With today's busy schedules we are always looking for quick and easy but good meals. Here are three that fit that bill.

[1] Broccoli Pasta

Cook your pasta as the package directs but add broccoli florets for the last five minutes. When it's time to take the pot off the heat, dip out 1/2 cup of the water, reserve then drain the rest.
Place the pasta and broccoli into a large bowl, add one cup of diced cooked chicken, one cup of cherry tomatoes [cut in half], the 1/2 cup of hot water and a good handful of shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss together and serve with a slice of sourdough bread for a great meal.

[2] Tortilla Pizza with Leftovers

Cover your tortilla with shredded cheese then layer on leftover veggies. Top with more cheese or salsa before heating in the microwave long enough to melt the cheese. This meal will use up leftover of any amount, as there is no right or wrong to the toppings. Just make sure, if you are using meat that it has been completely cook. A quick green salad and fresh fruit for desert will complete the meal in short time.

[3] Breakfast for Dinner

Most of us do not allow the time in the mornings for a family breakfast, so have it for dinner. You can find bacon, sausage and ham in precooked packages at most stores. Add eggs, juice and maybe some homemade biscuits for a great way to bring the kids to the table.

Nothing brings us together better than having a meal we can all enjoy and take part in. All of these meals have something that can be done by all ages in the family. Let the younger ones set the table or crack the eggs. It's the being together that makes the memories not the kind of food we eat.

Enjoy
