It's Dinnertime!

6 Ideas for Dinner in a Hurry continued...

3. INSTANT ASIAN
One thing I always have up my domestic sleeve is Hibachi House — totally yummy frozen microwavable Asian dinners. I kid you not, I can have it on the table in less time than it takes to find the phone number and place an order at my local teriyaki take-out place.

4. QUICKIE PIZZAS
Our favorite 10-minute meal is Boboli pizza crust, bagels, or English muffins topped with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese and then popped in the toaster oven for a few minutes.

5. SIMPLY SANDWICHES
Our standby dinner is peanut butter sandwiches with carrots and apple slices on the side. As unimaginative as that is, we always have the ingredients, and no one ever seems to tire of that combo.

6. EGGS ANY WAY
Nothing cooks faster than eggs — and they go with just about anything you happen to have in the fridge. I make fried-egg sandwiches with cheese, and ham if I have it; scrambled egg burritos with cheese and salsa; or omelets filled with whatever I have — cheese, mushrooms, olives.
—Kara Paul, 34, Hackettstown, NJ
