Sometimes we simply need something fast and simple, with things that are easy to keep around the housel Here are my personal favorite 'way too easy' recipes!
- 3 2 1 Microwave Cake – Whether you reside in a dorm or spend your lifetime in a cubicle, these amazingly easy cake recipe doesn't seem possible to not keep around for all those cake emergencies! Mix one box of angel food cake mix with one box associated with a flavor cake mix (chocolate is highly recommended). This dry combination stores and ships wonderfully. When you're ready for cake, combine three tablespoons the mix with two tablespoons of water right into a microwavable container and microwave for one minute. Let it rest and set, and revel in!
- Tortilla Soup – Two cans of condensed chicken and rice soup, one can of tomatoes plus green chiles, and one can of tomato sauce. Voila, instant tortilla soup. Just heat all together, and serve with your favorite toppings, for example crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream. This one is terrifically easy to keep around the house because most of the ingredients are canned goods.
- Ravioli with pesto – Fresh ravioli plus pesto sauce constitutes a great weeknight dinner. Fresh ravioli only boil for about four minutes, and pesto sauce doesn't have to be heated. Top with diced tomatoes and shredded Parmesan for any fresh burst of flavor.
- French bread pizzas – These are particularly good for unexpected groups. Start with regular deli sandwich rolls, sliced in half. And top with everything you have available. Marinara, pesto, or alfredo sauce; sliced vegetables, pepperoni, pineapple, black olives, shredded cheese. Just bake at 375 before the bread gets crisp and also the cheese melts.
What are the favorite go-to easy meals that you can keep readily available?
