For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to imipramine: compounding powder, intramuscular solution, oral capsule, oral tablet
One study has suggested that as many as 85% of treated patients may experience dry mouth.
Several cases of acute angle closure glaucoma have been attributed to the anticholinergic effects of imipramine.
Anticholinergic side effects have been reported in as many as 50% of patients taking imipramine and include dry mouth, blurry vision, constipation and urinary retention.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects are common. General stimulation (manifested by insomnia and subjective and objective evidence of increased activity) have been reported frequently. Drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, sleep abnormalities, myoclonus, tinnitus, jitteriness, tremor, delirium, cognitive impairment (especially in the elderly), and seizures have also been reported.
One study has suggested that as many as 34% of treated patients may develop myoclonus.
Some investigators have estimated an incidence of 4 to 5 imipramine- induced seizures per 1000 treated patients.
A case of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been reported in one patient taking neuroleptics whose imipramine was abruptly discontinued.
Nearly all selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mixed serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants cause sleep abnormalities to some extent. These antidepressants have marked dose-dependent effects on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing reductions in the overall amount of REM sleep over the night and delays the first entry into REM sleep (increased REM sleep onset latency (ROL)), both in healthy subjects and depressed patients. The antidepressants that increase serotonin function appear to have the greatest effect on REM sleep. The reduction in REM sleep is greatest early in treatment, but gradually returns towards baseline during long-term therapy; however, ROL remains long. Following discontinuation of therapy the amount of REM sleep tends to rebound. Some of these drugs (i.e., bupropion, mirtazapine, nefazodone, trazodone, trimipramine) appear to have a modest or minimal effect on REM sleep.
Cardiovascular side effects associated with imipramine can be clinically significant. Orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, PR interval prolongation, QRS widening, other conduction abnormalities and malignant arrhythmias have been reported. Vasospasm involving the extremities has been reported rarely. One study has found the relative risk of myocardial infarction to be 2.2 times greater in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants including imipramine.
Both antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects have been reported in association with tricyclic therapy. Caution should be exercised if imipramine must be used in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Psychiatric side effects have included mania, hypomania, suicidal ideation, paradoxical aggressiveness, mental status changes, and worsening of other psychiatric illnesses.
A study of 26,005 antidepressant users has reported 2.3 times more upper GI bleeding episodes with the use of non-SSRI's. Upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding was observed in 3.5 times more frequently in patients receiving imipramine.
Gastrointestinal side effects most frequently include dry mouth and constipation. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported. Fatal adynamic ileus has also been reported (usually during concomitant treatment with other psychotropic agents).
Although imipramine is not addicting, withdrawal symptoms, including nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, akathisia, nausea, malaise, sweating and salivation have been reported after abrupt discontinuation.
Genitourinary problems have included urinary retention and male and female sexual dysfunction.
One study of patients treated with various antidepressants has reported that 16 of 29 patients treated with imipramine admitted to sexual dysfunction. Decreased libido, more time reaching orgasm and difficulty reaching orgasm were cited as the most common dysfunctions.
Hematologic side effects have included rare instances of reversible agranulocytosis and eosinophilia.
Endocrinologic side effects are rare and have included hypoglycemia and hyponatremia (in association with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone).
Hepatic side effects are rare and have included elevated liver function tests, drug-induced hepatitis, and acute hepatic failure.
All cases of alopecia have been reported in women. All patients reported resolution or improvement from the hair loss within several months of discontinuation of the drug.
Dermatologic side effects include sweating most frequently. Urticaria, angioedema, pruritus, and hyperpigmentation have been reported more rarely. Several cases of alopecia have also been reported.

The father of the 20-year-old victim of an alleged drive-by shooting by a 63-year-old man questions the severity of the charges against the man he alleges tried to kill his son.
Albert Scott, 63, of Ville Platte currently is charged with assault by drive by shooting. According to Police Chief Neal Lartigue, Scott fired two shots through the back glass at another vehicle while driving on E. Main St. near the intersection of Chataignier St. around 8 p.m. Sunday night.
"With both shots going through the back glass and one bullet lodging in the dashboard of the vehicle," Lartigue said.
No one was injured, but the victim's father, Danny Bellard, suggested that Scott should be charged with attempted murder.
"I just don't understand why he isn't charged with attempted murder. He also should be charged with discharging a firearm," Bellard said.
Lartigue indicated that the case still continues as the alleged shooter remains in custody.
"The matter is still under investigation and it will be sent to the district attorney," Lartigue explained.
The victim's father said that one of his son's friends witnessed the incident and was able to provide to police the license plate of the alleged perpetrator's vehicle.

In his heyday, Professor Charles K. Kao was a pioneer in the field of fiber optics. In 2009 he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics. Today, at age 79, Kao no longer is able to read or speak, because he suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
As hard as life is for Gwen Kao, his wife for more than 50 years and primary caregiver, she created The Charles K. Kao Foundation in his honor to raise awareness for the disease and educate the public about what can be done.

As the severity of tornadoes in the Tennessee Valley has increased, so has interest in the installation of home storm shelters. A continual stream of visitors checked out the interiors of two Fiberglas styles from Safety 1st Storm Shelters. Owner Jeff Brock, right, said the in-ground shelters are available in sizes that hold six, eight, 10, 12 or even 20 people. The steel, weather-resistant, impact-tested door, shown upper right, is the only visible part of the shelter once it is installed.

