When you are looking to prepare a quick meal, what do you make?

[Whitewater]

Quick meals for us include:

grilled cheese sandwiches
deli meats and cheeses (like an antipasti platter, or sometimes on a sandwich with mustard)
soup (we like the Cambell's chunky varieties) and crusty French bread
baked potatoes (and microwavable steamed veggies)
rotisserie chickens and those salad-in-a-bag things you can buy at the store
steak under the broiler and more salad-in-a-bag (seriously, medium rare takes 5 minutes total!)

and . . . more that I can't remember right now. Microwaveable steamed veggies rock!


Whitewater (who is happy because this is the last night we'll be cooking for ourselves for a week!)

A quick dinner for us is pasta w/an olive oil and garlic sauce. I just sautee fresh garlic in olive oil add some salt and pepper and sometimes add in leftover vegetables like broccoli or zuchenni, if i don't have veggies i usually have a bag of baby shrimp in the freezer that I throw in,mmmm...sometimes even a can of tuna fish. Easy, easy, easy.

Others times I'll take out some hamburg; brown it, season it, add cream mushroom soup, milk and sour cream, cook noodles and wha-la stroganoff.

Fave quick meal: Toasted ravioli with jarred marinara sauce for dipping and a salad from a bag. Of course, if you're not from St.Louis, you may not know what toasted ravs are.
