lunch

I'll never forget the first time I had fish tacos. We were visiting some friends and they took us to their favorite local restaurant. It was strongly recommended to me that I try the fish tacos, and having never had them before, I agreed to give them a chance. I was not disappointed! They were incredible!

For our third Meal in 15 Minutes or Less lunch, we are going to make a ham and turkey wrap.  This beautiful wrapped sandwich is easy to make and, because the tortilla does not get soggy as quickly as regular bread, it can be made in advance! 

I LOVE soup! More specifically, I love any kind of soup with a cheesy or creamy base. Creamy chicken wild rice soup, broccoli cheddar soup, and cream of just about anything soup makes me go weak in the knees (or would that be weak in the taste buds?)! Soups are amazing as a side to a meal or as the meal itself. So I thought tonight we would attempt our hand at making a broccoli cheese soup in 20 minutes or less.

My husband doesn't much care for pasta salad, so I usually make it for myself during my summer break. I have always enjoyed cold pasta salad, especially of the Italian variety! There is something about fresh veggies cut up with noodles and pepperoni! Plus that Zesty Italian dressing that pulls the dish together! It's a refreshing summer dish.

For our third meal today we will up the time limit a bit due to the nature of dinner being somewhat more intensive.  Our dinner Meal in 20 Minutes or Less is going to be one of my favorites: curried broccoli with alfredo sauce on pasta.  I was skeptical the first time my husband made it for me, but it has quickly become one of my favorite meals!  And with some minor alternations from the original, we will make this dinner from fridge to plate in 20 minutes.  So

For our second Meal in 15 Minutes or Less today, we are going to make pizzas using English muffins as the crust.
These little pizzas are incredibly simple to make and easy to bring to work!
From fridge to plate, they take about 13 minutes.

I do not know for how long this has been a trend, but lately apples have been showing up in my sandwiches... and they're delicious!
I wanted to try my hand at making such a sandwich so I gathered up ingredients I had around the home and began constructing my first sandwich with apples on it.

I have fond memories of family pizza night. Dad used to cook up at least a pound of hamburger to mix together a variety of red sauces to form his very special pizza sauce. My sister and I would play with the flour and dough, making a huge mess but having a blast, too. My mother would run around cleaning up after us and preparing the toppings. However, in all our years of pizza making, the toppings were almost always the same: pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and tons of cheese.

As I was getting ready to make BBQ pulled pork sandwiches for the aimClear office, I realized I needed some really good coleslaw to go on top (or as Minnesotans seem to do, to eat as a side to their super delicious sandwich).  I searched the web and was getting frustrated with the seemingly endless variations on coleslaw with no real guarantee of their tastiness when I came across a YouTube video with step-by-step instructions on how to make this amazing coleslaw.  It looked beautiful a

My husband is a fan of pulled pork and frequently requests the store bought stuff. I, preferring homemade to pre-packaged and seeing that there was a sale on pork sirloins, decided to try my hand at pulled pork; I mean, how hard could it be? Turns out, it's a lot like any other roast. Pop it in the crock pot with some onions, garlic, seasoning, and liquid for 8 hours on low and you're good to go! Now I will share my easy but delicious recipe with you!
