Food Fun and Facts Recipe for Chik'n and Broccoli Fettuccine
Meatless Meals in Minutes
(Family Features) - What's for dinner? Between work, school and
evening activities, this question is often left unanswered until the
last minute. However, if you want a meal that is fast, convenient and
better for you than most take-out options, consider going meatless.
There are many meat substitute products available in your grocery
store freezer that can be the cornerstone of any weeknight meal.
Because they can be prepared in a variety of ways - on the stove,
microwave or grill - you can choose which preparation is best for your
schedule. With substitution options for everything from ribs and
burgers to chicken and even sausage, the frozen meatless products can
satisfy just about any palate. Best of all, they can be prepared and
paired with a few side dishes for a simple, hearty meal in minutes, or
used as ingredients in a host of delicious, meatless recipes.
For example, the Mango Riblet Wrap, with the new MorningStar Farms
Hickory BBQ Riblets, is a quick meal option - it takes just 15 minutes
to prepare - that's ideal when dinner is on-the-go. For your next
sit-down family meal, try the Chik'n and Broccoli Fettuccine. Since it
takes just 10 minutes to prepare, you'll have more time to catch up
with your family around the dinner table.
