What do you do when you look at the clock and realize that you should have started supper already, and that your family is going to be hungry in T-15 minutes? You look in the fridge, pull out whatever veggies you have and make up a quick spaghetti sauce.
Here I sauteed 1 Onion, 3 Carrots and 1 Zucchini with half a package of Griller Crumbles.
Then I added 2 cans of tomato sauce with 1/4 can of water, 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and basil, and let that simmer till slightly thickened.
And finally put that over a bowl of whole grain penne pasta!
We also had some leftover bread from the previous post, and watermelon which I forgot to take a picture of.
It usually doesn't take too much planning for a quick meal as long as you have some staples like tomato sauce and pasta on hand. I usually have some veggies that need to be used, and can often find some kind of veggie meat in the freezer. The ingredients above, with a few variations, can be used to make several different dishes like pizza, and stir fry too!
I challenge you to take a look at what you already have in your fridge and pantry, and see if you can come up with a quick and delicious meal for your family this week, and let me know what you come up with!!
