Emergency Dinners Reviews

I like this topic! It's usually at 5pm on a Sunday evening, when all the shops are closed, that I realise that there's nothing in for tea...and after scouring the cupboards for ingredients we do have, I can often be found typing in to google 'kidney beans custard' hoping that it will return with a tasty quick recipe. This has yet to ...  Read the complete review

Emergency dinners are usually only for my husband and I, so I don't have to worry about feeding too many mouths (though we both have, admittedly, hearty appetites). My new favourite emergency dinner comes courtesy of a contributor to NibbleDish.com, a user-generated recipe site. It's a variation of 'absorption pasta', and works on the principle ...  Read the complete review

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, ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Maybe its just in our house but as payday approaches the meals at the end of the month tend to become very unusual as I desperatly try to use up all the odds and ends in the cuboard or freezer that will soon be out of date. This can make for some very interesting meals, some going down a hit and some things i cant even get the cat to look twice ...  Read the complete review

Well here it is my trusty quick fix emergency meal that's always a winner in my house. Some of you may know it but the good old fashioned Carbonra al la me. Thursday evening tends to be the business time in my house husbands of to football training im at dancing and grandma is over to look after the little one. So my recipe ...  Read the complete review

I guess that most people have some sort of 'quick dish' they can throw together last minute. I seem to always be in a hurry lately when cooking as it now takes me FOREVER to get home from work (see review on public transport!) The husband is useless at cooking and the best I could hope for from him is a tin of soup but he does the ...  Read the complete review

Being a family of four we often have very busy lives and things that we do a couple of evenings a week. Firstly my little girl has swimming lessons at 5pm one night a week so a quick meal is needed before she goes, secondly she does Rainbows also another night so again a quick meal is needed before she goes. We do all like to eat as a family ...  Read the complete review

My husband works odd hours, and I'm never quite sure what time he will be home. So I have to have a stash of emergency dinners ready!! My favourite one is soup. Tomato, vegetable, Chicken... any will do! It takes just a few minutes to heat up in the saucepan, and team it with a couple of slices of fresh bread and butter (ok so you may have to go ...  Read the complete review

Got to have a go at this one. Had so many emergency dinners to cook in my lifetime, I have a few up my sleeve I produce from time to time. Firstly, my emergency pizza! Always, when needed for a quick meal, or unexpected guest, I never seem to have any pizza bases in the freezer and havent the time to knock up a batch of pizza ...  Read the complete review

As I am perpetually in a hurry and fairly rubbish at organising myself, I usually end up making emergency dinners far more often than I should. The easiest and quickest emergency meal I have found is a stir fry. It's great for using up leftover meat or vegetables. I always seem to have a little broccoli, a courgette and a few mushrooms ...  Read the complete review

So its getting really late, you may or may not have had a few beers and your unsure what you can make at short notice to satisfy that hunger craving. If i'm honest i'm not a health food nut so my two best fallback recipes (I can't believe i'm even pretending their recipes) are not particularly healthy, so here goes. Recipe ...  Read the complete review

Aside from the obvious take-away's. Here is my list of the best, easiest emergency dinners without resorting to microwave or frozen meals. 1. Beans on Toast - you can always add a twist with this baby! If you have eggs you can have scrambled egg or add some cheese for cheese on toast - with beans - the list is endless, add some ham, or ...  Read the complete review

I have an hectic life - work wise and personal - as so many other's do - however after a long day and work and i sometimes venture towards the gym or an areobics class getting home on a night is often late and means i've been out of the house for 12 hours so needless to say i dont always feel like standing around cooking!! So i go for ...  Read the complete review

Like all mums do, I have two standby meals that we almost always have ingredients in for, and are so easy to make! The first is for when I need to do things around the house, and can't be bothered to mess around cooking but want my daughter to have something hot and filling and hopefully healthy for tea! It is a form of stew, but different in ...  Read the complete review

Emergency Dinners I thought I would add my two emergency dinners to the list! I went to university from 1997 to 2000, those three years were some of the best years of my life, and I somehow managed to survive on next to no money. Obviously the important thing to spend your money on at uni is alcohol, so food is just something to ...  Read the complete review
