    Quiche ~ Beat your eggs, add frozen brocc (rinse in warm water and drain well), onion, mushroom, salt/pepper, cheese(shredded),can add bacon bits, sausage, etc, spray pan, preheat oven bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can also use this recipe and put it in a crust if desired.

    Buy a George Foreman grill with removable plates. Our family cooks on it almost every night. We have 2 chicken nites, 2 red meat nights, and 2 fish nights each week. Nothing takes more than 12 minutes to cook. While meat is grilling, heat up some frozen veggies, butter and toast some bread in the toaster oven, make rice or instant mash potatoes, cut up some fruit. In less than 20 minutes you can have a great healthy meal. Clean up with the removable grates is very easy. The hubby loves to grill and I do the other stuff. Great time to unwind and chat before dinner.

    Here's my fav... I take the pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken breasts (breaded ones work well too). Then, get Hunt's diced tomatoes with the green pepper, onion and celery in it, the bag of mozzerella cheese and protein enriched angel hair pasta with frozen steamed veggies or side salad.

    Heat everything up according to the packages, put the pasta on the plate with the sauce then cheese on top, put the chicken breast on the plate, then sauce and cheese - veggies and it looks like/tastes like you spent a long time on it, but I go from walking in the door to dinner on the table in 20min. : D. Enjoy.

    We like salmon croquettes: Flake a can of salmon, removing bones and excess skin; add 1 egg, crushed saltine crackers and seasonings (salt, pepper, dill, onions, etc.). Mix, form into patties and fry in olive oil until crispy and brown. Heat a couple of cans of veggies (or use frozen) and dinner is ready. We usually have enough for lunch leftovers the following day.

    I love eggs and toast at night. Eggs anyway with sausage, toast and sometime gravy. Delicious Also something inthe crock pot and you get left overs for other nights. Roast with carrots, potatoes and onions. Soups, stews, ribs, the possibilities are endless.

    This is one of our favorites too! It works with pork chops and round steak as well.
    Sometimes I omit the veggies, stir in a bit of sour cream while i cook noodles and make it into a stroganoff.

    I also cook with planned leftovers in mind. Easy to do cause i'm still in the "cook for everyone" mode even though it's just two of us.

    Corn Chowder Excellent

    8 Large Potatoes (Peeled and Cubed)
    2 Cans of Swanson chicken broth
    1 Large onion, chopped
    1/4 Cup Margarine
    2 Cans (14-3/4) Cream Style Corn
    8 oz Real Bacon Bits or 6 strips of bacon cooked crisp
    Crumble and plce in soup.
    2 Cups of Milk
    1 -16oz. Colby cheese more or less depending on your taste

    Place potatoes in a large cook ware; cover potatoes with chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. (Do not drain potatoes.) I mashed my potatoes but left a few in cubes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in margarine until tender. Stir in corn and bacon bits; heat through. Add corn, colby cheese, and milk to potatoes and stir till cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
    Yield: 12-14 servings.

    Tonight we are having Salsa chicken. I put frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot this morning and dumped a jar of salsa over them. Cooked them on low all day. When I got home, I started some rice in the rice cooker. In just a few minutes we will have a scrumptious dinner. I also make Swiss steak with a chuck steak and several cans of diced tomatoes. Serve that over rice, also. Yum Yum!!
