What are quick and easy meals to cook for dinner during the week if you work and don't get home til almost 7pm?

When I know I'm going to get home late from work, I often cook fish for dinner. Salmon and Orange Roughy are my favorites. I just lay the thawed fish filets on a baking pan, squeeze lemon on them and add seasonings of my choosing (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, lemon pepper and a little chili powder).

Then I bake the fish at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. While the fish is cooking, I'll make some cous cous (takes about 5 minutes) and steam some broccoli (6-7 minutes). You're dinner will be ready before 7:30pm.

Or, if I have time to prepare the night before or morning of, I will slow cook a pork roast in barbeque sauce on the low setting all day. Voila, when I walk in the door, dinner is done. I just have to pull the pork for a sandwich.

I can even make a side of sweet potato fries in less than twenty minutes.

OH, "hi", you again, nice to meet you again, anyway, uh, as a question to this answer um, "ramon noodles", and if your ever out of work, and need a quick receipe from those times the goverment turns you down unemployment help, then I can personally suggest "cat food", because it tastes so much better than dog food, and I'm not talking about the wet cat food, cause that smells worse than tuna... Anyway, Hope this helps! Bye!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
