Quick Recipes Which Make Cooking A Breeze

By Peter Cook


Cooking in the evening for the family can often be a nightmare. It is important to find quick recipes which will relieve some of the stress. There are many options available which don't take up a huge amount of time. It doesn't mean that you have to live on grilled cheese sandwiches either. Of course, the odd classic croque monsieur is not a bad option once in a while.

By planning ahead, you will usually think of more creative lunches to make.This can include sandwiches and salads. It goes beyond your usual peanut butter sandwich or your green salad. There are so many resources available which allow you to come up with quick and creative ideas. This makes work that much more worthwhile.

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.

If you work in a systematic fashion, you will find that you can get these meals done quickly. You also need to have all of your ingredients together before you start. Grocery shopping is obviously important. Without adequate planning and preparation you will become stuck.

There will be times when you are having guests over and you want to prepare a few snacks. Usually, you would run off to the store in a case like this. But there are so many things that you can make in a short space of time. Cheese straws are made with a little pastry and placed in the oven for a few minutes.

Fish goes very quickly in the oven. Of course, most people will enjoy this fried. However, you can learn to enjoy the grilled flavours by adding the right types of spices and this will make a big difference. You can serve this with chips or baby potatoes. Sweet potato chips are the healthy variety. Mash will take more time, but when you have a microwave, you find that it takes less time to complete this.

Sometimes, it is easier to put everything together. For example, many people make a rice dish with chicken and vegetables, along with a sauce. They may spice this up or they may leave this as it is. You can use peanut butter and hummus to make it more child friendly. Adding some texture is something to work towards as well. This can be achieved by adding nuts, and this can work well.

There are so many pasta variations to make which are so easy to make. Of course, you can't make pasta every day, but this can be something that you can opt for once a week, for example. Basic recipes can be spruced up. For example macaroni cheese can be made to be spicy. You can add meat to this as well. You can also add different types of cheese.
