Blueberry Freeze
A great fruit-based dessert or snack. Makes one serving at a time.
Apricots – easy and inexpensive
Canned apricots are expensive and while fresh ones are ok in season, sometimes they’re not picked when ripe and don’t have much flavor. Reconstituted dried apricots are a great alternative.
Bean & Bacon Soup
Bean and bacon is a hearty soup that’s especially good in cold weather and makes a complete meal with the addition of a salad. This recipe is a good approximation of the canned variety.
Easy Minestrone
You can make this in a soup pot or slow cooker. It’s a filling soup but you can add open-faced or grilled cheese triangles to complete the meal.
Chicken in a Flash
Boneless, skinless chicken breast cooks very quickly. This recipe takes about 10 minutes prep and 10—12 minutes cooking time.
Mac & Cheese
Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? Yes, making it from scratch isn’t as quick as dumping a box in a pot, but you use pre-grated cheese, it’s still pretty fast.
Fish Dinner
With fresh or frozen fish fillets, you can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes.
Tacos
Use a standard taco preparation with condiments but use my spice mixture instead of a prepared packet of taco seasoning.
One-pot Dinner
Boxed dinners may seem convenient, but here’s a quick and easy alternative to avoid all the refined ingredients, additives and preservatives that come with them.
Oil & Lemon Juice Dressing
This is a variation of oil and vinegar. It works well as an accompaniment to a heavier richer dinner, as it’s very light.
