30 minute meals

Ground Beef Sauerbraten Goulash has all the warm spicy flavor of a traditional sauerbraten but it will be on the table in less than 30 minutes. You’re welcome!!

German Pork Schnitzel has a light lemony flavor in the crispy outside coating. When you want a memorable meal that can be made in minutes, this is the recipe to reach for.

You may say to yourself after reading the ingredient list “Hey!” “What in the world is ground cinnamon and cocoa powder doing in a savory recipe like this?” “And what about the butter and lime juice?” “She has really gone off the deep end with this recipe!” “Has Renee lost her mind?!!”

And my answer would be…Well. Maybe. But not about this recipe.

This recipe for Delicioso White Bean, Fennel & Italian Sausage Soup is one I found, and adapted, from Cooking Light Magazine. I didn’t change the recipe much, but I did add more fennel (because I love the light anise flavor of fennel a lot lately), and I also increased the amount of white beans from the original recipe, and I omitted the sage and parsley because I forgot to purchase them at the market. Doh!

Other than that, this recipe I’m sharing is pretty much just as it was written in the magazine. I DO NOT take credit for this recipe, but I do take credit for sharing it with you here on Kudos Kitchen in case you missed it in Cooking Light Magazine. I strongly urge you to make this soup. It’s delicious!

This 30-minute dinner of Skillet Blueberry BBQ Sauce Chicken can be on your family dinner in a matter of minutes, and with only a handful of ingredients. It’s as fresh flavorful as it is easy to prepare.

As our family has evolved and our kids have moved out on their own, I find that my meal planning has changed. A lot.
