mmmm, some of these sound delish! tonight I sauteed tilapia filets in browned butter and made microwaved veggies...the fish cooked in only 10 minutes so it was actually super quick and easy.

I'd love to know more about "skillet dinner" too!
Tonight I cooked some garlic in butter, then cooked chicken breasts in the butter, once they were cooked I sprinkled some brown sugar on them and covered the lid, and the sugar and butter made a kind of glaze. Then I sauteed some spinach in the same pan.
All pretty good but not garlicy enough for my taste. Next time I maybe will make some smashed spuds too.

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.

Speedy Chili: 1 can chili beans, 1 can diced Mexican style tomatoes, 1 can drained whole corn. Add spices to taste. You can add cooked ground beef or diced chicken. Cook together about 20 minutes. Serve over corn bread. Top with grated cheese, chopped onions, and diced black olives. I mix a little Italian salad dressing and some salsa for a green salad topped with crushed tortilla chips.

I'm a major crock-potter too... love the ease of the entire process, but but but.. .if I'm really desperate we'll have breakfast for dinner or.. I'll nuke some lg. Idaho spuds, split them down the center, ladel heated canned chili over them, put some low fat sour cream over it, maybe some bacon bits and grate up some of our home smoked cheddar cheese. I grow chives on the kitchen window sil...so they get a quick hair cut and that goes on top too...lol
It's a belly bomb of a meal I'm here to tell you.
