What’s Your Favorite Quick Meal to Whip Up After Work?

It’s been a long, hard day. You arrive home an hour later than expected, stomach rumbling, and in no mood to labor over a meal. You need something quick, at least somewhat healthful, and satisfying. Around here at DivineCaroline, we turn to eggs and grilled-cheese sandwiches for fast fixes to dinner dilemmas. What’s your go-to meal when you’re short on time?

I cook up a large batch of whatever I'm making, then freeze it in portions. For example, to make a quick meal of chicken and rice, I can thaw in microwave and stir together sauteed chicken, cooked rice, cooked carrots, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed bell peppers -- and add the right amount of chicken broth, or add an Oriental sauce.
Simple Spaghetti - take a little olive oil and saute some sliced garlic. Just before the garlic turns brown, add a can of tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes to warm everything through and intensify the flavors. Add cooked pasta and toss well. Yummy!
