Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!
If you’re the person who never knows what’s for dinner until the very last minute, you’ll love the Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals cookbook, with 250 quick recipes to spice up your dinner from drab to fab.
I love Food Network Magazine, so I was excited to see what their latest book had to offer. As promised, it delivers lots of fast and easy recipes with additional kitchen tips from the stars sprinkled throughout. I especially love the visual recipe index in the front of the book and the Mix & Match sections at the end of each chapter that give you a customizable recipe.
I was also thrilled that they included a number of tasty side dishes. We’re perfectly happy eating basic grilled chicken, pork, and burgers frequently during the warmer months if we can pair them with a variety of sides.
We paired this quinoa with some simple grilled chicken for a fast, easy, filling and tasty meal tonight! It’s a variation on the Israelis Couscous with Raisins recipe. We didn’t have any couscous, so I improvised — and the resulting side was delicious!

I try to plan meals around what is on sale. During the week I plan for quick meals I can prepare after work, and then I make more complicated meals on the weekend. And I always make extra to pack in the kids lunches (and mine)
Graciela
I make a meal plan according to what is on sale at the grocery store that week or what I have in my freezer. I love the FN Mag too! Can’t wait to get win the cookbook!

I usually menu plan the week before and grocery shop on Mondays. However the last couple of weeks I’ve been stuck on what to make…meaning we eat out more and impulse buy….bleh. I prefer having a plan.

I just go with my gut. What sounds ‘fun’ to cook. I love just playing in the kitchen! :-)
Quisicosa
I plan my menu once a month and shop based on that. But then I just make whichever one sounds good to me that evening and cross it off the list. Sort of a controlled chaos approach.