Can one prepare a tasty spaghetti sauce/gravy without meat
I'm craving a bowl of macaroni but don't have the time to cook the "meats" that gives the sauce that flavor?
re: fourunder
My thoughts exactly on the mushrooms-adds umami.
re: monavano
Another sneaky trick is to add a bit of fennel seed, since it's a flavor that is closely associated with Italian sausage.
re: katecm
That's a fantastic idea-must make mental note!
re: monavano
I started doing that too, I crush them first so they're not noticable.
re: katecm
I don't add fennel but do add anise seed. Love what the smallest amount adds. It's a trick I learned from my "fabulous" auntie Glo that frequented a very famous Italian Ristorante in Santa Monica for many years........ She had a little too much wine one night and asked their secret for the superb gravy...............their answer " anise seeds .. Shuuh"
re: iL Divo
I thought fennel and anise are the same. No?
re: c oliver
No...they are in the same flavor family (licorice-like) -- but are not the same creature. Fennel is generally a much lighter flavor.
I adore fennel and will eat it raw or cooked, but anise makes me gag.
re: sunshine842
Seems like I'm constantly learning new things on CH. This Wiki citation has good info.
re: fourunder
Skip the onions and garlic, and use shallots instead. Mushrooms (especially dried porcini, chanterelles or morels) and shallots make a great base.
Absolutely you can. Mrs. go-to spaghetti is meatless. She sautees onion and occasionally some garlic in olive oil until soft, adds canned San Marzanos with their liquid, adds some salt, and lets them go as long as is tolerable. The whole mix gets pureed and dressed with lots of hard cheese (parmesan/romano). Not sure if skipping the meat is actually a time-saver, but it can readily be done.
re: gilintx
add a beef bouillon cube or two...(but don't add any other salt!) -- gives you a meaty flavor without the meat. (just let it dissolve in the sauce; don't add it dissolved in water.)
re: sunshine842
I often add anchovies or worcestshire sauce to marinara to give it a little body. It's not the same as meat sauce, but it makes a fine meal.
re: sunshine842
Bov-ril or Maggi or Bouquet Kitchen Garni is good too.
A really basic marinara sauce is quite servicable as a quick tomato sauce for spaghetti or indeed any other macaroni.
Fry some chopped garlic in olive oil till golden. Add a can of tomatoes, either "kitchen ready" or chopped. Season with salt & pepper and either dried oregano or dried basil...or both. If you have fresh herbs they're best added at the end. Simmer for about 20 minutes - or till the pasta is cooked. Toss the drained pasta into the sauce and there you are...Dinner. Don't forget the freshly grated Parmigiano or Pecorino.
DH makes the sauce in our house (just had some last night). To the tomato sauce, there is also diced onion, diced red, green yellow and orange peppers, mushrooms, olives, fresh basil, garlic and italian spices. He also adds italian sausage and ground beef, but you can omit those. It makes a nice hearty sauce. Sometimes there is also a can of peeled, diced tomatoes so it has a more chunky sauce. I agree about a medley of mushrooms as well. Some are sliced, some are whole buttons, etc. Use whatever you find at your local market.
re: boyzoma
This is pretty close to what I had for lunch today except only green peppers and a healthy shake of crushed red peppers flakes.
re: southernitalian
You can also use this basic recipe and add chicken instead of beef/sausage and serve over wide egg noodles. Yummy. And to spice it up, add a little cajun seasoning.
Soaking dried porcini mushrooms in some boiling water and then using the soaking liquid in the sauce adds a nice hearty flavor, too. I like to use both the chopped porcinis and fresh mushrooms that have been sauteed until golden brown when I do this to amp up the mushroom flavor. The sauce needs to simmer after the soaking liquid is added so it isn't too thin. Lots of fresh garlic and good olive oil help, too
how about a nut-based sauce? That's the most common type in our house. Any type of "pesto" where you throw pretty much any combo of greens, cheese, and nut into a food processor with some garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. The Mediterranean diet cookbook also has a great walnut/ricotta pasta sauce recipe, though it does involve a saucepan and a few extra mins of cooking time (vs. pesto).
Most Italian sauces are meatless, as opposed to a ragu. Lots of pasta cookbooks can give you hundreds of ideas, from pasta all'aglio e olio to simply tossing it with sauteed bread crumbs.
I note the basic marinara in the thread. I learned it as five cloves of garlic chopped, sauteed briefly in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Cook for about 30 second--not more than a minute or it gets bitter. Add chopped tomatoes--canned is fine. Simmer for just enough time to meld flavors--about five minutes, ten at the most. Put in a handful of fresh basil to melt and serve with pasta. This dish, by the way, is traditionally not served with cheese. Which isn't to prevent you from making something like a pasta alla carbonara without bacon but with sauteed onions, eggs, and cheese. There are really hundreds of meatless ways to sauce pasta. Buonassisi's book on classic pasta lists so many, though the book is not as well organized as you might like. (Check for it used on line.) I like many of the options of Eric Mane in her Pasta Improvvisata (in English, in spite of the title).
Browning some ground beef and/or sausage before sauteeing the garlic and onions doesn't add more than 5 minutes to the prep time for spaghetti sauce - even less if you prep the vegetables while the meat is browning. It's not the same as a day-long "Sunday gravy" but is certainly heartier than marinara sauce.
