Feedings.....

I don't know about the rest of you but with summer here, my motivation to
cook is slim to none. (Actually, its like that in the winter too) So I
thought I would ask for any suggestions of simple things to make that don't
take alot of heat usage. Preferablly things that don't have to be cooked and
are not just salads. (I already know about salads, trust me)

Thanks.

Tiffany

ps.... still waiting on that dinner party at Pauls. ;)

Do you have a grill? That's keeps the heat out of the house.

This requires cooking, but boneless skinless chicken breasts are easy, healthy
and my kids will eat them. Now some people complain that they are tasteless,
but I've used to them enough that chicken with skin tastes terribly fatty to
me. Also I marinate them for about an hour. No it's not as much work as you
think.

Rub a little salt and pepper and maybe some garlic on them, pour some apple
juice or pineapple juice or lemon juice or white wine over them. Pour yourself
a glass of wine and take a bath for an hour. If you are feeling ambititious,
make up some rice. Or skip the rice. If you have rice, put the rice in a
baking dish and put the chicken on top of the rice. Bake at about 350 for
about 45 minutes. If you don't want to bake, grill them.

Sorry I can't be helpful with the no-cooking part. Unless you make
sandwhiches.

Jack Daniels and brown sugar works pretty well too ;-) and you can save
the wine bottle for another day LOL

Oh yea, I do sometimes rub a little sugar on them. And speaking of Jack
Daniels, it's not much more work, but I make a mean bourbon chicken...

Sounds like good idea. I don't have a grill, just a George Forman. I do eat
lots of chicken that way. I do like Pauls Jack Daniels idea BUT I don't know
if its a good idea to have a bottle of Jack in my house. Could lead to
trouble. lol

Long live the microwave. :)

I spent a lot of years alternating two crockpots nightly so that when
I came home from work dinner was always ready. This was particularly
great in the North where it's cold as hell in the winter and having a
hot meal ready at home is a huge plus. I have about four crock pot
recipe books and we just had tons of crock pot dinners.
