Quick and easy meals will always have a place in my home. With kids, work, and all the things in-between, spending a long period of time making food does not always appeal to me.
Since our little boy turned four months, he is spending a lot of time awake which leaves me with one hand for most meals.
We have to keep it simple and this 15 minute Carne Asada is a perfect solution that the whole family enjoys.
Another quick 15 minute meal I like is Blackened Pork Chops with a simple side salad.
