Mom on the Go: Dinner in 10 - 40 minutes
Getting dinner to the table within an hour of getting home is a nearly impossible feat.
But I've found that casseroles, cooking on weekends and supplements go a long way to getting dinner made in short order.
And by supplements, I mean the cooked rotisserie chickens at grocery stores, the order of ribs from a favorite restaurant, the frozen shrimp purchased -- on sale -- by the bag.
Filling in the edges of the meal with fresh vegetables, microwaved potatoes or steamed rice is much easier.
So grab a rotisserie chicken tonight and make a Chicken Avocado Pecan salad, Fast Chicken Black Bean Chili, Tortilla Soup with Shredded Chicken and Diced Avocado or Chicken Pot Pie. (The links take you to the recipes as they appeared in today's paper.)
