Easy Fast Dinner Recipes

When TV was young the moms depicted on the shows would wear pearls and dresses while cleaning house, then cook a complicated meal while dolling advice to the kids. That wasn't just on TV, it was a reflection of real life. But the 21st century world is one of amazing technology and lives that are much more fast paced. Everyone's on the look out for easy fast dinner recipes that give TV mom results without all the work. The Pilgrims didn't have a good source for such simplicity in food, but they didn't have the Internet either. There are a lot of sources on line to provide help to the busy family looking for a quality meal.

One steak can go a long way. Change the sides for different meal experiences. Change the spices for a trip around the world of food. Begin the adventure with a super large flank steak. For Monday add roasted potatoes and a tossed salad. Make Fajitas on Tuesday with some salsa and hot spices. On Wednesday make it Asian with some Teriyaki sauce, rice and vegetables. Thursday go back to the steak and salad, this time with mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. Friday is the day for some pita bread and Greek spices. That's right, Gyros. That's one meat for five meals.

What, there's even more to do with the steak? OK, get the plates and forks ready. Do southwestern steak with black bean wraps, or lentil and orzo salad with flank steak smothered in feta cheese. Now add another meat, and the variety is even more endless. Pork can be a roast, or ribs, or chops. The possibilities are endless.

With a little clever planning all the meals for the week can be cooked on the weekend, then heated and served in minutes. Plan an entire menu for a month then buy all the necessities for some good savings too. The children can learn about cooking too. Put them in charge for a week. Rotate days amongst the family.

And you thought fast dinner recipes were hard.
