Food & Wine’s fast and my fast are 2 different things

Jump to Comments

I generally like Food & Wine magazine.  In fact I used to subscribe.  But for awhile there it went from recipes you could actually make to some pretty esoteric stuff.  Interesting to read about but as a busy Mom I just didn’t have time to check it out.

So I was cruising headlines at Fresh Market yesterday [which by the way is a rocking grocery and I'm so excited that one finally opened here on the Hill] and I see the headline 30 Best Fast Recipes Ever.  So I get excited — I’m going to pick it up, make a few, share the good ones with you guys…

So I open it up to see the time.  30 minutes.  35 minutes.  40 mintues.  Is that what they consider fast?  Are they kddding?  When I have time to cook I’ll spend hours.  But on weeknights when homework, dinner prep, family dinner time,  reading time, bath, brushing, flossing, bed, make tomorrows lunches with the occasional after school activity thrown in for fun are all on the agenda at the same time, I don’t think 40 minutes is going to fly.

What about you?  Do you think 40 minutes is too much for a weeknigh?  I’d love to hear your thoughts.
