30 Minute Meals was Italian Meatballs Question

Melba's Jammin'

Thanks for the tips. I'm planning on making up a batch of meatballs later today so will try the baking method.

I started uni when my youngest started kindergarten and continued for over 10 years. Due to family and educational constraints, I became a master at 30 Minute Meals. I was determined to put homecooked, tasty meals on the table so I had to find a way to do it. I like Rachel Ray because she comes up with ideas that back then I would have welcomed with open arms. With careful planning and a little pre-prep on the weekends, most nights I could put a nice, homecooked meal on the table in less than 30 minutes. One trick is to have versatile pre-made things like meatballs on hand in the freezer. Seasoned ground beef is another time saver. Frozen cbutteroles are great too if you pop them in the oven and set the timer to go on at a certain time leaving you only the salad prep. A breadmaker with a timer is deligtful for enjoying fresh bread with almost no effort. I never really got the hang of the slow cooker since I was never much in the mood to chop vegetables at 5 am and by the time I got to bed around midnight most nights, I was too tired to chop vegetables.
