Fast Meals

Here are some recipies for meals which are quick to prepare (15 minutes or less). Email your recipies to me,

, so I can add them here.

Get Take-out or Delivery!
Use the gas grill outside, quick, easy clean up, you can cook while kids play outside.
Prepare large portions and eat leftovers or freeze for another day.
Spend the extra money to get boneless meats, thin slices, pre-marinated meats, pre-cut vegetables, pre-washed/cut salad greens, etc. You can get frozen chopped onions and other vegetables to save time and effort - they're always ready when you need them in the freezer.
Make grocery shopping fun! Whole Foods has child-sized shopping carts, carts with extra kid seats attached, and lots of bread samples if the kids get hungry.
Buy non-perishable grocery items on work days during lunch break, so you only need to schlep the kids to shop for the cold stuff.
