Simple Recipes To Feed A Working, Hungry Family

By Patricia Gorginas

Simple recipes are meals easy to prepare for a busy hungry family, back from a long day working to earn a decent income.

The children may be waiting for mom and dad to get back from work, to have a decent nutritious meal. They want to avoid dull take away or snacks full of preservatives and fat and do not want to become another statistic in the rise of obesity in children.

A decent meal need not be a complex meal. It can be a simple recipe for a delicious dinner.

Today, most families have to have two incomes to get by. Some women work because they want to and others work because they have to. Either way, it makes homemade cooking a little harder to come by.

Neither spouse wants to come home from a long day of work to tackle two hours of cooking, and you can count me among those people. I love to cook for my family, but I simply don’t have the time.

I’d rather spend my free time with my daughter instead of hunched over my stove. I look for simple recipes that are nutritious and easy so we can have the best of both worlds.

You can find simple recipes anywhere, and you don’t have to worry about the taste. Many of them are just as tasty as more complicated ones, but it will depend on your taste. Perhaps I was just raised to enjoy simple meals.

A decent dinner

A good roast, potatoes, and some vegetables are all I need for a decent dinner. My mom was a single mother for a long time, and she worked full time while going to school. She didn’t have time for anything other than simple recipes, but they never lacked for taste, and they were good for us too.

One of the best places to find simple recipes is by watching the Food Network. Some of the shows features detailed recipes, but others give you quick and delicious meals you can cook up in a half an hour, and they are always something you family will love.

You can find many of these simple recipes by looking online at their website. They have many listed. You can even find the recipes by chef or cook. If you like Alton Brown, you can find him quite easily on that site, or you can go out and buy one of his cookbooks if your so choose.

Mix and Match

You may have many simple recipes already at your disposal, and you may be surprised how easily you can come up with your own. You know what you family likes, and it is easy to mix and match foods to come up with new stuff.

There are many foods that are so diverse you can use them in almost any type of meal. You may also want to encourage your family to come up with their own simple recipes so you can all take turns cooking for each other.

Family involvement in cooking lessens the burden on one cook to prepare everything, after a long day at work.

It would be nice to arrive home from work and have the smell of a nice cooked meal filling up your nostrils. And the table can be quickly set and the simple meal can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Its all in the family. Discussing and helping each other for better outcomes.

This would result in less stress and more time to relax and prepare for the next day. You may even wake up in the morning, in a joyful mood. Sunshine every day.

Now wouldn’t that be something different!

Did You Know?

What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.

One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part of your cooking basics.

Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer. These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can be used for anything similar.
