Whether you are a busy Mom or Dad or, for that matter, or a professional, dinner during the week can be hectic to get on the table for the family. Some quick meal ideas are all over the internet.
Kraft foods gives quite a bit of ideas, including 20 minute fajitas that requires sautéing a pound of boneless chicken breast strips in a bit of oil and adding some seasoning, water and vegetables to cook about 5 minutes. Then all you need to do is warm flour tortillas and fill with the chicken mixture.
You can also follow a recipe from allrecipes.com for 20 minute Mexican pasta that is as simple as cooking some seashell pasta in boiling water and drain.
