When it comes to quick fix meals, it’s hard to beat recipes that only require five simple ingredients! Robin serves up a trio of delicious dinners and a salad that comes together in no time. On the menu are Apricot-Glazed Pork, Chicken with Pistachio-Parsley Pesto and Broccoli and Cheese Calzones. Who knew five ingredients could dish up so much flavor? Wait until you see the shopping list!
Who says risotto has to take a long time? Robin shares her Quick Fix method for making it in advance and uses it in two out of three fast and delicious meals: Parmesan Asparagus Wild Mushroom "Risotto," and a Rice Salad with Teriyaki Tuna. Also on deck: flavorful flank steak served with edamame in a Wasabi-Mustard Dressing, and a tasty snack, Wild Mushroom Turnovers with Romano cheese.
This week: a round of quick fix meals that won’t break the bank, and they’re all based on the low fat, nutrition packed favorite, ground turkey. We’ll stuff it with blue cheese for tasty burgers, work it into a hearty stew and turn it into Souvlaki sandwiches. With hearty sides and a pretty parfait for dessert–sublime and just too easy!
With a little prep work and a quick fix game plan in place, dinner is a breeze! On the menu: Shrimp in a Salsa Verde, an incredibly flavorful pasta dish, and Parmesan Seared Chicken come together in minutes. There's even time for some super easy sides.
Baked chicken breasts with Green Spinach-Horseradish Sauce make a great dinner, but why stop there? Robin makes her chicken multitask later in the week in some delicious sandwiches. She’ll also make a healthy and hearty salmon salad and her own Quick Fix Hummus.
This week chicken is the centerpiece of a trio of affordable, versatile and quick meals. A smoky orange roasted chicken finds it s way into Quesadillas and Thai chicken salad for three delicious and different meals.
In this half-hour, host Robin Miller (nutritionist, author, and host of Quick Fix Meals) meets with two families. First is Ayanna, her new husband John, and her son Olijuwan. They are a busy, professional family that has a kitchen that doesn’t function because of storage issues, and a schedule that makes take out more attractive than cooking. Robin helps Ayanna reorganize and get in control of her kitchen. The family then creates a meal that inspires them to stop ordering out and start cooking at home. They even have an incentive: the honeymoon they never took.
Robin then meets with Paul and his girlfriend, Sarah. They are both athletic and concerned about their health, but have very different diets. She’s a strict vegetarian; he loves eating meat. How to they reconcile their menus? Robin helps them break the myths of each other’s diets and create a meal that allows them to come together at the table.
