Need Quick Family Recipe for Mom of 4

[soulsing]

I'm doing a show in Alabama for a working mom of 4 kids who would like me to prepare an easy, quick recipe she can put together to feed her family for supper. Got any ideas? I thought of the Taco Ring, but I've done that already for some of the people in her group. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks a bunch!

What about lasagna? It's something she can prepare the evening before and then bake once she gets home! If you did that as the demo, you would have to have it done and baking before the guests get there, since it has do cook so long. Plus, this would really show how well things bake in the stoneware. No more unedible hard corners!

30 minute chicken (can make other things with chicken...I have a great recipe for quick chic. enchiladas that even kids love. Chicken tacos, chicken pot pie, etc.) You could have the chicken done before the show, talk about how easy it is to prepare, and then demo a recipe using the chicken as an ingredient.

Lasy Lasagna Chili (the name might not be right...it's in the soups stews and chili cards)

Thinking for more ideas for you!

Any other ring would be great. When I do rings I talk about how you can make any kind of filling you want and put it in a ring. It's a really versatile idea.

Family Sized Baked Burrito comes to mind.

I recently made the Philly Cheesteak roll thingy (from the old Stoneware SEnstations book) and it was really yummy.

The new Jerk Chicken (with pasta) is very fast and very good.

The Lemon Chicken Pasta Toss from SS06 SB is awesome.

Make spaghetti, bread and salad. That meal could use a ton of products - cookware, colander, stone (to do the bread), salad chopper, microplane or cheese grater, SA, etc...

None of those take more than 30 minutes from cupboard to table.

Why not do a soup ahead of time for her guests to eat while you prepare a few meals for her freezer? Is that the power cooking show?? I forget what it is called. But you could make some BBQ Chicken, Mexican Chicken and some Mushroom chicken. Mix it all in freezer bags and label them so that next time she is short on time, she just needs to pull a bag out and throw it in a deep dish baker and cook!