One trick I learned to give a really deep flavor to a quick tomato sauce is to add some tomato paste to onions, garlic and whatever other veggies you're using, and to saute it until it browns -- don't burn it, just let it get a rich red-brown color. Then you can add tomatoes, sauce, whatever you like, and the flavor will be much fuller.
re: alaughingdog
Yes, this works beautifully. Sometimes, I also add some roasted garlic to the mix just before the tomatoes go in.
Well this is not a time saver, but is an outstanding pasta sauce meat or no meat.
Google "Worlds Best Pasta Sauce" (AllRecipies) and make it with out the meat, add diced/sliced mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, olives...what ever sounds good. I also sometimes add Gimmie Lean Sausage by Light Life foods. This would probably also make a great pizza sauce. I use less sugar than called for.
I've used porcini powder in spaghetti sauce, it makes a difference. I like it in roast beef hash too--it's not overkill, it's umami, as monavano said above.
Mario Batali has this recipe where he used roasts fresh cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and I think some garlic. He smashes them with his hands over pasta. Marcella Hazan has a butter tomato recipe that is amazing. Just remember if you are not using a ton of ingredients, the general rule is that for better flavor, you must use really quality ingredients.
you averse to anchovies? they really help in a tomato sauce, along with mushrooms, onions, garlic (and i like olives). always use some freshly ground fennel seeds, too -- or freshly minced fennel bulb. cubed eggplant makes a terrific, "meaty" addition.
I've found that good beef stock or Better Than Bouillon can impart more meat flavor to a sauce than actual meat does.
I concur about anchovy paste for a bit of extra savor. Just a touch adds umami without being perceptible as fishiness in the end result.
I often use the old European trick of heating a bay leaf in the oil for a minute or two before adding anything else, removing it before I sauté my onions for a few minutes, then my garlic for two minutes only before the tomatoes go in.
One technique that helps a lot is to utilize herbs in several different small batches: a bit in the beginning with your onion (but hold off on adding basil early on), a little more when you add the tomatoes; this gives deeper dimension to the herb taste. And another bit right before the finish will brighten the dish considerably, especially with fresh herbs as noted above..
Caramelizing tomato paste a bit first as someone has commented does indeed add depth of flavor. While we're on the subject of sweet notes, a grated carrot does a better job of mitigating the acid of tomatoes than the typical addition of sugar. As with anchovy, it's not recognizable as a distinct flavor by the time it's cooked down.
And a few drops of Maggi adds subtly to just about any sauce. Or gravy. Or stew. Or soup...
Google "marcella hazan tomato sauce butter." Easiest tomato sauce in the world. And it tastes so good. I always use canned tomatoes when I make it. And I probably make it once a month.
It's called "Tomato Sauce III" and you'll find it on p. 95 of THE CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKBOOK, so it's probably in ESSENTIALS OF CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING, the currently available compilation of Marcella's first two books (I _think_. Since I have the original two, I didn't buy ESSENTIALS.)
My friends like my spaghetti puttanesca best of all, and except for the anchovy, there is not meat. Can be made from what's in your pantry.
re: pdxgastro
Lentils should only take a half-hour or so to cook to tender...too much if the OP is looking for immediate gratification, but pretty manageable if the OP is looking to make something from scratch (which seems to be the case).
You could let them simmer while you build the rest of the sauce, then stir them in when they're tender.
I have to say, I really love my vegan bolognese sauce! It's got lentis, tempeh and mushrooms! It really gives you that meat sauce satisfaction. Here's a photo: http://www.whatwouldcathyeat.com/2010...
And here's the recipe:
Vegan Bolognese Sauce
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 8-oz. package tempeh, crumbled
8 oz. cremini or white mushrooms, chopped
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 t. dried oregano
1 t. dried basil
1/2 c. dried red lentils
1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 28-oz can whole tomatoes, undrained, chopped
1 c. dry red wine
1/4 c. chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 t. fennel seed
1/2 t. salt, or up to 1 t., to taste
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large dutch oven. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and crushed red pepper, and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat up a bit, add the mushrooms and tempeh and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Lower the heat back to medium, stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the remaining ingredients except salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until the lentils are just tender. This usually takes 20 minutes, but I've had some lentils take an hour – possibly because my tomatoes were salted, which can toughen the lentils. So keep tasting it along the way to determine when it's done. If the sauce gets too dry, add a bit of water. Add salt at the end of the cooking time. Serve on whole wheat spaghetti or use in lasagna.
re: cathyeats
re: cathyeats
i liked your blog. your recipe looks interesting. i haven't used tempeh.

