15 minute meals

For our fifth Meal in 15 Minutes or Less, we are going for a classic breakfast: French Toast.  I've tasted a wide variety of attempts at french toast, but my mom's version was always my favorite.  It's simple, requires few ingredients, and will take less than 15 minutes from fridge to plate.  Let's get to it!

As I've mentioned before, we never really ate fast food or boxed meals growing up.  Most of the time, it was homecooked meals.  However, on the rare occassion when we were traveling and we needed something quick to eat, we may stop at a fast food restaurant for breakfast.  I was always deeply surprised by how distasteful the breakfasts were.  For a while, I even disliked ordering breakfast foods at restaurants because I found them to be

When my husband and I were out in California for our honeymoon, we had the pleasure of eating a variety of wonderful meals prepared by world-class chefs in the Napa Valley region.  One of my favorite meals out there was a strawberry spinach salad with candied walnuts.  It was absolutely incredible!  The ingredients were so fresh and I found myself disappointed there was not more to eat upon fini

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! 

Midway through the week now and we are ready for our third Meal in 15 Minutes or Less breakfast.  Today we will be cooking up some oatmeal topped with brown sugar and cinnamon.  This simple but hearty breakfast tastes good, is good for you, and will keep you going until lunch!  Let's get started!

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.

On our second day of Meals in 15 Minutes or Less, we are going for a simple breakfast snack that will keep you satisfied and travels well.  They are called Peanut Butter Rollups!  With only 3 ingredients, this snack is not only easy to make but easy on the wallet and good for you!

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!
