30 Minute Meals

Let’s face it – who wants to slave away in the kitchen for hours upon hours just to produce a decent meal? No one wants to do that. In fact, most individuals who are responsible for making the family meals prefer to spend less than one hour in the kitchen. That one hour includes all the preparation time, cooking and cleaning up. Is it possible to make a great meal and have the kitchen spotlessly clean in that amount of time? Yes, it is absolutely possible.

If you spend any time listening to Rachel Ray and her cooking ideas and recipes, you may be familiar with her 30 minute meals and how appetizing they can be. The entire idea behind her 30 minute meals is, of course, to be in and out of the kitchen in no time at all. Her 30 minute meal recipes and ideas are not only fast, but incredibly delicious as well. If you’re in the mood for soup, it can be done super fast. If you’re craving more of a satisfying meal such as chicken or lamb, that can be made in only 30 minutes as well. Let me give you a very good hint: glance over the recipe before you attempt to make it in 30 minutes or less. If you’re not familiar with all of the ingredients and steps that need to be followed, I can guarantee that your 30 minute meals will turn into an hour or more. If you spend 5 minutes reading over the recipe before you even step foot into your kitchen, you will find that the 30 minute meals will be stress-free and a huge hit with your family.

Contrary to what many people may believe, there are not simply a limited amount of recipes that can be successfully made within 30 minutes. There are, in fact, enough of 30 minute recipes available that your family will be happy for weeks without ever eating the same meal twice. Rachel Ray isn’t the only person who has 30 minute meal recipes for you. There are others that can be found. Rachel Ray fans may not want to even think about a recipe that wasn’t suggested by the cooking genius. That’s your choice. Afterall, they’re your tastebuds.

Your family will be happy with all of the new meals that you’re creating. You will be happy because you’ll be spending less time in the kitchen and more time with your family. You really can’t go wrong with having a recipe that can be created and brought to perfection within 30 minutes.
