My mom, and her mom before her, made the meal I’m about to outline on a regular basis.
The Origins of This Dishīefore I move on, I have to give credit where credit is due. Luckily, that’s all I need to make a great, simple, quick, and inexpensive meal at home. When my day looks like the one I described above, I’m looking for a couple things: 1) What’s quick and easy 2) What’s inexpensive and 3) What do I have around the house? Looking through my cupboards, it’s a pretty safe bet I’ll have tomato soup and pasta, and looking through my fridge/freezer, I’ll likely have some sort of meat. These things aren’t realistic, though, so on an average Tuesday night, it’s okay to simply put food on the table that fills the belly and goes down easy.

But if we’re talking like this, it’d also be nice to have a live-in chef or a driver to cart us from one restaurant to another, where we’d indulge in prix fixe menus in private dining rooms. Sure, it would be great to have elegant, gourmet, farm-fresh meals every night. But there’s hope! Cooking does not need to be complex, involved, or over-complicated to be good-especially on a weekday night. Ugggghhhhhh!ĭoes this sound familiar? If so, I’m sorry. I’m tired, I’m hungry, I’m cranky, and I have to feed the family. After putting out one fire after another all day, having consumed only an apple and a cup of coffee over the last nine hours, I swing by to pick up my wife and my son before heading home for the evening. After cleaning up one mess after another (all before 8 a.m.), we hustle out the door, running late (of course), to get him to grandma’s before I head to work. I wake up early because the baby is sick and can’t sleep.
