Quick Recipes That Are Tasty As Well

By Peter Cook


Cooking can be fun and enjoyable, but only when you have the time when you can relax. On most occasions, you don't have a lot of hours in the day and this leaves little time to cook an elaborate family dinner. Most people will be working all day or attending to the children. The evenings are the worst because one needs to get so much done at once. Quick recipes are necessary, otherwise people tend to order fast food.

You will probably find that pancakes are not the best choice, no matter what meal you are preparing them for. However, crepes are great because they are paper thin. They are very easy to prepare, and you can add a saucy filling, such as Bolognese or mushrooms and bacon. These also make a quick dessert which don't pile on the calories. They can be filed with cinnamon and sugar or something more substantial. You can give your guests a scoop of ice-cream.

Smoothies are a great choice for breakfast as well as right throughout the day. They make a nice snack. All you have to do is to whizz up the ingredients in the blender. There is nothing more healthy than this. You can also have something which is more chunky in a bowl. Some people enjoy raw oats in a bowl with other fruits and yogurt. This can be a nice change to the same old muesli or breakfast cereal.

Banana and chocolate french toast may seem as if it needs to be on the go forever, but this actually comes together in no time at all. There are many more mouth watering recipes like this which are quick to make, and completely delicious at the same time.

Having something like a pack of stir fry veg along with some chicken in the refrigerator is a good idea. This can go very quickly. A hot pan is necessary. You will need the basic sauce recipe. A variation of this can be to add peanut butter or to think of serving noodles instead of rice. There are so many different recipes for stir fries around. It is great to experiment with this.

If you plan ahead, you will be on top of your game. It means that you have to take a couple of hours off during the weekend, for example. However, the rewards to come later on in the week, knowing that you have meals already prepared. People make different sauces and dishes. It can be tomato and pesto that you can whip up and put with pasta. You can prepare stews or casseroles as well as curries.

Things like salad and vegetables are always filling. However, people are put off by the more healthy varieties because they are less inspiring. One can become creative in the way in which you make salad, for example. In fact, you can make a meal of this. Some people use fruit, such as peaches, along with a good cheese, different kinds of leaves and nuts. Have nice dressings already prepared. This may go with ciabatta bread.

Kids who are picky eaters may not notice that the vegetables have been mixed together in one dish. However, one has to disguise this by blending it in. Other flavours will overpower things like green peppers and broccoli, so this is something that one should think of doing. You can do this with meatballs or with casseroles.