FORT WORTH — Frontiers is certainly an appropriate title for the Fort Worth Opera's new-music series. In contrast to the mainstage performances in Bass Hall, Frontiers presents pieces of operas so new they're not even finished yet.The series is tucked safely away in McDavid Studio across Calhoun Street from the Bass. Judging by Thursday's and Friday's sessions, some of the operas would have a tough time crossing the street to the Bass — at least without howls of outrage from the Butterfly crowd. They're just a little too frontierish.The idea of Frontiers is to give a hearing to works in progress, with performances by young singers in town for the Fort Worth Opera festival and commentary by experienced professionals. From more than 80 submissions, eight works were chosen for this year's Frontiers.The singers were backed by two pianists and two conductors, taking turns, and performances were without staging or costumes.The subject matter was certainly varied, and in some cases far-out. When's the last time you saw an opera about a transgendered person's changeover? Or one about a dominatrix or a robotic servant-lover?The work about gender was Alex in Transition, with words and music by Anthony Green. The opera — or rather, the extract heard Friday — is serious in tone. Mostly it consists of a lengthy lament by a man about the trials of being misgendered, with two brief episodes in which a woman, representing the man's other self, joins him in humming.The significance of this is not clear, but maybe the work in its entirety would clear up the point. Certainly, the idea of one person singing a duet with himself (or herself) is interesting.Green's music makes its dramatic points, and I think I detected a change in character and mood depending on which facet of the protagonist's self was being emphasized.The opera about the dominatrix and the robot (each has its own act) was Three Way, with music by Robert Paterson and text by David Cote. This was a tongue-in-cheek thing good for quite a few laughs, though the no-holds-barred language would raise some gasps from a conventional operatic audience.The idea that the perfect man would be a robot merited a few smiles, and the list of things the customer wanted the dominatrix to do raised the thought: "Are there really people who want that stuff done to them?"Paterson's score had some nice jazzy measures, but the music tended to pale in contrast to the many yucks.The piece that probably has the best shot at production is Herschel Garfein's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which of course is based on Tom Stoppard's comedy. It got its share of laughs with a clever cast on Thursday evening and had a listenable score, though again the music tended to take a back seat. Fertile Ground, with music by David Vayo and words by Nancy Steele Brokaw, was a winner musically, with a Coplandesque score and a folksy, rather elegiac text.The other works featured were In a Mirror, Darkly, with music by Christopher Weiss and text by S. O'Duinn Magee; Something to Live For, with music and words by Ronnie Reshef; Precari, with music and libretto by Brent Straughan; and Voir Dire, with music by Matthew Peterson and text by Jason Zencka.I felt that Precari has real promise, but the high tessitura of the soprano soloist was tiring, and the segment went on too long.Singers taking part were Kerriann Otaño, Clara Nieman, Ian McEuen, Mat Moeller, Dane Suarez, Meredith Browning, Meaghan Deiter, Cristina Castro, Kevin Newell, Claire Shackleton, Dan Kempson, Steven Eddy, Aaron Sorenson, Corrie Donovan, Megan Garvin and Jesse Enderle.

Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
RALEIGH, N.C. — Jonathan Toews' demeanor said it all. The Blackhawks center, who's epitomized by his seriousness, was relaxed, funny and content Sunday night at the All-Star Game.
In the end, it was just good for Toews and his Hawks All-Star teammates — defenseman Duncan Keith and forwards Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane — and their coaches — Joel Quenneville and Mike Haviland — to get away from the grind of a season marred by inconsistencies.
''It's different because you're always answering the same questions [elsewhere],'' Toews said. ''Back home, it's always about a win or loss and what you have to do. Sometimes you just talk about the simple things, what the team needs to do better and this and that.
''[At the All-Star Game], it's just a lot of guys mixing it up and having fun with the media and the fans. It's a good time for everybody.''
By the end of the weekend, nobody had a better time than Sharp, who was named the MVP of the game after a goal, two assists, five shots and a plus-2 rating. It may have been in a losing effort, as Nicklas Lidstrom's team defeated Eric Staal's team 11-10, but Sharp did more than enough to show he belongs among the league's best
Sharp, the Hawks' leading goal scorer, was one of the most notable omissions on the All-Star ballot when it came out in November. The NHL added him to the All-Star Game this month, but being named MVP is vindication.
''I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bothered by it,'' Sharp said of the ballot. ''It was motivation to play well. . . . I'm proud to be a Blackhawk in the All-Star Game, and things worked out.''
It was even better to do it in front of his parents, Ian and Ruth Ann Sharp, after inclement weather affected their travel plans. The Sharps' flight from Newark, N.J., was canceled, but they were fortunate enough to meet people from Raleigh, jump in a minivan and drive from midnight to 8 a.m. to make the game.
Sharp said the Honda Crosstour EX-L he received for winning the MVP award most likely will go to his other brother, Chris.
''I played hockey because my older brother did," Sharp said. "We are the standard hockey family. It's my brother and I, and we both played. It seemed like every other day my mom and dad were driving to a rink to either pick us up or drop us off.''
Sharp has bragging rights over Kane, Keith and especially Toews. Keith and Kane each finished with an assist Sunday. Toews, who needed a second chance to defeat Sharp in the accuracy challenge Saturday, had a goal and two assists.
''I'll be sure to bring it up a few times,'' Sharp said. ''Jonathan and I have some unfinished business with the accuracy shooting. . . . We'll have to do something back in Chicago.''
Quenneville, who coached Team Staal, said it will be easy to switch from fun to work after All-Star weekend. And there's a lot to be done with 32 games left in the regular season. Practices resume today.
Sharp, Kane, Toews and Keith will re-join the Hawks tonight in Columbus, Ohio, before a meeting with the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
''It was fun, and it was a change of pace,'' Quenneville said. ''We'll get back, and [for] the second part of the season, let's really take off from here.''
Keith said he enjoyed hanging out with old Hawks teammates Dustin Byfuglien and Martin Havlat — who joined him on Team Lidstrom — and getting ''away from the regular grind.''
But the rest of the season — and a tight playoff race — was still in the back of his mind.
''You never completely just leave it behind,'' Keith said. ''We'll move on [today] and get ready for Columbus.''

Working mom needs some cooking inspiration
I'm a working mom, and I've found that I'm in a total cooking rut lately. Or, as my husband puts it, I've lost my cooking mojo.
