Scrumptious Speedy Suppers...

Dayna's Mediterranean Chicken

A few weeks ago I taught a class for our Stake Women's Conference on "Speedy Suppers". I probably sounded more like an infomercial for my favorite gadgets that make my life easier, but I also brought 3 dishes so people could sample the food and I gave everyone a packet with 4 complete quick and easy menus.

Roasted Carrots

I am the first to admit that I often do things the hard way so my husband thought it was ironic that I titled the class "Scrumptious Speedy Suppers" and went to bed at 4am after preparing everything! In my defense I must say that the recipes really were speedy but I had to make enough for over 100 people, so that's what took so long. And as long as they are scrumptious...that's the most important part!

A few of my favorite gadgets and quick cookbooks
Things I can't cook without:
Cuisinart Smart Stick Chopper/Grinder/Processor
Smartfork
Microplane
Mandoline
Sea Salt Grinder
Silicone Tipped Tongs
Silpat Pan Liners
and don't forget to keep your pantry stocked for the dreaded "stop by"!

Of course I don't have any of these things. I guess that's why cooking is always so hard for me :) Love all of your recipes and ideas Dayna and love you!
