Quick Easy Meals Suit A Busy Mom And 15 Minute Meals Are The Answer

By:


Do you rush home, trying not to get a speeding ticket on the way, knowing that you will have about 35 minutes to feed the family and get one or two of them out the door? The life of a busy mom can have her wondering how she will get through it all. But if cooking a 15 minute meal can be mastered then keeping everyone happy at the end of a busy day will be a breeze.

Fast foods are a popular way to getting a quick meal for the family but there are very few of them are healthy. Most are saturated in fat and not healthy for the family.

There are many meals that can be prepared quickly but here is an easy 15 minute meal.

Honey Soy and Garlic Fried Rice (feeds 3 adults)

1 cup uncooked rice 5 rashers of bacon chopped

1 medium onion chopped

4 cloves garlic finely sliced

1 cup corn kernels

1 cup frozen peas

½ cup chopped red pepper

1 cup chopped mushrooms

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Honey Soy and Garlic sauce (approx. 3 tablespoons and adjust to taste)

Method:

Cook rice in 2 cups of water in microwave for 12 -13 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, put oil in the pan and fry onions and bacon until onions are soft and bacon browning. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add all other vegetables and cook 2 minutes. When rice is cooked, add and stir in. Add Honey Soy and Garlic sauce adjust taste, stir and serve.

This is a really tasty dish and very 'morish'. All ages like it, but if very young children are going to have it they may like it served before the sauce is added, although many children do like the Honey Soy and Garlic sauce.

Many other 15 minute easy meals are such dishes as omelets, eggs and bacon, open grilled sandwiches, steak sandwiches and pizza. Omelets are good to cook because if just one or two family members need to leave the house in a hurry they can be served first and then be off to whatever it is that they are doing.

Being organized before a busy day is half the problem solved. If warning is given of a busy night ahead by making sure that the ingredients are in the fridge then getting the meal together is not such a problem. 15 minute easy meals will help mom feed the family in a hurry and keep them all happy then mom can sit down and put her feet up afterwards.