I basically have 30 minutes or less from the time I walk through the door to get dinner on the table (or meltdown city ...). This means, either very simple recipes, or a lot of pre-prep the night before.
My daughter is a pretty good eater and will at least try most things (even if she doesn't like everything), though heat-spicy stuff she won't. Family favorites are roast chicken, chicken soup, peanut soba noodles, enchiladas, pasta (of course!), roasted sausage with peppers, tofu stir fry ...
What do you cook for your family that is a crowd pleaser? I'd so appreciate some inspiration!
Try searching this board for discussions of cookbooks of quick recipes, and other similar searches, like this: http://www.chow.com/search?q=quick+me...
Also Jacques Pepin's PBS shows, (More) Fast Food My Way, which have accompanying cookbooks, are running now on CreateTV, a PBS channel. As is Sara's Weeknight Meals.
Also try Jamie Oliver's 20 minute meals.
This is an easy, delicious go to for me, Lidia's poor man's risotto. The longest part is dicing the vegetables but you can also put it in a food processor. It makes the vegetables tiny and disappear into the rice.
re: chowser
I am in a chicken rut. This recipe by Lidia looks easy & delicious. Thanks.
Make ahead meals. Do a lot of your meals on a Sunday and then just warm up for meals during the week. I make and freeze a lot of things that I can then pull out a night or two before I reheat. Stews, casseroles, etc. You can make most anything and freeze it, then while it is reheating, you can make a side at the same time.
re: boyzoma
What about chili? If you have a slow cooker you can set it and forget it and come home to a filling meal.
When I'm pressed for time, frittatas come to the rescue. It's "whatever's in the fridge" omelet. Leftover sausage? Lobster? Easter ham? Throw it in. Serve the frittata with some smashed potatoes or a quick mac & cheese.
If your family likes wraps, summer rolls are really quick and easy and the kids can messily assemble their own.
Do you have a slow cooker? That can really help. While you wouldn't want to eat meals from it every day of the week and can help you out a lot.
Do you like to cook overall? A life saver for me has been batch cooking on the weekend to fill the freezer. I usually pick one or two Sundays a month and make huge batches of things like meatballs, meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, pizza dough, all kinds of soups and stews, assorted baked pasta dishes. Many of your family favorite lend themselves to batch cooking too like pastas, chicken soup and enchiladas
Many of those things can be popped right in the slow cooker, still frozen, before you leave in the am and then the main part of dinner is done when you walk in the door. Or leave a sticky on the fridge the night before to remind you take something out to defrost
I also make point of making extras when I make pancakes, waffles and french toast. They freeze great, layered between wax papers. Pop in the toaster and you have quick breakfast, snack or "breakfast for dinner".
Things that are guaranteed to get my son to the table are make your own burritos/tacos, meatballs/meatball subs, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, carrot/ginger soup, chicken noodle soup and make your own pizza
re: foodieX2
Thanks, foodiex2. This is really helpful. I do like to cook, actually, but hate the rush. I was good about the cook ahead thing in the winter, but it seems summer hasn't been as conducive to that. So many other fun things to do on weekends, and somehow many of those cook ahead things didn't seem as appealing.
A question about the slowcooker, though. I have one but think it might be too big. I can't leave it for too long unattended unless it is full, and that results in quantities to feed an army. How big is yours?
re: ClippyZ
I hear ya. Summer food doesn't call to mind stews and other crockpot things. You want fresh, light stuff. One thing I've realized is easy: fish tacos. Do thin filets on the stove in 10 minutes including preheat, prep guac in the meantime, sliced onion & lime, jarred tartar sauce and sriracha, tostadas = pretty tasty dinner. I also do large quantities of pulled pork, not necessarily in BBQ sauce (can do 'Asian' or green chiles), and use it many ways: tacos, nachos, sandwiches, most recently ramen! It even freezes well.
re: julesrules
Mark Bittman has 101 summer meals that are supposed to take 10-20 minutes I think. It is from the NYT. Some are kid friendly, some are not but obviously depends on the child.
re: ClippyZ
On the crock pot... I sometimes use it just for cooking meat instead of a stew/soup, etc.
Example, a big roast that can then be divided up to become sandwiches, into a salad, shredded for tacos or sliders, etc. I've done similar with chicken breast, then divided the meat up for different purposes (tacos, pitas, on pizza, into a curry, etc.). If it will all get used up in meals over a few days, I leave it in the fridge. If not, packed up in meal-sized portions and into the freezer!
re: ClippyZ
Mine is big and it does hold a lot but it also switches to warm when the cooking cycle is complete. Does yours have that option?
Agree that summer is not conducive to batch cooking! We were just talking about this on WFD threads-how Fall is nice because its back to routine!
Hi ClippyZ,
Tell your hubby to cook some nights, too!! :-)
Seriously, though, great ideas by previous posters. The crockpot is my best friend, especially in the winter, for chili, stews, all sorts of things.
My house isn't as busy as yours, but we do make-your-own wrap nights and top-your-own-salad nights. For the wraps, we have everything from cream cheese and salsa and pesto and peanut butter (not at once) to diff. cheeses, veggies and meats (both deli sliced meats and leftovers). For the salads, we top with hardcooked eggs, meat, tuna, other veggies, whatever we want, and the dressing of choice.
