Quick Dinner Ideas

Happy Monday! Here’s this week’s edition of “Quick Dinner Ideas.”

For those nights however, that you literally may have minutes to spare, plan a few super simple dinner ideas:

• light all beef kosher hot dogs (nitrate free if you can find them)
• pasta
• scrambled eggs
• frozen veggie burgers
• burritos with whatever fillings I have on hand
• frozen chicken, veggie and pasta “dinner in a bag” from the freezer section of the grocery
• a crockpot meal that you started in the morning and is ready at dinner time
• keep raw veggies and fruits on hand to add to a less than ideal dinner

Check out my post 10 Ways to Make “Making Dinner”Easier.
