Who doesn't love pizza? It's easy to throw together and you can meet a variety of people's desires with different toppings. Thus, it just makes sense to have a few blog posts about this incredibly versatile meal!

We do love our breakfast foods around here. As breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day for getting the brain and body ready to work, we always make sure to eat something before heading out the door. Unfortunately, it's also at a time of day where our bodies are not fully awake and fighting the concept of eating.

One of my favorite sandwiches of all time is the Chicken Cheesy Melt from a local restaurant. Bacon and chicken surrounded by cheese and sandwiched between two slices of Texas toast... what's not to love? The kicker: homemade ranch. It is to die for!

We were at a wedding recently that served this amazing stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes.  I loved it but had never made such a meal before.  How does one stuff a chicken breast, I wondered.  So I set out to find the answer. 

After meeting my husband for lunch and eating nachos piled high with toppings, I decided Nachos would be a perfect 15 minute meal try add to the blog.  Because we only have fifteen minutes, we will be using seasoned ground beef as our meat of choice.  However, check back later for how to make Shredded Chicken Nachos, because that is just a must!

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 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 know so many people who skip breakfast or think a granola bar passes as breakfast because they "don't have time" to make breakfast. Well I'm here to say that a home-cooked breakfast meal is less than fifteen minutes away! Breakfast foods are probably one of the quickest meals of the day to cook up and can be as simple as fried eggs and toast!
