So here is one dish that can be made in less than (or about) 10 minutes (that's not pasta) - Polenta + Shrimp + edamame. Take some help from the store and buy the rolls of already cooked polenta.

Cut it into cubes cook it with butter, milk (keep adding until desired consistency, 1/3 cup or more). Keep stirring until smooth, then add shredded parmesan + fresh herbs for flavor. Using a potato masher to mash + stir, makes this go much faster.

Buy a bag of frozen already cooked shrimp. Defrost by running cold water over shrimp. Marinade for 5 minutes in equal parts white balsamic vinegar and lemon juice, 1 clove garlic minced, and a couple of sprigs fresh thyme (or tsp dry). Melt 1 Tbsp butter in saute pan,pour shrimp + about 1/2 of marinade into pan + heat through.

Buy already shelled frozen cooked edamame. Place amount you want to eat in a bowl, with couple of tablespoons of water and cover. Place in microwave for 2 - 4 minutes. When you take it out, salt edamame.

10 minute fancy meal! Thanks for the question! You gave me a good idea for an upcoming blog, so look for a whole blog with 10 minute meals!

Wow! I didn't know a non-cook such as myself could whip up something so tasty. Thank you for the recipe!!!

I made the dish with arborio rice and added portabello mushrooms.

Glad you liked them!

I was eating dinner while reading about the pizzas and the sound of them still made my mouth water! Chicken Caesar salad pizza, yum! And then you started talking about mac and cheese with pumpkin...you had me at home made cheese sauce *drool*

I was too, but it doesn't! As soon as you put the oiled side down on the grill, it sears it. Much easier than I thought it would be. Definitely try it!

I buy trader joes whole wheat dough all the time. I have a new pizza stone :) I wish I Had a BBQ, but maybe at my parents house we will try to grill it. I'd be nervous about the dough falling thru the slats...

2009-08-16T17:00:25.624-07:00

I'm glad you updated. When you are ready to 'release' the mac n cheese recipe (hopefully the winner) please send it my way. I usually use the one in my WIlliams Sonoma Vegetarian cookbook, which is quite nice. I tried Ina Gartner's but it turned out bad. My girlfriend Meg has made that for me twice and when done right, its a really good mac and cheese.
I gotta email you cause we are going to start Connor on solids in the middle of Sept. I have a cookbook, and am planning to make most of his food!

2009-02-17T04:06:00.000-08:00

So Seinfeld's daughter goes to our school (she is in 2nd grade) and I guess Jessica (and her book) has had influence on our kitchen at school. Apparently the mac and cheese recipe they serve is hers and rumor is that there is butternut squash in it. I really like it (the kids complain) and they also started this rumor, which I heard was not actually true that our brownies contained spinich.
I may have to pick up that book at the school's next book fair! I did order a williams sonoma baby cookbook that starts at 6 months. I had seen it advertised so I picked it up and put in the shelf. Do you know anything about that book?
