Seventy 30 Minute Main Dish Recipes!

Thirty minute recipes are all the rage; witness the huge success of Rachael Ray's 30 minute empire. Considering that back in the 1960s women used to spend more than three hours making the family dinner, I think it's quite something that these recipes still feed your family well in much less time.

These fabulous recipes are all very versatile too. You can make the Seafood in Patty Shells recipe with chopped ham instead of the shrimp and crab, or use chicken. Tropical Beef can become Tropical Chicken or Tropical Red Snapper. Use your imagination and 'taste' the recipe in your mind. And be sure to write down all of your successes so you can recreate them!

Enjoy these easy and fast recipes this week.
