What's wrong with my OJ?

The other morning, I ordered orange juice with breakfast.  When I tasted it, I remarked quizzically, "This OJ tastes funny."

My husband gently reminded me that it didn't have Champagne in it.

Ohhhh, right!

Fast, Easy Dinners

Hi everyone,

My household is in desperate need of fast, easy dinners!  Help!

My husband and I frequently work late during the week (ugh!), so we have been ordering take-out way too much.  (The pad thai from Bangkok Cafe is nothing short of glorious!)  Or, even worse, we've been going out to eat frequently, which has it's pluses and minues.  Plus the extra pounds and minus the dollars!

So, I've been trying to come up with dinners that have a shot at being cooked.  Easy and fast. Sadly, I only have three so far:

• Salsa Chicken:  In a baking dish, pour your favorite spicy salsa over chicken breasts.  Cook at 375 for 25-30 mins.  Serve with sauteed veggie and Omaha Steaks potato (baked in oven with chicken).
• Italian Chicken: Create Italian tomato sauce by adding (in small amounts) dried oregano, dried basil, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and parmesan cheese to tomato sauce.   In baking dish, pour the Italian sauce over chicken breasts. Cook at 375 for 25-30 mins. Serve with sauteed veggies.
• Spicy Pork Chops and Grits:  Coat well with spices (I used a jalapeno spice mix), boneless pork chops on both sides.  Place in a cast iron skillet with a pat of butter on top.  Broil for 10 minutes, depending on size.  Serve with sauteed greens (I used swiss chard and onion) and grits.  I had leftover green chili from eating out so I added it to the grits.

What are your ideas?

Cheers,
Christy
