5 Minute Meals

Share your 5 minute meals :)

We had one tonight, its mostly cheating but I thought I'd share anyway.

Salmon Steaks
Asian Crispy Salad
2 Minute Microwavable Chinese Flavoured Rice Pouch.

I heated my sandwich grill, then seasoned the Salmon Steaks, put them on to cook for 2 minutes whilst the Rice was being microwaved, then put the salad together. Everything ready in 2 minutes. And it was good. Felt like Temple food even though I cheated.

I have to say I am totally in love with my grill it cuts my cooking times in half at least.

So what are some of your 5 Minute Meals?

Unfortunately the only person we get 5 minute meals from is Ronald! unless its toast.

That is a fabulous meal idea Cailin - I love it! I want to make that tomorrow night.

One I can think of which we had because we couldn't think of anything else that day was lamb and garlic hamburger patties cooked on the stove top, boiled frozen peas, and a flavoured cous-cous sachet. Sounds gross but my hubby and kids loved that one.

Keep those 5 min meal ideas coming cos that's about all I have the energy to make at the moment.....

ours is our pita bread pizzas we just put tomato paste and then whatever on top my kids usually only put ham and pinapple.But i love everthing on mine then put heaps of shreddred cheese on them and put them in the oven for five.There really yummy and they dont take long to make and there good on nights we youre just too tired .

I am pretty sure I have posted this before, but it is my lifesaver.......the kids and DH love it..........

Unfortunaltey I have no 5 min meals to share, where you don't just add hot water and a sachet to a cup
, however with the salmon steaks, I like to cook mine with a sprinkling of Morrocan seasoning from one of those little jars, and usually have one of those rice packs that take about 10 mins plus frozen vegies or a quick salad.

But I do agree that Salmon is a fantastic way to make a quick meal look fantastic. If you were having guests and wanted to impress with about 1/2 an hour of work.

Salmon steaks, with a green salad, potatoe, zuchini and carrot rosti's (food processors are wonderful) for a main.

Follow it up with betty crocker choc fudge brownines (take 5 mins to mix and can cook while your eating your main) with a dollop of thick cream or premium custard.

Takes more than 5 mins, but it can look pretty impressive!! and shouldn't take longer than a half hour.
