Fusilli Turkey Skillet Meal

Growing up in a busy household my mom would do her best to make sure their was a meal ready for dinner so we could all sit down and eat during the weekdays together, when there wasn't much time to stir up a meal mom would make something quick to feed the hungry household and at the same time make sure that it was filling and flavourful, this meal goes somewhat along the lines that I learned growing up.

The skillet meal is something we can all make when we are pressed for time and you can make it with either ground turkey or ground beef, ground anything you like really. The meal is done and ready to eat in about 20 minutes time, the key here is to have a skillet large enough to fit the pasta and ground turkey at the same time. A large skillet or wok would work best for you. Don't worry if you don't have fusilli on hand, penne can work just as well. I also looked for a version that was low in calories but offered the same great taste.

Spicy Kidney Bean Stew with Sausage

Growing up in a Western European family, there where always a few dishes that I loved when my family made it. The spicy kidney bean stew with sausage was right up there. I really enjoyed the richness of the beans, the sauce that I would use bread for dipping and the smoked sausage with its spicy flavour really gave it that final kick. This was one meal that I would not hesitate asking for seconds and at times thirds.

The dish takes just over 30 minutes to make and is a warm meal on a cold night but this doesn't mean you can't enjoy it when its hot outside. The choice of kidney beans is important, make sure you choose a brand name for a few cents more it will keep the beans from going mushy. The choice of sausage is up to you, you can go with a mild smoked sausage if your not a fan of spice. I personally enjoy the hot version of smoked sausage. You can pick up the sausage at your local butcher shop.

Garlic Baked Basa Fish

The Basa Fish as it is known in North America is a type of catfish that is native to Asia, the white fish is a fresh water fish and can be bought at relatively cheap price due to them being a very fast growing fish. The Basa Fish is becoming a very popular in North America not only for it's low price but the fact it is a very tasty fish. The fish is high in protein and low in fat and contains the good fat that we all need in Omega 3.

This recipe takes less then 30 minutes to bake and is great for a week night meal, if you make a few servings then you can take it to work for lunch the next day or have it again for dinner the following night. Baking fish is one of the healthier ways you can make fish and more importantly your home wont have any odor as you would get from frying the fish. Add your favourite side to go along with the Basa, whether that be rice, pasta or vegetables.
