As a working mom with two jobs, cooking dinner every night can be a real challenge. Thankfully, we all have recipes in our arsenal that will get dinner on the table quickly without having to resort to carry out or the dreaded boxed convenience meals.
For me, getting dinner on the table quickly comes down to having a well stocked pantry and freezer of several staples. In my freezer and pantry, you can always find puff pastry, chicken breasts, a variety of soup mixes, salad dressings, vegetables, and of course, rice and pasta.
One of our favorite 30-minute, quick meals is sweet & sour chicken, made at home with only 7 ingredients, including the rice as a side dish.
