They are simple, full meals that take very little time to prepare and thus can be served in minutes.

Some of the ingredients are a little difficult to find for a reasonable price. More budget friendly recipes, please especially for folks living outside large metro areas. Though some items may be purchased online, those are often more expensive and frequently must be purchased in large quantities.
