I used to make full dinners every night, when the kids were still at home, my husband tells me, don't bother cooking, I'll just throw something together. Ok by me.

The last time my son and his family were at the house, I let my daughter-in-law cook whatever the kids wanted, she baked a cake, and everything!

I do mostly one pot meals........soup, rice with seasoning and chicken, spaghetti. Lots of veggies and just a little meat. It takes 5 minutes to put on the stove and it can simmer until we are ready to eat. We don't do tv dinners and I try not to use the oven in the summer. I get most of my meat from Schwans......they deliver it to the door and it's excellent quality. Schwans also has a merlot beef dish....... beef, potatoes, carrots in a brown gravy that is delicious. A bag of goodness that cooks on the stove top.

I baked some chicken leg quarters and, baked potatoes.

No potato for me, just chicken.....and, a half cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I used to order stuff from Schwan's, I should look them up, see if they operate in my area.

Calabrese tonight:

Get HOT Italian pork sausage and cut them into 1.5 inch chunks. Sear the cut ends completely on a hot frying pan...roll them around a bit to cook them 50% through.

Drop them into your red sauce and let that cook for 1/2 hour...boiling off the water. Shut it down...let it get cooled off so you can see the fat floating in it...skim that, off.

I like it on what ever pasta is handy.

I popped out to a McDonalds, 1/4 pounders with cheese, large fries and a Diet Coke each.
