Easy Recipes in Under 10 Minutes
In an effort to save time, I thought I would try to research some recipes you can make quickly. These days, we have so little time to ourselves with work, friends, family, errands, events, and housework that getting a warm dinner on the table is very difficult.
I hope these recipes are as helpful to you as they have been to me. In sharing them, I hope you’re able to enjoy the food you create, relish in family downtime, and feel good knowing you saved time. As a tip, remember you can always double your recipes and make enough for leftovers for lunch the next day. Your family will thank you, and you’ll have more time in the mornings for other things if you aren’t making lunches.
Pesto Pasta:
Cook your favorite pasta (mine is penne) on the stove until done.
Add your favorite store-bought pesto sauce, stir well.
Serve.
Chicken Wraps:
Add a handful of pre-cooked, chopped chicken bresats to a pita or wrap.
Season with salt, pepper, dijon, ranch, mayo, hot sauce, or any other topping you like.
Add onion, lettuce, or tomato.
Wrap and serve.
Simple Gazpacho:
Mix one can diced tomatoes, chopped onion, a can of corn, pre-minced garlic, and olive oil with a can of shrimp.
Add a cup of vegetable juice to the ingredients and stir.
Serve.
Fish and Veggies:
Pan-fry your favorite fish fillet and heat up canned vegetables, like peas or green beans.
Add seasonings, like bread crumbs, garlic, and salt, before cooking.
Serve.
Hopefully these ideas spark some of your own. It really is easy to cook a fresh meal in under 10 minutes. It can help to pre-chop your vegetables or keep pre-minced garlic on hand when you know you’ll be in a time crunch. In addition, keep pre-cooked meats on hand, if you can. That way you just have to warm them up.
