Do you ever throw together a meal wholly based on an ingredient or two that you need to use up before it goes bad? I seem to do that more often than I should, but every once in a while my accidental meals turn into dinners that we make again and again. Such was…
Creamy Garlic Pasta #15MinuteSuppers
Years ago (was it 2003, perhaps?) my aunt asked the extended family members for a few of their favorite recipes to share in a family cookbook. The following recipe was one of the first recipes that I submitted to that collaborative cookbook. This simple and oh-so-easy pasta dish has stood the test of time,…
Gyro-Style Greek Wraps #15MinuteSuppers
At the beginning of the year, I wrote out a meal plan for the first two weeks of the year…which means that sometime last week I ran out of meals. I hadn’t had a chance to make my Greek Chicken Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce and Tapenade because Necco had used the last of my…
Mango Chutney Chicken #15MinuteSuppers
I made this Mango Chutney Chicken the other night, and although the dish was only cooking for 15 minutes, I had children popping up from all over the house to ask what smelled so delicious. I like when that happens. I had a very reliable source report to me the next day that the chicken…
Spicy Honey Cashew Chicken #15MinuteSuppers
It’s another week of 15 Minute Suppers. I don’t know about everyone else, but I am completely hooked on easy but delicious dinners. I discovered a recipe the other day that has already made it to my menu plan again because it was so delicious. I was shocked at how quick and easy the dish…
Ooey Gooey Holiday Chex Mix #15MinuteSuppers
Years ago, a good friend of mine brought our family a big bag of Chex Mix for Christmas. Expecting the same old salty (dare I say boring?) Chex Mix that I was used to, I was caught off guard when I took the first bite of our Christmas treat. It was so good! Even…
Fresh Tomato and Swiss Chard Pasta #15MinuteSuppers
If there’s ever a time of year when everyone’s short on time, it’s mid-December. I’ve been running around with no time to spare even more than usual this last week or two, and so I’ve been looking for more quick and easy dinners to make for the family. This meal is so easy and so…
Build-Your-Own Omelet in a Bag #15MinuteSuppers
I almost wimped out on sharing a #15MinuteSuppers recipe this week because I thought that I was completely out of ideas… And then I remembered a service activity that I attended this past month where we made omelets in a bag. As soon as I saw the process of making an omelet in a…
15 Minute Minestrone Soup #15MinuteSuppers
When I agreed to participate in 15 Minute Suppers, I thought I might be able to come up with a recipe every now and then that would qualify as a 15 minute dinner. Shockingly, this is the 7th week in a row that I’ve posted a 15 minute dinner. This recipe for minestrone soup…
Turkey-Cranberry Panini {Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipe} #15MinuteSuppers
I love Thanksgiving. I love spending all day in the kitchen cooking a dozen different dishes. After nearly two decades of cooking Thanksgiving dinners, I’ve got my system down pat….and as long as the rest of the family steps in to wash dishes every once in a while and preps the rest of the house…
