Ready Made Dinners

The fastest meal is a ready made meal. Fortunately, if you live close to a good grocery store, ready made meals don't have to be expensive (restaurants) or unhealthy (frozen.)

I am very fortunate to live next door to a very good grocery store. The Dominick's in the West Loop (Halsted and Washington) has a really good selection of fresh, healthy meals that you only have to throw in the oven or on the grill.

I have had chicken kabobs in a mango marinade, chicken florentine, and coconut tilipia, all ready in 45 minutes or less with almost no effort from me. My fiancee says he could eat the chicken kabobs once a week they were so good.

The store also has a really good deli department with all kinds of sides, pasta salads, sandwiches, and fresh sushi.

If you're lucky enough to live next door to a grocery store with a similar selection, ready made meals are a great option when 15 minute meals are 15 minutes too much for you.
