How to Solve your Biggest Meal Problem

Guest Blogger- Nancy Hernandez

What’s the biggest meal problem you run into day after day? “What’s for dinner?” is mine. Usually I go to the freezer, pull out a protein, then build a meal around it. Sometimes it’s inspired(like my divine  meatball sauce), other times it’s blah(grilled chicken with plain steamed broccoli). If your dinner problems are the same as mine,  wouldn’t you like to have an easy solution for those nights when you just don’t know what to cook, and have run out of inspiration?

Here are two ideal solutions.

1. Buy some MagicKitchen.com HomeStyle meals for your freezer. Recently I had an evening when I had not taken anything out of the freezer, and the day had been hectic (sound familiar?). Luckily I had a few Deep Dish chicken pot pies from MagicKitchen.com, and I popped a few in the oven while I made a quick salad. Ta-da! A delicious dinner was on the table, dishes were minimal, and I could spend time with my family.

On another occasion, I looked in the freezer for my protein- fish, blah, chicken…blah…then spotted MagicKitchen.com’s Flat Iron Beef in Bordelaise sauce. Out it came, and when I got home I made some rice, steamed a veggie, and heated up the scrumptious beef. Restaurant quality, in my kitchen in no time flat.

2. Another solution I use is recipekey.com. Add items that you have in your kitchen to your  virtual pantry, then select “Find Matching Recipes.” If you register(free), then you can select whether you want a recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizer, dessert or side dish!

Good luck with your meals!