We're also fans of breakfast for supper. A plate of scrambled eggs and bacon is hard to beat.
re: pinehurst
As kids we loved make your own pita bread pizza night!
re: pinehurst
Good on you for the breakfast suggestion. Quick and easy. We do it about every other month. And, the crock pot is a life saver. We like crock pot pizza which if you have kids, is a total enjoyment. A pork butt for bbq pork sandwiches is a must in that bad boy. Pot roast? Easy, peasy. Chili, check. Soups, check (and make a grilled cheese once home).
re: boyzoma
Speak to me of this crock pot pizza, dear boyzoma. I'm intrigued!
re: pinehurst
Yes, please, do tell. I thought I'd seen pretty much every crock pot trick out there but pizza? No way.
re: chowser
Never mind. I googled it. It's a pasta dish that uses pepperoni and tomato sauce.
re: boyzoma
OK - here is the link to the one I use: http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/163426/...
It's not a traditional "crust" pizza, and yes, it does use pasta, but it also has the flavors of a pepperoni pizza. You can also change up the flavors to whatever you like instead of pepperoni.
re: pinehurst
Ha! Yes, I tried that with my husband, but he's actually home later than me, and his idea of home cooking is pasta with Prego. :)
re: ClippyZ
A big batch of pasta sauce made on a weekend (even in the crockpot!) and frozen into meal sized portions could easily turn his (or your,) cooking nights into pasta with home made sauce. You can even cook and puree all sorts of veggies like carrots and roasted peppers into the sauce to increase it's nutritional value. Open a bag of salad and some veggies that you've diced up into containers on the weekend and you've got a well rounded meal.
Just pop a container of sauce out of the freezer and into the fridge to defrost on mornings when it's his turn to cook.
Some of my favorite home cooking is made from leftovers in the fridge. But it helps to plan for leftovers.
When I make rice for any purpose, for example, I make twice what I'll need so that I can have a tupperware container of 1- 2-day-old rice in the fridge to make fried rice, which doesn't have to be too spicy and can be done in any number of seasoning profiles from Chinese to Thai and Mexican. Just mix in whatever leftover proteins, egg, and veggies you have around. My favorite flavor background comes from Thai chili pastes.
The same principle applies to leftover spaghetti or other pasta: with day-old pasta, you can make a frittata with herbs, egg, diced cured sausage, etc. In this and the fried rice, it is important that the starch not be freshly cooked but a day or more old, for moisture reasons.
Grilled salmon or pork chops with cous-cous can be quick and easy. Important to use a properly tasty broth with cous-cous, as you might already know.
I spent a few days with my niece last week. She works and has two young children. She is very organized, she plans her meals and always shops with a grocery list. She does buy some convenience foods, (prewashed spinach), the other night she made a spinach salad, put some green apple in it, some slightly heated walnuts which had been carmelized and topped with a balsamic dressing. Still thinking about that nourishing salad. She makes quite a bit of stir fries, using whole wheat pasta, garden vegetables and chicken. I need to spend two weeks with her to learn her healthy approach to feeding her family. For myself I really like a lemon angel hair pasta recipe from Big Bowl of Love, Christina Ferrare. It can be made in advance and reheated, it is fresh and light.
A crowd pleaser that is very easy is a tagine with couscous. Dump chicken, lamb shoulder chops, whatever you like in a pan with chunks of onion and pepper, add broth and spices, leave it on low a few hours, throw in dried fruit fifteen minutes before serving and couscous five minutes before serving.
Beefburgers -- 1 lb. Ground beef, browned with onion. Mash in a can of vegetable beef/alphabet soup, stir in 1/4 C. ketchup, 1 T. mustard. Add water if needed. Simmer 5 minutes while you warm hamburger buns (toaster oven or stovetop.) Serve with optional dill pickle slices, carrot sticks. Great with cornchips if you're out of buns.
Toaster oven Smoked Turkey chimichangas (or regular oven if you start to preheat it immediately when you walk in the door..) We use salsa instead of the (too hot/spicy) adobo. Recipe here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ra...
Hot peanuts sauce over rice with cooked vegetables.
Faked chicken pot pie - Preheat oven. Can of cream of potato soup, diced cooked chicken (from deli rotisserie chicken), briefly cooked frozen mixed veg (steamed in microwave or stovetop), seasoning of choice - I like oregano & parsley. Combine in 8x8 pan, top with half of refrigerated crescent roll, bake to golden brown. Make the rest of the rolls and use with scrambled eggs for breakfast or next night's dinner.
BTW - who has the meltdown - you, daughter or husband? Could you serve a scoop of cottage cheese with fruit or club crackers as you start cooking? A square of veggie pizza, half a devilled egg, Or other hors d'oeuvres ? Just a part of what might otherwise be in the meal, to stave off hunger-panic while you catch your breath and assemble the rest.
re: MidwesternerTT
Ha - my daughter! I wouldn't be married to him if it was my husband! :) She has an "appetizer" in the car on the way home from school, but if I don;t keep it light, she doesn't eat dinner. And it's also a matter of a sheer lack of time in the evening - if dinner gets pushed back, so does bath, so does bed, etc etc.
re: ClippyZ
8-12 nuts, depending on size, will take the edge off anyone's appetite. The car snack might be a factor - what does it usually consist of? If it's mostly carbs, it'll ramp up her appetite. A cube of cheese or a small yogurt or a half a piece of fresh fruit is better than cookies or chips. Not to mention water or flavored water. Lots of what we perceive as hunger pangs is actually dehydration. See how she feels 20 minutes after drinking 8oz or more of water or fitness water. She may no longer be hungry, and getting into the habit of first, water, then food if you're still hungry in a half hour would be a good thing for parents and kids alike.
re: greygarious
It's usually water + fruit or veggies, maybe some nuts or cheese. I try to think of it as a part of dinner rather than a snack, since I know it will get eaten regardless of what it is!
