Ok, sorry I have not posted anything in a while, but I have been studying for a certification test and have really not been cooking anything special due to time constraints. Ben and I have just been eating FAST dinners, so, however easy and boring these may sound, here are some ideas for those busy people who really don't have more than 10 minutes to cook a dinner. Sorry Rachael Ray, but sometimes we don't even have 30 minutes to make a meal!
Roasted chicken already cooked from Sam's - $5.00
We made 5 minute cous cous to go with it and some french green beans (the long skinny ones) and mushrooms that took 10 minutes in the skillet with some Pam and salt and pepper.
Chicken and spinach sausage
These are also from Sam's, and take 7 minutes in the skillet and are 110 calories. Throw some onions in the skillet too and they are yummy...
Soup with whatever you have in the house
Make a big pot of soup on Sundays that you can eat throughout the week. Throw in some chicken broth and whatever vegetables you have in the house. If you put onions in there, you want to sautee them first and get them soft before you throw everything else in there because onions take longer.
Smoked Turkey Barbeque sandwiches
Grab some smoked turkey from the grocery store (we get ours from Sams....are you seeing a trend here?) and add bbq sauce, pickles, and onions...you feel like you are at a barbecue restaurant. Make a quick can of beans as a side.
Like I said, these are super easy and silly, but when you don't have any time to cook, they are good options to feed your tummy.

As many new brides do, I definitely find myself struggling in the kitchen. My most embarrassing moment was coming home to burned chicken in the crock pot...yes, I said crock pot. As I keep trying new recipes, I will keep updating you other beginners out there. Also, feel free to share your recipes - both successes and failures as heaven knows we all need help!
