Easy Skillet Meal

By , About.com Guide

Skillet meals are wonderful for busy moms and anyone who doesn't have much time to cook. And this recipe can be made with items that are easily stored in your pantry and freezer. It also is delicious reheated in the microwave oven, so you can leave a (microwave-safe) plate full in the fridge for anyone late coming home.

All you need is a salad from a bag, with some homemade dressing to make it special, and an easy ice cream pie will sit in the freezer until you're ready to eat it. Yum!

Easy Skillet Menu

  • Greek Shrimp and Rice
    I love the combination of flavors and textures in this easy recipe. You could substitute any other canned meat for the shrimp, or use canned drained beans instead for a hearty vegetarian version. See how flexible cooking is?
  • Simple Green Salad
    This versatile dressing can be served on everything from baby spinach to exotic mixed greens.
  • Frozen Pumpkin Pie
    Pumpkin pie isn't just for Thanksgiving! This delicious recipe is perfect for busy weeknight meals. Enjoy.
