately. If you don't mind the meat plain it's ok.

Yeah, slow food is great, it's the same as fast food Whack it in in the morning, eat it at dinner time. And it tends to cut down on washing up too, which is always a factor for me! It's even more an issue coz Spikee doesn't eat real food, so I often end up cooking twice.

Tonights dinner will be quick and easy coz I did the hard work this morning I crumbed free range chicken drumsticks (flour, egg and milk, the whole bit) and they're resting in the fridge ready to bake this evening. With that we're gonna have salad with tamari and sesame dressing, it's a pre-made organic dressing - costs a packet, tastes so good it's worth it.

What are YOU having for dinner tonight?

Adam bought me a griddle!!! It's like giving a new meaning to quick and easy! You slice stuff, throw it on, and it's ready FAST! Yesterday we made roasted vegetable pizza with kumara, eggplant, spanish onion and red capsicum, with pesto, and home grown herbs. It was YUMMMMMYYYYYYY! And fast

Anyone got a good fast dinner to share with us?

We did some work at the community garden yesterday, and came home with some garlic, spinach, shallots and basil that we then made into a omelette! Love our community garden!

tell me how it works, I really love that idea!!!
