In a hurry? Try these 7 quick and easy meals.
Easy Steak Fajitas – Prepare fajita marinade the evening before then add marinade to steak strips in the morning. Marinate steak in the fridge all day. At dinner time, saute steak strips with sliced green peppers and onions. Serve in tortillas with desired toppings.
Rotini with Broccoli– Cook rotini according to directions. During the last five minutes of cooking throw a handful of chopped broccoli in the pot with the pasta. Drain and add butter and fresh grated parmesan. Serve with garlic toast and a salad.
Taco Salad– Brown ground beef and onions, add taco seasoning (homemade mix here). Serve over salad with sour cream (or ranch dressing), salsa, cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
Turkey Pepper Jack Grilled Cheese (recipe here) and Tomato Soup- Used canned soup to make this dinner in a flash.
Quesadillas-Throw left over chicken in with the cheese (recipe here) and serve with black bean and corn salsa (make this ahead).
Easy Shrimp Linguini– Cook linguini according to directions. While the pasta is cooking, saute shrimp in butter and fresh garlic. Drain pasta, add shrimp. Top with fresh grated parmesan or with fresh parsley and a little fresh lemon juice.
Omelets– Great for using leftovers. If you’re not great at making an omelet, you can saute some veggies and scramble the eggs like this Veggie Scramble recipe.

Wow – your website is my absolute favorite! I am a stay at home mom who also teaches online college courses from home, and I love all of your tips. I was wondering where you get your pictures? I can tell that you take the ones with the food yourself, (and they always look great,) 😉 but how do you do your graphics like the shopping cart? Thanks and keep up the good work. You are truly helping people. 🙂 God bless!
I use online photo software like PicMonkey. It’s FREE. 🙂
I printed your go to list and added a few of my favorites to it also; My Homemade Chili, Baked Potatoes (leftovers are grated up for hashbrowns or potato salad), and Hamburger or Tuna gravy served over toast points. This is just your basic white sauce and then add the meat. You can spice it the way you like it.
Thank you so much Kimberlee!
Finding your blog just made my day! 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to share! I’m a stay-at-home mom too. I know we could be ‘doing better’ (at least financially) if I worked, but it’s so much more important to our family if I stay home and take care of our son.
I love your new look. Your web site has helped me so much. I am a 59 year old woman who is in bad health. You have helped me learn how to control my home with menu planning and so many other things. Please keep up the wonderful work.
Thanks so much Lynda. I am so happy that the website has helped you. God is good!
