I use some of the recipes alot they are just yummy. mmm..they also have foods for diabetics

Answer 2

I don't cook anything during the week that takes more than 45 minutes, I love Rachel ray, she has great recipes that all only take 30 mins or less and she has at least 6 cookbooks full of them the only problem is she calls for a lot of fresh ingredients so sometimes I leave out what I think isn't really necessary also she cuts and chops a lot of stuff so if you are not quick with a knife it may take more than half an hour. If you have seen the commercial on tv for the vidallia chop, that really helps cut down prep time. you can also try crock pot recipes, you jut put everything in the pot in the morning (or the night before and refrig overnight) and just let cook all day while your at work/school and dinner is ready when you get home. and last but certainly not least, if you have an outdoor grill they work great and cook quick you can grill steak or chicken or pork chops and do a quick and easy side, like rice or a noodle packet or salad.

Answer 3

Here's some easy recipes that turn out really good. I make them quite frequently.

Blackberry Lemon Ice

1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups frozen blackberries
1/4 cup fresh or bottled lemon juice

Boil the sugar and water for about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Put in a blender with the partially thawed blackberries. Blend until smooth. Push the mixture through a sieve so the seeds are removed. Add the lemon juice to the mixture, blend well. Pour into a 9x13 pan. Freeze about 1 1/2 hours. Use a fork to break up the mixture. Freeze another hour. Break up again with the fork and serve. (If serving later, thaw a bit until you can break up the mixture with a fork.)

Best Ever Salad

Baby Spinach leaves or butter lettuce & radicchio mix
Dried Cranberries
Slivered Almonds (spread on a plate, sprinkle with sugar, microwave 2 minutes)
Thinly sliced apple (Fuji are best)
Poppyseed Dressing

Stir all together. Let sit for 30 minutes and then serve.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
