rotate the starches ----rice, pasta, potatoes
shop at Fresh Market [let them pick out cheeses, cold cuts, bread, desserts, light and dark beer, red and white wine]
basmati rice with fresh parsley and butter, cooked rotisserie chicken, salad [when you get home wash the rice and cook it while someone cuts up the cooked chicken]
If you want to fuss a little take the bones and put them in a crock pot with a qt or so of water, 1/2 onion with the skin on, stalk of celery, those little carrots, bay leaf, garlic with the skin on
--since the meat is already cooked you don't need to worry about under cooking, strain everything and toss out the solids, put the broth in the fridge and skim off the fat later,,,save this for the tortellini soup later on in the week]
linguine with fresh basil and garlic [microwave the garlic in the skins for 30 sec], broiled or sauteed shrimp with lemon and olive oil, asparagus with crumbled blue cheese
sweet potatoes [cut into chunks, leave the skin on and put in crock pot on low for about 3 hours], broiled or baked ham steak with a little maple syrup and mustard spread on top, Deli baked beans--hot or cold
brown rice, broiled salmon [ask for 6 oz servings] with hoisin sauce spread on top, broccoli
meat tortellini, carrots [get the little ones], mushrooms, scallions [put bottoms in the broth and the tops sprinkled on right before serving] in chicken broth [not college in or bouillon] but store bought
Crock Pot Beef stew, garlic, little red potatoes, onions, portabella mushrooms [tell the butcher you are making beef stew so he cuts it] Just add everything to a little beef broth and red wine or balsamic vinegar [don't bother flouring and browning] in a crock pot and season [this is where you can get rid of the extra raw veggies and herbs from earlier in the week, even the chicken broth---and the cooked ones and herbs can go in the last 10 minutes]
If you need a recipe for each i will pm you if you ask but it's pretty much heat and serve with very little prep or reading a recipe. Just stay close to the fish and shrimp while it cooks,,it can overcook very quickly.
