I need a quick and easy dinner recipe?

Answer 1

Want to make sandwiches, but you've just eaten your last slice of bread? Use tortillas, pita bread, rolls or focaccia instead.

Feel like pasta, but you're missing the pasta sauce? Try topping your pasta with chili soup or a favorite soup you may have on hand. (NOTE: for some soups, you may wish to add less liquid so they make a thicker sauce.)

No ingredients for a meat marinade? Marinate the meat with your favorite vinegar and oil salad dressing.

Need a side dish for your meat and you're completely out of vegetables? Try sliced, sautéed fruit, such as apples or mangoes.

What if there's no wine to add to a sauce? Perhaps beer or fruit preserves might work equally well.

Crab cakes are famous , but not always practical or affordable. This quick and easy recipe uses ingredients that can be kept on hand for preparation on busy days.

salmon cakes

Serves: 2
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes


1 7-1/2 ounce can salmon, drained, skin removed
1/4 cup plain, dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons horseradish
vegetable oil cooking spray


Mix all the ingredients except the cooking spray in a medium-size bowl.
Form into 4 equal-size patties.
Coat a medium nonstick pan with the cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat.
Cook the salmon cakes on both sides until golden brown.

****ONE-DISH ROSEMARY CHICKEN AND WHITE BEANS (Makes 4 servings)

2 teaspoons olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Combine rosemary, salt and pepper; sprinkle over one side of chicken.
Place chicken in pan with seasoned side down, cook 3 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and turn chicken. Add tomatoes and beans, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
Stir in olives.

Mix together the ingredients the night before, a few hours in advance or just before baking.

Make endless variations using the same basic proportions of ingredients. For example, use Italian seasoning instead of poultry seasoning. Substitute other types of frozen vegetables for the peas. If desired, simplify the recipe by leaving out the sweet red pepper and sliced mushrooms; simply add an extra cup of frozen vegetables.