There was a good discussion this summer about some specific cookbooks and recipes for quick cooking. Link here
re: MidwesternerTT
Possibly even more helpful than that thread (of which I am the OP), I think, is this thread "Cooking Strategies for working parents of young children": http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/863756
The thread has 343 replies, which can be pretty intimidating, but in this post, about 2/3'rds of the way down, I summarized all of the recommendations that had been made at that point: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8637...
There are a bunch more suggestions that came after my summary, but the summary might be a good place to start if you're not prepared to start at the very beginning.
This thread on everyday pre-dinner bites may give you some added ideas
Here are some quick and easy favorites chez-TDQ:
Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp:
Proper blokes' sausage fusilli (we add peas to make it a one-pot meal):
Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika: http://www.pepperplate.com/recipes/vi...
Chicken, Zucchini, and Prosciutto
Cherry tomato and tofu salad
Tofu with Lemon, Soy, White Wine, and Butter Sauce
Baked Shrimp with Scallions, Tomatoes, and Feta
If you can do a big batch of grains (rice cooker!) and/or beans (crockpot!) on the weekend, you can have them ready to dive to at any point during the week.
The now obsolete magazine "everyday food" from the martha stewart empire still exists online-
Tons of quick dinners with simple instructions:
I also have to say that each sunday i do as much prep as i can, even if it is just making a pot of quinoa and some roasted veggies. I use the "help" during the week to then make a meal faster- i.e. add the roast veggies to burritos or the quinoa becomes part of the stuffing for stuffed peppers.
Long ago I was a working mom going through a similar problem. I found one thing that helped. Once a week I would take a few moments to plan out the following week's meals. I would have my recipe box with me and be able to pull out simple dishes to make, the family enjoyed, which I had long forgotten about. Or find a recipe I wanted to try that completely slipped my mind because I was so busy. Knowing what I'd be making would also provide me with a clue about any ingredients to pick up when I went shopping.
I've now given this book to my niece, who's in college and frequently pressed for time, but it's a great book:
It's written for just your situation, and some of the recipes are really, really good. (Chicken Marsala, Moo Shu Pork)
I keep chicken thighs and a big bag of mixed Asian vegetables in the freezer at all times. You start a pot of rice, and by the time it's done, you have a stirfry ready.
I'm in your shoes too. I agree with everything that's been posted, especially making all or part of a meal beforehand so all you need to do is heat up, stir fry, whatever at the last minute.
My tip is to jot down a weeknight meal plan for the week on Sunday. Stick it on the fridge - Monday, meatball sandwiches and salad, etc. Do what is necessary over the weekend or the night before to prep parts of the meal so that when you get home, it is truly 30 min. or less. I've peeled and chopped potatoes the night before, marinated chicken thighs that can then be sautéed stove top, made salad components, etc.
I like to cook and have more time after dinner than before. Could you make or prep after bedtime and then just assembly, reheat or cook the next day? For example: yesterday I made meatloaf, prepped all my salad ingredients and made a corn casserole in about an hour in the evening. Today I will reheat the hot meals and assemble the salad.
re: melpy
I do this too. After dinner and bedtime I pack up leftovers, including packing some leftovers as my lunch. Then I start whatever prep for the next day -- marinating proteins, chopping veggies, mixing up a sauce, etc. -- anything to make the sprint the next evening a bit more streamlined.
Taco bar night -- fillings made with ground turkey and grilled chicken; hard shells, whole wheat tortillas, refried black beans and the standard range of toppings.
Trini-Chinese Chicken (much posted about recipe from the NYTimes). i've discovered that we like it best made with boneless skinless breast tenders (which I know changes the dish). Seriously good. the chicken is marinated with five spice, soy, ginger and fresh lime. i add sesame oil to the marinade because i don't fry it as per the recipe. My daughter loves the chicken marinated and then baked. for the adults, I slather on the fiery sauce called for (mix of oyster sauce, scotch bonnet sauce and more fresh lime). it's awesome. I usually serve this with some rice and stir fried bok choi or broccoli. Last night i made it with some doctored TJ's (frozen) shrimp fried rice. i didn't use the TJ"s shrimp, but sauteed up a bunch of my own veggies, cubed baked tofu and a lot of baby spinach, to which I added the frozen Thai style fried rice. It was great. will repeat the doctored thai fried rice and as an accompaniment to the Trini chinese chicken.
slow braised pork shoulder in the slow cooker. turkey chili also works well.
Roasted salmon -- maple glazed, dijon and herb crusted or crusted with crushed wasabi peas. always along with roasted veggies -- roasted cauliflower and asparagus. I roast all at the same temp just stagger their entrance to the oven. I try to prep the veggies in advance so i can just pop it all in on schedule. I race in the door, preheat oven to 400. Throw cauliflower in baking dish with olive oil and a good amount of garlic powder, salt and pepper. in for 40 minutes or so. Once that's in prep the salmon -- season, the glaze/sprinkle on topping. it goes in at the 22 min mark. next the asparagus. drizzle with olive oil, season and in at the 15 min mark. during the last 15 mins, i kick off my shoes, make sure table is set, hands are washed, etc.
