Easy Fast Dinner Recipes – A Quick Read
By myarticlenetwork | August 1, 2009
In the golden days of TV moms who stayed home all day vacuuming the house while wearing pearls, cooking special meals, and doling out wise advice to the kids when dad wasn’t around, meals could take all day and could involve intricate steps. That wasn’t just on TV, it was a reflection of real life. But the 21st century world is one of amazing technology and lives that are much more fast paced. Mothers, and fathers who now take on a large part of the cooking chore, look for easy fast dinner recipes that can get the same TV mom results with a lot less real person effort. The Pilgrims didn’t have a good source for such simplicity in food, but they didn’t have the Internet either. There are a lot of sources on line to provide help to the busy family looking for a quality meal.
One steak can go a long way. Rotating the sides leads to a different meal experience each day. Change the spices for a trip around the world of food. Begin the adventure with a super large flank steak. For Monday add roasted potatoes and a tossed salad. On Tuesday add some spices and a little salsa for a taste from south of the border – make it steak Fajitas. Rice, some Teriyaki sauce and steamed vegetables make Wednesday an Asian day. Make Thursday like Monday, but change the potatoes to mashed and throw in some asparagus. Friday is the day for some pita bread and Greek spices. That’s right, Gyros. That’s one meat for five meals.
Want more easy fast dinner recipe ideas for that steak? OK, get the plates and forks ready. Try southwestern steak, corn, and black bean wraps; enjoy steak, sun-dried tomato, and mozzarella couscous salad; give mixed bean salad with flank steak a whirl; how about lentil and orzo salad with flank steak and feta cheese; and finally we have steak salad wraps with horseradish sauce. Now add another meat, and the variety is even more endless. Chicken can be fried, broiled with potatoes, cut into strips and added to salad, or cooked into a soup with noodles or dumplings. Talk about meals.
Do the cooking on weekends then serve the food throughout the week. Plan an entire menu for a month then buy all the necessities for some good savings too. In fact, these menus and meals can also be a great learning experience for young people. Give the children the chore for a week. Rotate days amongst the family.
And you thought easy fast dinner recipes were hard.
