June 8th - Quick and Easy...Spaghetti with meat sauce, peas/carrots and breadsticks!

Sooo, it was close to 5:40p on June 8th and I had no ideas for dinner yet. So, I defrosted some lean ground beef in the microwave and cooked it up using a combination of onion powder, Badia Sazon, celery salt, pepper to taste, Lowry's season salt and a touch of cumin.

While that was cooking up, I started some vegetables to boil. This night we went with peas and carrots since I know the kids love them.

I sprinkled them with parmesan cheese and tossed some garlic butter bread sticks in the toaster oven while I boiled the spaghetti noodles. I added my favorite jar sauce - Rinaldi's meat sauce (since my hubby isn't a veggie fan), mixed in the ground beef, and put it all together for a quick, super-easy, tasty meal that they all loved! I think it is important to remember that quick meals don't have to mean unhealthy meals. It doesn't mean chicken nuggets in the microwave. You can still throw together a great, tasty, mostly home cooked meal in a little amount of time. This is a great "go-to" meal idea. Bon appetit!
