Today I just couldn't get my act together. I needed to pick a cookbook to test this week, buy the ingredients, get dinner organized and calm the savage beast " the baby". Not easy! I pulled it off though. I decided to go with The Weeknight Cook, by Williams-Sonoma. The book reads that my "efforts will yield simple, satisfying dishes ready to eat after less than 30 minutes of hands-on cooking." Well this certainly was the book I needed today.I'll be back at work in a few months and I'm very nervous about how I'm going to survive with two energetic kids, work and a hungry family. So I figured I better give this book a try and see if it lives up to its promise.
Today I went with the Tagliatelle with Crab. I had crab in the fridge and I got my husband to pick up the rest of the ingredients. No word of a lie, I finished making this dish in less that 30 minutes....YAHOOO! I was done so early, that my husband decided to go for a walk with the baby.
The meal was good. It was simple and tasty. I wouldn't say it was restaurant quality, but it passed as a good weeknight meal.
If the rest of the meals come together as quickly as this one, then I'm rock'n.
