About Us

I think it all started way back when the kids were little, in answer to that forever question: "I'm hungry ... what can I eat? ... what's for dinner ... for snack ... for breakfast?" I would toss out suggestions, ideas, think up ways to help fill empty bellies. When friends were over, we'd often end up playing longer (and harder) than originally planned. End result: lots of hungry kids and tired moms -- oh, what to do? Time to whip up something fast and quick.

One time my good friend Elizabeth cried out: "Hey, you're quite the Queen of the Quick Meal!" And it was such a catchy name that it stuck. When I first started blogging it was under the QQM title, and years later when I decided to pursue creating a user-friendly site that would truly help folks figure out what to make with what they had on hand, it was still the name on the tip of my tongue: Queen of the Quick Meal.

"What's for dinner?" is that age-old dilemma that never seems to be very far away from any of our daily actions: keepin' bodies powered up  to accomplish all that we want and need to. Sure, we've all got shelves and shelves of cookbooks -- I wouldn't be able to survive without 'em! But when you need fast mealtime help it's time for Mealtime S-O-S.

My sincere wish is to help you figure out what you can make with what you've got on hand. Good, basic, everyday food that your kids will like. Satisfying, fast combos that you can whip up in 20 minutes or less. It's been a long-time dream of mine to bring this to you, to help provide you with a real tool to meet mealtime dilemmas. Now the fun starts, eh?!

Looking forward to connecting with you via email, Facebook and twitter,

Christine
