Add one can of cream of chicken soup concentrated and one cup of chicken stock/bullion. Stir together in a casserole pot, such as a Le Creuset. For the topping mix 1.5 cups of Bisquick with 1 cup milk. Pour on top. Top that with a drizzle of 1/2 cup melted butter. Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour or until the dough on top is golden. I guarantee this will disappear. ...
Good god, I'm such a food snob!

Serves 4
Total Time: 35m
½ small onion
1 clove garlic
1 cup raw vegetables (any combination of carrots, fresh spinach, zucchini, broccoli, peppers, and corn)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking the pancakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pancake mix (enough for 10 to 12 pancakes), plus whatever additional ingredients are called for in the directions
¼ cup grated parmesan
Sour cream, for serving
1. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and vegetables.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the other vegetables, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
3. While the vegetables are cooking, make the pancake batter according to the package directions.
4. Add the cooked vegetables and the Parmesan to the batter and mix to combine.
5. Cook the pancakes as you normally would (use olive oil instead of butter to help kick it up to dinner status). Top with the sour cream and serve.
This sounds like a yummy idea. But, I would not consider it a quick recipe. In addition to the time needed to make the batter, add 5 minutes to fry the pancake on both sides. It is similar to Korean style zucchini pancakes.
I think quick is your frame of reference. Personally I do not use ingredients like condensed soup in my cooking so thins kind of recipe would be quick. For someone unaccustomed to a stove this might be a challenge.

Salmon with marmalade (bake salmon with a layer of citrus marmalade on top - sounds weird but turns out yummy)
Boneless chicken breast pounded flat. Sear in pan 4 minutes per side. Can cut into pieces and add a sauce and veggies of your choice for a stir fry. or just serve with veggies. Philadelphia cream cheese brand makes a range of cooking sauces that are pretty good. I also sometimes do half soy, half sriracha sauce and egg noodles.
I also make an enchilada pie similar to recipe above (layer of enchilada sauce, corn tortillas, black beans, veggies (I usually do spinach, zuchini and/or corn), cheddar cheese. Then repeat layers until pan is full. I also add jarred jalapeño to the too of the cheese since we like spicy.
Oh, and turkey tacos. Brown ground turkey meat with taco seasoning package. Serve in pre- made taco shells with cut up lettuce, tomato and salsa.

Microwaved (or oven roasted if you have the time) sweet potato + black beans (canned) + cheddar cheese (pre-shredded) + salsa (optional)
Serve with a side salad or steamed green veggie.
A super easy meal that can easily be deconstructed for picky toddlers.

Actually, most of these recipes are perfectly fine from a caloric/nutritional standpoint. I might avoid the alfredo sauces personally and switch the 2 fried eggs to 1 if they are being eaten on a regular basis.....I tend to think this is what you are referring to..... but really the rest of the stuff seems fine. Totally not crap....and even the occasional bit of msg-ified chicken broth won't kill you if eaten in moderation. Keep cooking fresh food for your families. It's the best thing you can do!

here's a quick salmon recipe.
marinate 1 lb salmon in a combination of 2T olive oil, 2T soy sauce and 1-2 T dijon mustard. Add some grated fresh ginger and/or chopped garlic to the marinate if you wish. Marinate for 15 minutes. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side or cook in a skillet for 5 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes - serve with rice, edamame.
This was based on a recipe I saw once from Ina Garten's show and I make it at least twice a month - everyone seems to like it - even the kids!

Anonymous wrote:Apple Turkey Fingers
1 lb ground turkey
2 medium carrots
1 large apple
1 garlic clove
1/2 small onion
1/2 egg, beaten
1/4 cup unprocessed natural bran
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
Preheat broiler.
Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
In a food processor or by hand, grate the carrot, apple, garlic & onion, or else mince very finely (I grated the carrots using a microplane, but minced the apple, onion and garlic for texture). Add to bowl with turkey.
Add the 1/2 beaten egg (or whole egg for older kids), bran, thyme and any seasonings you wish. Mix all ingredients together.
Scoop mixture up about 1/4 cup at a time (size of a large meatball) and roll into little sausage shapes, placing on a broiling pan or cookie sheet as you go (you may need to do two pans worth). Wet your hands periodically if it's sticky.
Place in broiler and broil for 10-15 minutes on one side, then turn over and broil 5-10 minutes more.
Remove and let cool. Store together in a freezer bag or individually wrapped in foil.
Thank you for sharing! I'm making this tomorrow.
