During the summer, I don’t really like to spend a lot of my time cooking, in a hot kitchen. We do a lot of grilling outside, Slow Cooker meals, ordering out and stuff like that. I also enjoy finding good, EASY recipes to make that won’t require a lot of time in the kitchen, over the stove for hours, type of meals.

Easy Meal In Minutes

I found one and had to try it out. I am sure you have all heard of the ‘One Pot Meal‘? It was plastered all over Facebook about a month or so ago. Of course, I had to try it out the day I saw it.

Easy Meal In Minutes One Pot Meal It looked so simple to make and only required a few ingredients. I could totally make that, I thought! I was right. It turned out AMAZINGLY delicious! I think this recipe originated from Martha Stewart. I added my own personal touch, by adding more ingredients like the olives, green onions, diced tomatoes, etc.. I love this Easy Meal In Minutes!

Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 8
A delicious and EASY meal
Ingredients
  • Spaghetti Noodles (I used half a package)
  • Tomatoes (I used two large ones) sliced
  • One Medium Onion (sliced)
  • Green Onions ( I used two)
  • I can of Olives (chopped)
  • 1 Can of diced tomatoes
  • Mushrooms (4 large, sliced)
  • Garlic (I used the garlic in a jar 1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and Pepper (I did not measure, just put what I felt like was enough :))
  • 4-5 cups of water (depending on how you like it)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
  1. Combine ALL ingredients into a saucepan
  2. Bring to a boil and mix continuously until water is absorbed into noodles/food

I served this with Rhodes Rolls (which can be found in your frozen section of your supermarket). I can’t believe how delicious this was, it really really was. My kids loved it too. Any meal with noodles is a win in our home anyways, with the kids!

Easy Meal In Minutes One Pot Pasta Meal

This meal is a win/win because I think of the cleanup afterward.. ya, with a one pot meal, there is only ONE pot to clean up and if you use paper plates, that is all you have to clean up! I just rinsed the pan off in the sink, put it in my dishwasher and added my Finish Quantum Power & Free® pod and the rest is history! An easy meal and quick cleanup? Now that is my kind of summer!!!

  1. Lorena Keech says

    My beef and noodles are a favorite meal but the noodles always stick. So I can use help with clean up.

  3. heather says

    I LOVE brewed iced tea and I drink a ton of it. I want to see if Finish Products can get the tea stains out of my pan that is my messiest kitchen thing.

  5. Deb C says

    When my dishwasher detergent was leaving cloudy residue on my glasses and plates, Finish could have helped me out. Actually, it did.

    I can always count on Finish to make my dishes sparkly, no matter how dirty they are.

  10. Anne says

    I love to bake, but I don’t love cleaning up all those bowls and measuring cups and spatulas afterwards. Finish would certainly help with that, especially because I wouldn’t have to pre-wash the dirty dishes before running them through the dishwasher.

  13. Tina Talley says

    It would help me by getting all of my dishes clean in the dishwasher, instead of me having to do them by hand 🙂

    Finish could let me put the dishes in the dishwasher and go relax with the family quicker since I wouldn’t have to pre-wash the dinner dishes :)!

  91. Margaret J says

    I cannot tell you how many times I’ve shaken a jar or bottle of something, not realizing the cap wasn’t on tightly. You can imagine the mess. While it doesn’t help directly, I am always confident the dishes in the dishwasher will come clean with Finish, so I can be tracking down the splatters on the floor, walls, counters, and ceiling instead of pre-washing the things that can go in the dishwasher. Thank you for the giveaway1

  92. Wendy Hark says

  98. Barbara Montag says

    This product would be so helpful – I tend to be a messy cook.
    Time and effort savor – thank you.

  99. Dara Nix says

    I am currently living with my son and his roommate — and NEITHER of them tends to rinse off any dishes, pots, or pans before putting them in the dishwasher! So I find myself having to reclean the “clean” dishes! This would help do away with that!!

  101. Heather Hayes Panjon says

    Finish Products Would Help Me Save Time Cleaning Up In The Kitchen, Giving Me More Time To Spend With My Family.

  102. Jennifer Tilson says

    Sometimes I get in such a hurry that I literally throw dishes and pots and pans in the dishwasher without rinsing them. I’d love it if Finish did the job of cleaning my dishes well for me.

  103. Patricia Wojnar Crowley says

    finish products would help me because we are doing a lot of canning this year and it is very messy!

  106. Dominique says

    I FINALLY have a dishwasher for the first time in five years!!! (It’s amazing!) I’m having to learn what soap works and what doesn’t, so I’d LOVE some Finish!

  107. Mary Beth Elderton says

    My new dishwasher–about a year or so old now–recommended Finish. I have used it ever since!

  108. Tammy S says

    I love to cook and bake. So we always have lots and lots of dishes. It would help keep my dishes spotless because we live in a area with hard water. I end up with spots on all my dishes.

  110. Betsy Barnes says

    Finish Products would help, hubby loves to cook, when he does, it seems that every pot is used, along with food everywhere. So, Finish definitely would help on all those caked on pots 🙂

  111. Dawn Monroe says

    I think it may help because we have well water that has a lot of iron and other things in it. We have to have a powerful cleaner or it won’t even suds up.

  114. Janet W. says

    It would help me by actually cleaning the dishes well without me having to scrub with all my strength to get off dried on foods.

  117. janetfaye says

    Finish products would help me clean up messy casseroles I like to make like baked ziti, enchiladas and lasagna.

    Finish products would help me with all my baking dishes. Baking is fun, clean up is definitely not.

  121. Kimberly Schotz says

    I would like to see if Finish Power and Free will clean the greasy dishes in my dishwasher

  125. Ashley C says

    We have an older dishwasher and so it could use some help getting dishes clean!

    demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com

  136. Dana Rodriguez says

    When my fiance’ cooks on the weekend he makes a HUGE mess! Finish would be a huge help to me to get my dishes clean.

  137. Rebecca Orr says

    Well, I don’t have a dishwasher. But my grandma (who lives next door) does, and my cousin and I like to make messes in her kitchen! We have made chili, baked goods, and cauliflower crust pizza in her kitchen. Always a big mess to clean up after!

  138. tammigirl says

    I can’t tell you how many times my family leaves their dishes on the counter for me to find and deal with later. So I would like these which can help take off stuck on foods for up to 24 hours. It would be helpful!

  141. Kevin E says

    with 3 kids who are hungry all of the time, I am cooking all of the time! We use a lot of dishes, so Finish Quantum Power and Free would make my life easier!

  142. Rebecca Parsons says

    When I cook in the oven I get a lot of stuck on mess, especially the casserole dish. Would be nice to have something to cut through the mess.

  146. Christina Foley says

    I love to cook, bake and experiment in the kitchen, sometimes they don’t turn out just as planned (or I get side tracked and oops… over bake something lol) and those are usually the hardest to clean.

  151. Melinda says

    Perhaps I’m not the best cook. And, maybe that’s why I accidently burned the oil at the bottom of the popcorn pan… and put too much sugar in the sauce recipe, turning it into a solid molasses… oh I need some help cleaning up my kitchen disasters.

  156. Julie Lynn Bickham says

    It could have come in handy yesterday. I made pot roast in my crock-pot. I didn’t realize how much liquid I put in it. Lets just say there was a big gravy mess all over the place. My poor crock pot got it the worst.

  158. Karen Glatt says

    I only use Finish dishwashing products. Over the 4th of July weekend we had family over and barbecued. Well you know barbecue food really sticks on dishes, but I used the Finish tablets to clean my dishes and they cleaned off every hard tough stains. Miracle product

  162. Marcie W. says
