I saw a recipe in Real Simple for Quick and Easy Samosas and had to make them. Samosas are an Indian food (read more about them here) with a recipe normally taking quite a long time to prepare; this recipe could not have been more easy to follow or turned out a tastier result. Saving time, you use a store-bought crust, pre-made mashed potatoes (I made my own to cut down on unnecessary additives), frozen peas, chopped onion and spices from your pantry. Our 1 year old daughter could not get enough of this delicious dish and neither could we!

Pad Thai is one of the most popular Thai dishes around, and with a box-style mix from the organic aisle and some fresh chicken and vegetables you can make it in less time than it takes the delivery guy to get to your house! We used Annie Chun’s organic Pad Thai, which came with the rice noodles and sauce. To that we added chicken breast, bean sprouts, garlic and topped finished product with green onions. It’s ready quite quickly and tastes great!
