5 Quick 15-Minute Meals For Work-At-Home Moms
|
|
Before we offer 5 quick 15-minute meals
for work-at-home moms, one of the ways you can decrease the
amount of prep time is to make a pot of red sauce and place
it in several containers; put the containers into the
freezer; and use them as needed.
Now; on to the recipes. |
1. Angel hair pasta and sauce. If you have already made your sauce
for the week or month, this is one easy and quick meal. Angel hair
pasta takes approximately 4 minutes to boil. Heat up the pre-cooked
sauce, and your family will have a delicious and filling dinner.
Don’t forget to top this dish off with some parmesan cheese.
2. Chicken and salad is another quick meal that you can prepare.
Broil chicken breasts for 15 minutes while making a delicious mixed
salad with lemon vinaigrette.
3. Lamb chops can also be quickly broiled and served with 10-minute
rice and a mixed salad. Preheat the broiler and within 10 minutes,
they are ready to serve.
4. Fish dinners are not only healthy, but can be prepared within 15
minutes. Whether it’s cod, tilapia, or fillet; this is a nutritious
meal which you can combine with rice or a mixed salad.
5. Remember that sauce you have in the freezer; take out a large pot
and add a can of low-salt chicken broth, cut up vegetables such as
zucchini, broccoli, a can of white beans, fresh mushrooms; add the
sauce and you have a wonderful vegetable soup that will be a most
hearty and healthy meal for the family.
There are so many variations to these recipes that you can
incorporate into your quick 15-minute meals. Most of the mixed
salads today can be purchased in bags at your local grocer, as well
as chicken soups that now come in containers instead of cans. The
meats in these meals can be purchased ahead of time and kept in the
freezer until you decide to prepare them.
Just take out the containers and meats before your work day
commences, and they will be ready to heat and serve by dinner time.
Tip: Place the wrapped meats in a pot of water and leave it in the
sink until fully thawed.
The ability to make 15-minute meals is all the preparation
beforehand. Even one of the most popular chefs on TV can only make
quick meals in 30 minutes. Therefore, think about making sauces,
chicken dishes, broths, and soups ahead of time and freezing them so
that your prep time will enable you to put together a quick and easy
15-minute meal for your family.
