When my side gets together for a week or two during the year, I do the cooking although I'm not the only one that can cook. They know it's my little gift and they run out for the ingredients. Almost always my sister will show up with a spiral cut ham. I'll turn that into soups and casseroles for the rest of the week. And it brings back memories of the old Holidays days when my mom used to serve an early dinner and dessert and we would sit around talking in the dining room telling stories about the kids and work until it was time to start supper from the leftovers served earlier. I think food was central and the personal. And I hate to say it, but my mom was not the best cook and it didn't really matter. . |

I have a quick chicken recipe that my husband LOVES! I cut up chicken into bite-sized pieces, saute it in garlic and olive oil for about 5 minutes. Put it into an oven-safe dish and cover it with crushed Ritz crackers. Drizzle melted butter over the top and bake it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Serve over angel hair with garlic bread. 30 minutes prep and cooking time and you're done! You can play with the recipe and add sliced peppers and onions or whatever you like. It's a fun and easy basic dish.

About 6 months ago I was cooking up a storm and spending a lot of time doing prep, following recipes and the clean-up. Basmati rice was on sale and I followed the directions on the bag. I put butter, salt and pepper on top in a bowl and realized that it tasted better to me than most of the other stuff I was cooking that took a lot of time and ingredients. I started a thread about "If you could eat only 1 food for the rest of your life". Someone else just said in a previous thread, that they loved BLT's. So do I. And unless the tomato is not ripe or you burn the bacon or toast, it just works for me. I started thinking about fruit too. I bought a watermelon and realized you could never make something in the kitchen for dessert that has the flavor and consistency of a $4 watermelon that will fill 10 people. See what happens when some people get old and don't have a job. I think too much. |

Cook 6 chicken breasts on the grill do 3 with barbeque sauce, 3 plain. Eat the Barbeque sauce the first night. Use the plain breasts to make a salad with chicken for another meal!

Seems like you are doing a good job of being creative in the kitchen.
