Moms on the Go....
Let's post our favorite "quick" dinners....we all have schedule contstraints but this is where I find it hardest - shuffling - my workouts, baseball and football practices, tennis practices, etc etc.
Share your favorite "quick" dinner....
Turkey Meatballs in crock pot with marinara sauce - served on french bread when we were ready to eat with cantaloupe that I cut up earlier

another we do is hamburgers - 4 oz of 93% fat free hamburger on wheat buns with strawberries and bananas or greek salad.
I have the burgers pattied out and ready for the grill and the salad is ready except adding the feta.0 -
Why's it gotta be "Moms"?
I'm butting in either way. Not so much a dinner idea but a way to cook. If you get a chance take a look at the NuWave ovens. I've got one and if I can help it I don't even bother with my other oven anymore. It's cooks food sometimes in half the time of normal oven cooking.
Edit: Just noticed my reply feels like a informercial.0 -

And no not just moms - but it since I am one you know me just thinking about myself again! I guess everyone else has tons of time to cook dinner - I am envious!0 -
Mini Pizza's
Whole wheat english muffins
Pizza sauce
Light cheese (already shredded)
Canadian bacon & veggies for me (I let my kids add their favorites, pepporoni & Veggies)
Pop in the oven for a few minutes and serve with a green salad.
**Great idea for a post! I'm so excited to see what other mom's come up with!:happy:0 -

My grandfather lives on these things... one trick he taught me was put the super deli thin swiss cheese between the bread and the sauce. He also uses regular tomato sauce. I like the basil and oregano sauce. Oh.. and 2 or 3 slices of garlic under the mozzarella.0 -

Love the ideas! I love the pizza's cause even my kids (4 & 3 years old) can help, which eliminates whining while I'm cooking :drinker: I LOVE to eliminate whining0 -

whole wheat pita bread works great too! And sometimes instead of pizza sauce, I just brush on a little olive oil and garlic powder... comes out something like garlic fingers with meat... mmm...0 -
You can't beat grilled cheese and tomoto soup. It's my default when 1) we haven't been grocery shopping in a while or 2) I'm too lazy to bother with anything that takes longer.0

I do the same thing, but replace the english muffin with a whole wheat tortilla, place it in frying pan sprayed with Olive Oil, put the sauce and cheese, and whatever veggies, then put a lid on the pan and let it cook until the bottom of the tortilla is browned.
Then I fold it over and volia! An Italian taco.
My daughter loves them.0 -

We do stuffed burgers---mmmmm
Ground turkey with lipton's soup mix
Make a pattie and put low fat cheese, onion, mushrooms....whatever you like on your burger

They are wonderful and low in fat=)0 -
Homemade ceaser salad----very simple!!
2-2 ½ Romane hearts—buy the hearts at Sam’s they are already cleaned
1/3 cup low fat olive oil
½ teaspoon Fresh cracked pepper
½ teaspoon brown mustard
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup low fat parmesan cheese
½ cup croutons
You can make the dressing ahead of time that way the flavors can mix together. I have also added grilled chicken to this and it is great!!!!0 -
