Monday meal ideas: shortcuts

I don’t know about you, but I am *this* close to throwing the towel in for the year. The girls are EXHAUSTED, we are limping to the finish line and we STILL have 2 more bloody weeks of this! All this combined with things after school, Christmas parties and catch up’s mean that dinner will be here and there…quick morsels of comfort rather than the traditional sit down affairs. Here are some ideas for shortcuts: make ahead stuff, if it is dinner then something SIMPLE that can be made in under 10 minutes. Bring on Wednesday week is ALL I am saying.

Mini quiches
Steak & asian noodle salad
All in one roasted vegies
5 minute wonton soup

And here is the recipe for Chang salad which even though it’s on the back of the packet, it’s on high rotation round these parts this time of year. Add a hunk of meat and or shred some chicken through it and you are good to go.