I tend to do a lot of oven roasted veggies as sides (cauliflower roasted as above, or tossed with tandoori masala; butternut squash, zucchini and yellow squash, asparagus; brussel sprouts, etc.) and use my oven for proteins quite a bit. So with some tweaking the above description can be fit to many meal plans. For the weeknight dinner sprint I like the hands off cooking so that I can race around picking up, changing clothes, etc. while the food is in the oven.
and a pressure cooker -- makes it possible to make food that tastes slow-cooked in under an hour.
I've been on a stir fry quick lately. I throw some rice in the rice cooker when I walk in the door. I try to do my chopping the night before, and use things like snow peas and frozen peeled shrimp that don't need any prep.
We have a gas grill, and I find that boneless chicken or pork tenderloin with grilled vegetables is very doable for a weeknight. The dishwashers in the family also appreciate the easy clean up!
"(or meltdown city ...). "
I think this may have been why mom made hot tea and toastpoints with nutbutter on them when we would get home from school as she was getting stuff out to make dinner. then we would wash up and start helping her.. and it was a relaxed fun time...
we still eat later than most american famlies though...when we were kids it sometimes meant we heaven forbid did not bathe every night...and bathed in the morning .
some make aheads that were easy:
stuffed shells
sweadish meatballs
chef salad
short ribs( mom would cook these almost done and finish them on the day)

On July 12, 2014 the Fort Myers Police Department investigated a complaint where the victim advised she received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Fort Myers Police Detective. The caller posing as a detective was threatening to arrest the victim if she did not pay an undisclosed amount of money. The scam went a step further due to the caller ID showing the main number to FMPD.
The victim was not fooled, hung up and called the non-emergency number to report the incident. "We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of these types of scams and ask that you stay alert and call the police if you are the receiver of this or any other fraudulent offense," stated police spokesperson Lieutenant Victor Medico.

The use of fertilizers is important to increase crop yields in soils that are being used for agricultural purposes. However, in order to maximize plant growth, it is also absolutely essential to know how the crops are using the nutrients in the soil. This process is commonly referred to as a fertility management program, where many soil samples are taken over a predefined area of the land and analyzed for various components such as pH, organic matter, and trace element nutrients. This article describes how a soil testing laboratory in the midwest has developed a method to analyze up to 3500 soil samples per day for 11 trace metals, using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy. It will focus on the soil sampling procedure together with the sample preparation requirements for this high workload environment. The instrumental analytical procedure will be described in greater detail, particularly how the measurement protocol and sampling process are optimized to cope with such extreme..

a journal in progress
Jan. 15, 2014 - A few days before the year 2013 ended, my boyfriend Odino accompanied our dear friend Astrid and her son Bhumy to Yogyakarta's Imogiri area, to a Permaculture center called Bumi Langit. We have another good friend there; his name is Krisna. Not only is Krisna into Permaculture, he is also into arts. He plays music, he paints, and he makes batik using natural dyes. Just as well, for every Permaculture designer is an artist in their own respect.
That night, probably after drinking coffee, Krisna taught everyone how to paint using coffee dregs. I imagine he took out a brush made from one of his fathers' cows' hair and started dipping it in the moist, dark particles before turning them into line after line on a piece of paper. I also imagine how Odino became so fascinated by this, like a child finding out the key to a magic trick, that he ended up making images on tens of pages in his journal, a few of them in collaboration with six-year-old Bhumy.
Obviously, I wasn't there. He showed me those naive but mostly bleak images consisting of strong, wide strokes after he'd come home. He then made his coffee and used the dregs to make more works. At this point it seemed like the child was yet to be weary of practicing the magic trick. But he hasn't been. He's used to key to create other tricks. He chewed on a satay stick to make a brush; our housemate Diba gave him sheets of paper; and he bought himself a set of watercolor pastes. He began to find the wonders of colors.
Someone once said that Odino and I are like twin flames, each the reflection of the other. Now that Odino has accidentally fallen in love with painting, I can see why. I used to look for satisfaction in painting, only to discover that I could never keep it up. I know that one of my biggest passions is writing, or learning to write, namely to keep being awed at how language can create colors. In his own words, Odino wished he could write well. He created a number of blogs to practice. Once he'd had enough with one blog, he would start another one, and then another one, until he stopped. He has now found himself in awe at how colors, lines, and textures can create language.
Odino and I have been living together for over a year now. I'm his first boyfriend. I have a lot of exes. But I guess that at the earliest stage of our relationship, we were both at that same level of getting used to the process of tightening and loosening the bond: to test how much it hurt, to be relieved when the pain dissipated. In that process, perhaps my boyfriend saw it as a game. At least that's an interpretation from my side. You see, it was all too natural for him to make me confused with his words and actions, or the lack thereof. He still baffles and surprises me from time to time. In the very beginning, seen from one side, he seemed like a perfectly aligned Rubik's cube. Soon it became apparent that all the other sides were jumbled up and I happened to be the only one around who would be utterly distraught should it be left unsolved. The twisting and turning began. The series of "Where did that (color) come from?!" was both frustrating and intriguing — all in all addictive.
Now, though, I see experiencing the game, the puzzle, the fun, the irritation, as taking part in life itself — the simultaneous inner and outer experiences that make one alive. It's no longer just about pain or relief. It's about living. Thus I'm grateful for the surprises that he keeps throwing my way to keep me going, such as the images that appear in his paintings. Every time I look at a new one, I can't help but ask in silence: Where did that come from?
