Quick Recipes Which Make Cooking A Breeze

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.

Some meals you just have to put together, and then place them in the oven. Put a piece of foil on top and you are ready to eat. Cook up a Bolognese sauce and slice up potatoes which will go on top. You will need to leave these in the oven for some time. Some people parboil the potatoes so that it goes quickly. Sprinkle on a little cheese and you are ready to go.

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.

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.
