Emergency Dinners

In an emergency and in order to feed a few people, I don't think you can go wrong with an Omelette. They are incredibly versatile, cheap to make and they are really filling and satisfying. I have included a few of my favourite omelette combinations below to give you some ideas. Basic Omelette Whisk 1-3 eggs in a bowl, add salt, pepper, a touch of garlic powder if you like, and some people like to add a dash of milk, I prefer not to. Make sure you have a nice hot pan, with a little bit of oil, unless it is a really good quality non stick pan. Pour in the mixture and allow to cook from under, you will see the top remain runny for a little while, as it ...  Read the complete review

Having recently got addicted to the popular sandwich at Subway called 'Meatball Melt' I was inspired to make my own version which can be made at home quickly and conveniently. All you will need is- A tin of meatballs (I use Campbells Meatballs in Bolognaise Sauce) Cheese Slices (I use Dairylea Cheese Slices) Breadcakes Grill 1. Cut the breadcake in half, grill the bottom of both sides until golden brown 2. Turn the breadcakes over and grill the top side until slightly crispy but not quite golden 3. Smother the tops of the breadcakes in bolognaise sauce from the meatballs 4. Place a few ...  Read the complete review

---Intro--- I'm pretty bored this afternoon, and it's been a long time since I wrote anything in the discussion section so I had a browse of the topics and came across emergency dinners. Anyway, having not got any meat out of the freezer this morning I'm left wondering what we might end up having for dinner tonight (it's a complete surprise as hubby cooks and it's generally waiting for me when I get home from work - and he's very good). However, what follows isn't any of hubby's creations, it's the things that I end up cooking on the occasions when there's nothing out of the freezer and hubby hasn't cooked for whatever ...  Read the complete review

When I was in university and lived with other students, emergency dinners were well spotted during essay and exam time. There was not much concern about nutrition or calories but to fill the tummy in order to carry on with study. But it was not unusual to hear that some students lived on instant noodles or frozen food throughout most of their courses, as mum was not around. Because my course required lots of writing assignments, having dinner while busy typing in front of computer was one way to catch up my work. Very often before the writing weeks I would prepare some bread (or wraps), relish, salad and cheese - ingredients for quick sandwiches - in ...  Read the complete review

I think everyone has a day when they come home from work tired and cant be bothered to make an effort with dinner. Sometimes i get home from work and i am so exhausted that i just pop a quick "emergency dinner" on the stove. My personal favourite emergency dinner is chilli con carne. It is so simple to make and everyone in my house seems to like it. It basically consists of beans and rice. Just put some mince in a pan and add kidney beans with chilli sauce, baked beans and butter beans, then maybe just add some tinned tomatoes and pepper, or chilli powder if you like things spicy, and thats it. You can have it on jacket potato, or with rice, it is that simple ...  Read the complete review
