Magical Meal in a Minute - Works for Me!

This week's Works for Me Wednesday is themed...what do you do when it's time for dinner but nothing's been made and everyone's cranky?

Here we go...

1. Open beer or wine, pour into glass. (In a true pinch, drink either from the bottle.) This is, of course, for the mommy, not the kids.

2. Consult Magical Meal in a Minute List, posted in the kitchen.

3. Consult freezer/pantry and determine which one will work. One has to work. Pray for one to work.

4. Create meal in five minutes. Try to make it look pretty on the plates.

5. Serve to the family. Explain to 6-year-old that it doesn't matter what he thinks he wants to eat, this is for dinner.

6. If all else fails...order pizza!

(For those of you who were hoping I'd put together a Chanukah edition of last-minute latkes...I actually ordered my latkes from a local grocery store this year. Theirs are superb and my house does not have that yucky oil smell...delish!)

Happy Chanukah, y'all!

    What a clever idea. I will definitely be using this!!

    For the record, we didn't fry latkes this year either. We are living in a tiny duplex this season and I just couldn't do it to my neighbors! I really miss them, though.

    Be sure to check out my Chili Recipe and enter my current giveaway!

    I like any meal that starts with a glass of wine for mom!

    No latkes here yet either, probably tomorrow night.

    Nice list! I wanted to tell you that I often make the Spanish Rice with lots of mushrooms instead of meat, and it's just as delicious that way, too. I know some people also use beans instead of the meat. Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog and for the comment.

    Sounds like a good plan to me!

    Hear hear, any recipe that starts with wine for the recipe maker works for me! I printed your list, thanks for sharing!
