This has been a week of must cook dinner FAST. For some reason, this is always a challenge for us because the things I consider fast typically come out of boxes and frankly, we never have boxes of anything more than cereal and past. David discovered a terrific solution - Dutch Baby. Turn on oven to 450, run eggs, milk and flour through the blender, throw in cast iron skillet, shove skillet in oven. 20 min later - dinner. David made a simple icing - melted butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice. It was fabulous. WE have since found variations that include ham and swiss cheese or suggest throwing berries on top. I think the possibilities are endless.
The meal reminded us of advice from two very different people. Lynn Rossetto Casper advices that when you don't know what to make for dinner, turn the oven on to 350. By the time it's warm, you'll have something figured out. The other piece of advice comes from one of our favorite people that has ever been on this earth - Grandma Pop. Always keep eggs on hand because when you have extra people for lunch, you can always make eggs. There are endless possibilities with eggs, and none take very long.
Didn't have any more vanilla ice cream for the strawberries. Cookies and cream is a good substitute....now to eat before it melts.
