A confession. Tonight I “warmed” (hard to say cooked!) frozen ravioli and breaded fish filets for dinner! I did make an easy mock alfredo sauce for the cheese ravioli but the rest of dinner was high on convenience and suitable for our sports’ night dinner. My girls swim from 5:15 to 6:45. It’s just down the street but I like to walk and pick them up so I try to get dinner almost ready by 6:35 when I leave to get them. We get back about 7pm and I try to have at least one child shower while I finish dinner.
So with this menu I could plop the fish filets in the oven, bring the water to a boil and then turn it off until I got back, and finish dinner in 15 minutes upon our return. I brought the water back to a boil while I made the Alfredo Sauce, flipped the fish filets over, put some cut up carrots on the table, put the ravioli in the boiling water–and everything was ready at the same time.
I have to confess I chose the menu partially based on the fact that I splurged on a great burrito at lunch and was not at all hungry. I knew the kids would love it and I wouldn’t have to eat much!
