Super Quick Supper: Jarred, Frozen, and Fresh

I’m not sure what it says about my cooking skills, but sometimes the things I put together on the fly are better than meals I spend lots of time cooking. Here’s a dinner I put together quickly after work so we could eat before our 7:00 Italian class.

This is pressed, oven-baked tofu, oven roasted cubed sweet potatoes, and spinach and green peas in jarred Jalfrezi Curry sauce. I had a few sweet potatoes I wanted to use, and everything else I usually keep on hand: spinach from my smoothie stash, frozen green peas, and tofu.

  2. Sometimes our quickie dinners are the best. Great looking dish! Sounds very tasty! I've never had the Jalfrezi sauce. Did you find it at Whole Foods?

  3. I agree, sometimes quick dinners turn out the best.

    You're taking Italian? Ma, che buono!

  4. Yes, having something semi-homemade is a big help. Michelle, I got this at Kroger. Mine has an Indian section and it was there - I wonder if yours carries it? The brand is Pataks and it's got a purple and gold label.

  5. Looks great I think you need to cook on the fly more often. :-)

  7. I wish my "on the fly" meals looked less like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and more like that.
