4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh, I'm not too fussy about this one. I bought it because I wanted a resource for quick dinners to make after work, but the recipes as written take so many shortcuts, they become less appealing.

BCLogo9781118133262%20fm01b.TIFDinner Dilemma Solutions
Getting dinner on the table with a minimum of fuss is not impossible, but it does take some thought. With the great recipes in this book and these strategies for simple pantry stocking, efficient meal planning and shopping savvy, you’re well on your way to a delicious dinner. Also, be sure to check out the Moment’s Notice Menu Planner for last-minute dinner inspiration.
Scratch Dinnertime Woes
With everyone on the go, it’s hard to find the time to prepare a dinner that will please the whole family. Here are some quick tips to make the dash to dinner a little easier.
• Think ahead to the question that always comes up—what’s for dinner tonight?
• Try to plan for foods that family members enjoy.
• Plan leftovers for quick meals.
• Plan a main dish for dinner and suggest that another family member stop at the deli for side dishes.
• Enlist the help of family members to get dinner ready and on the table.
Quick Cook’s Pantry
In the midst of a busy week, you may not have time to think about dinner until shortly before sitting down to eat. A pantry stocked with items that you frequently use is a great solution for the last-minute dinner and can be a terrific meal-planning tool. Since we all like different foods and have different needs, no one pantry list works for everyone. Follow these tips as a starting point. As you make meals and discover new favorites, add those staple
items to create your own custom-stocked pantry.
• Choose fresh fruits and vegetables weekly to have available for meals and snacks. Bagged salads, refrigerated potatoes and precut vegetables are easy choices. Items to simply slice and serve, like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and pears, are all great to have on hand.
• Look for frozen fruits and vegetables that you like. Keep favorites in the freezer to serve often and to use when fresh varieties are not readily available.
• Keep favorite condiments on hand, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and salsa.
• Dairy products like cheese, milk, eggs and sour cream are great items to have available.
• Meats such as ground beef, pork chops, steaks and chicken breasts are great to store in the freezer. Also look for frozen and refrigerated cooked chicken, meatballs, seafood and a variety of other convenience products.
• Packaged goods like pasta, rice, pasta sauce, soups, beans, broth, dried fruits and nuts and sauce mixes are perfect to have on hand for meals.
Meal Planning
A little time set aside for weekly meal planning pays off. No more frustrating last-minute dinner dashes or exasperated takeout splurges.
• Create a grocery list that you can update as necessary while meal planning.
• Keep the grocery list in a convenient place so family members can add items as they are used up.
• Create a chart sectioning off daily meals, including snacks and brown-bag lunches.
• Check the pantry to see what can be used for the meals in your chart.
• Scan your refrigerator for what needs to be used, such as leftovers or produce that might not last more than a few days. Plan immediate meals around these items.
• Fill in the rest of the week, adding needed recipe ingredients to the grocery list as you go.
• Take a final assessment to make sure you’ve considered the week’s activities and the time you’ll have to make each meal.
Smart Shopping
Be strategic about when and how you shop. The more you think and plan ahead, the easier and more efficient your shopping trips will be.
• Always shop with a list so you don’t forget critical ingredients.
• Plan time to shop alone so you are not distracted and can allow a little browsing time.
• Read newspaper and online store ads. Clip or print coupons ahead of time.
• Bring your own bags because many stores offer a reusable bag discount.
• Have backup ideas in mind in case the store is out of an ingredient or product that’s on your list.
• Consider seasonal items as you shop for peak freshness and the best price.
• Take a few moments when you arrive home from shopping to prepare ingredients for cooking ahead of time. Chop vegetables, wash fruit or cut up meat. You’ll be glad you did on hectic nights when every extra minute counts.
Moment’s Notice Menu Planner
Whatever night of the week it is, it’s easy to put together a delicious meal with this selection of last-minute menu ideas. Easy deli choices, fresh sides and frozen favorites round out each meal for tasty dinner combinations any time.
