I’m really enjoying my gig as a member of the Shared Tastes Panel (go ahead, click and check out my fellow panelists!) for ReadySetEat.com. I mean, fer realzies, they are paying me to cook dinner, what could be better? And the recipes are delicious! Here were my two favorites I tried this month:
This Cheesy Chili Mac was the easiest thing I have ever made in my life. And it was SO good! Just a box of regular old mac & cheese mixed with a can of Wolf Brand Chili – ta da! Quick, easy, wonderful comfort food! It was a real hit at my house and definitely one I’ll be making again. Possibly today for lunch ’cause MAN that photo is looking good right now! And I still have both ingredients in my pantry!
My next favorite – Spanish Rice – seriously had me running back for seconds. Happily, I made a whole bunch of it and was also able to have some leftovers the next day which were just as amazing as when the meal was fresh!
What made this meal even more fabulous was that it was E-A-S-Y to make – literally just dumpedabunchofstuffinaskillet and let it simmer. And it was soooo good my mouth is watering as I’m writing this! So, so, SO good. I know Spanish Rice might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of comfort food, but put a little colby jack on the top of this dish and it is extremely comforting. Let me tell ya. And look at all those veggies in there!! Tomatoes, corn, peppers – it’s a winner!
Part of the reason Ready, Set, Eat meals like the ones I’ve talked about are so easy to make is because all of the recipes on the site are seven ingredients or less! And many are all made in just one pan or skillet so clean-up is a snap. I’ve gotten to the point where I look for recipes on the site based on what I’ve got in my pantry and I can almost always find a simple fit – it doesn’t have to be when I’m cooking for review. The site is so easy to use that I’m going to it a couple of times a week. I love the recipe box feature and the fact that you can search by keyword, ingredients, and how much TIME you want to spend preparing the meal. There are so many great features that make finding a recipe for and preparing dinner as simple as possible.
So, if you haven’t checked out ReadySetEat.com yet (but surely you do everything I recommend, right??), GO FOR IT! It really is where you’ll find hundreds of answers to that age-old question: “What’s for dinner?”
Check it out, and let me know what looks good to ya! OR what you’ve already tried!

As I mentioned, I am being compensated for my work on the Shared Tastes Panel. But I pinkie-swear I am telling the truth about these recipes.
You should do a Ready-Set-Eat segment sometime entitled, “Food that even my brother would eat.” I would find that very helpful. 😕
Sarah that is a brilliant idea! Do you think he’d eat the chili mac? The chili is onion-free!
YUM! I am sooo bookmarking that page. Thanks so much!!
Family togetherness while cooking is the best togetherness you can have.
