Fast Family Food: Dining T€te-A-T?te

For today’s life patterns, “Fast Family Food” is a concept that can’t be beat. This entire meal takes less than an hour from start to sit-down-and-eat. It features a Thirty Minute Skillet Dinner to be served with a tossed greeri salad and for dessert, gingerbread or cake topped with Nutmeg Custard Sauce. The Skillet Dinner consists of ground chuck and seasonings cooked in a rich sauce that gets its home-made flavor from canned, whole-peeled tomatoes, and juice. Allow this lively combination of ingredients to boil gently for five minutes; then add macaroni. Cover and cook ten or fifteen minutes more, or until macaroni is tender. While the macaroni is cooking, you can make a marvelous Nutmeg Custard Sauce to serve warm for dessert over store-bought cake. Liquid instant nonfat milk gives the sauce protein richness without a lot of butterfat calories. Combine milk mixture with beaten eggs as directed. Add vanilla and nutmeg for a distinctive flavor. Cover pan to keep sauce warm during dinner, but don’t place the pan back over a burner. Note: this sauce is excellent cold too. Refrigerate leftover sauce. Serve it cold the next day -over canned peaches or a fresh fruit compote of oranges and bananas.
